It's so weird that you post a thread like this...I was just telling somebody last night the story of me and my bf. LOL. ODD ;)
So anyway....get ready to barf everyone ;)
Alright...when I was 19, I moved to Orlando, FL. I was going to college up here in Massachusetts, but decided that I needed a change...I'd always lived in a small town (I'm actually outside of Boston...not in it) and I wanted to see what it'd be like to live in a bigger city...away from home.
My friend from high school, Brooke, had moved to Orlando after HS graduation to attend college there. Since she knew that I was looking to move, she suggested I move to Orlando...cause at least I'd know her, and wouldn't be completely alone. Sounded good enough to me :p
Anyway...after moving down, I decided to get a part-time job at Disney. When I went to interview with them, however, they didn't really have any positions open that were right for me at the time. I was kind of down, b/c I really wanted to work there...but I ended up walking out to my car, and noticed that across the street there was "Downtown Disney" which, is pretty much just a bunch of nightclubs, restaurants...and the "Virgin Megastore" (no jokes please) ;) Virgin ( for those who may not know) is this huge record store....and it was located on Disney property, which meant I still got all the benefits of working for Disney :) (Free park admission, etc) so I figured I'd apply.
I got a call back about a week later, and went in for an interview...and got the job. My first day of working there, I met one of the managers-Shane. YES, I fell in love with my manager....so naughty ;) AHAHAHAH.
Anyway...they always say that you'll know when you meet the person you're going to marry...but I never believed it until I met him. The minute I took one look at him, it was seriously like slow motion...and I just KNEW that I was going to be with him for the rest of my life...before we even said one word to each other. It was like a magnet...we couldn't stay away from each other, and it was as if we'd always known each other. I still don't have the words for it....it was just a very very strange feeling...like nothing I'd ever experienced before.
He was really shy...but he finally asked me out...we went to Universal Studios for our first date :) About 2 weeks later, he told me that he loved me...but that he had actually been in love with me from the minute he saw me...and had said the same thing I felt....that he just "knew" when he met me that I was "it". LOL. I transferred back up to a school in Massachusetts about 2 years after living in Florida, and he moved up with me.
It'd odd when I think about it...b/c if if I hadn't moved to Orlando, and if I hadn't decided not to take a job at Disney...and if I hadn't applied at the record store...we would never have met...it scares me actually, to think that things may have never happened had things gone just slightly differently. ;)
We've been together 4 years now, and I couldn't be happier. We compliment each other, yet still have enough differences to learn from each other. He's a complete gentlemen...always makes me feel like a lady. He still sends me flowers, writes me cards, does things "just because". And that's the way it SHOULD be. It doesn't get old or boring, b/c we don't let it.
I feel extremely lucky that I have a great relationship with a wonderful guy whose literally my best friend. People always tell me that they wish that they could find the type of relationship that he and I have...and I honestly wish and hope that everyone can one day find and experience what we share. It's a beautiful thing for sure ;)
