I can still remember the first time I saw Richard, standing across the way at a friend's house. Richard introduced himself, and after the casual chatting we went our separate ways. For the rest of the evening, we found ourselves locking eyes on more than one occasion, but the night flew by and was over before we had the chance to talk again. A few days passed and as I sat creeping friends on Facebook (of course), I came across Richard's profile. I wasn't sure if I should add him at first, but I worked up the courage and clicked the "Add as Friend" icon and sent him a quick blurb to go along with it. He accepted my request, obviously... we chatted often online, until the day he asked if I wanted to go see the movie "300" with him. From that day on, we talked daily, wrote endless emails back and forth and saw each other frequently. We fell in love that first weekend and throughout the years our love for each other has continued to grow! He is my best friend and together we have been through so much. We couldn't even begin to imagine what life would be like without one another! |
