From a young age, I'd sworn off getting married.
I wasn't interested.
No one would gain my trust enough for me to give up my heart.
I wasn't interested.

No one.
He had a 1969 VW Bug.
Lived off a CostCo pack of Sour Skittles.
And he had a confident infectious smile.
I found out I had an Art History class with him.
A class that he wasn't doing very well in.
I called him to remind him to study for our test next week.
Instead he invited me to get Slurpees at 7-11.
We went with a group to see The Ring.
I pretended to be scared so I could grab his arm.
I found out later that he was terrified by the movie,
But he pretended not to be, so I wouldn't be afraid.
The next day he invited me on a midnight run to Taco Bell.
I was nervous & weird.
I told him I didn't believe in washing my hair everyday.
With a wry grin he told me it was okay, he liked dirtballs & I had a nice smile.
It wasn't long after that he told me he loved me.
He was always surer of himself & braver than me.
I'm pretty sure I said something like, "Thanks."
He thought maybe he spoke in my deaf ear.
My roommates consoled me, told me it was okay to like him.
Yeah, I thought, it didn't mean I was going to marry him or anything.
I'm glad I was wrong.

I have to copy your fall in love story telling for our blog.
Love this... After all our freshman year shenanigans, I see you a year or so down the road and all of the sudden you were an art history major, had a hubby, and a different last name (ok, I guess those last two kind of go hand in hand)! I felt so behind, thanks for catching me up :)

I remember when you brought him to the family reunion. I was in a big self-pity phase (thinking i would never get married) but I was so tickled by you two and genuinely happy that you'd found someone already.
