Matchmaker matchmaker

6/20-21/09




Hi again avid followers, newcomers, future exes and my future husband,


It was a long weekend of going to various high school grad parties for two different cousins. One having to travel about two hours and then coming back to the valley for the second party.



While back in the LV with the most amazing family I know my cousin and I decided the best way to end the night would be for us to go out to our local hot spot and meet up with some friends... including Mr. Strong and silent. ::heart flutter:: Let me lay this out for you as I saw him before I knew him (if you didn't read the other update about him)...


What I saw was an incredibly good-looking, tall, blonde, blue-eyed man in his late 20's... He was always looking very clean-cut and presentable.. like the guy one would love to take home to mom and dad. He didn't smile often but when he did I felt the need to smile back. He was always quiet...stood in the background... his presence wasn't known but I always knew when he was there. He seemed like someone I could feel safe around, possibly someone who would never hurt me... but that is only the possibilities. The reality is I thought Mr. Strong and Silent was one guy I would be noticing from a far for a long time.

Sitting down with my Cherry Vodka and Cokes, talking to my amazing cousin about everything and anything. It's hard to say what really happened that night. Whether we all drank too much or cupid had really good aim but Mr. Strong and Silent asked if I would go to a party with him and another one of our friends.
The party itself took me to another place... Mr. Strong and Silent's house... with the help of a mutual friend. We sat around and talked about work, school, our friends and their relatioships, how my brother was thinking about going into the airforce and him getting lost in conversation about the Marines. He teased me about how long it was taking me to finish my beer and once again I made fun of his "stern" face and he gave me that smile I can still see...
It felt like seconds before he leaned down and kissed me. It wasn't overbearing but for that second it felt perfect... I work up the next day laying in his bed. At first I honestly thought I was dreaming... for almost 2 years I did nothing but honestly think I would never be where I was at that moment...
He drove me home and it wasn't quiet but it also wasn't a talk fest. We were two people that before that night noticed one another across a dark, loud, and smokey bar. Now all I could think about was do I let my true feelings show or wait to see what happens...
All you can do my friends is wait... just like I had too
XOXO
**ME**
