Me and You

RAVE

I'll post again about this topic after our anniversary. This Wednesday, May 28, Chris and I will be celebrating 2 wonderful years together. It has been the best two years of my life. Here's a little background info.

We met 3 1/2 years before we started dating. I was a college freshman and he was a college senior. I met him one night at the United Campus Ministries and I developed a crush on him that night. We became quick friends and we started meeting everyday at 4:30 to do to dinner together at the cafeteria. One of my most vivid memories of us before dating was one day the first Smallville soundtrack came out (I LOVE Smallville!!). I wanted to get that soundtrack the day it came out, even though there was ice on the roads. I asked Chris to go with me because I was kinda scared about driving on the ice. I have no idea why, but I drove my SUV instead of letting him drive. We went to Wal-Mart, got the soundtrack and on the way back I was getting ready to turn into a parking spot when I started sliding on the ice. I freaked out, but I got control of the car and we arrived safely. Chris thought I was nuts for going out for a cd, but he usually thinks things I do are nuts. :)

Ok, fast forward to 2 years ago. We started dating during Memorial Day weekend. We went camping with a couple of his cousins and one of their dates. One night he insisted on roasting me a marshmellow. Well, he kept buring them or they would drop in the fire. I told him he didn't have to do that, but he was determined to. He finally got one just the way I like it. He sat down and put his arm around me. The time seemed right so I asked him if I could kiss him. He said yes and then leaned over and kissed me. We've been a couple ever since.

I still had one more year left of college and he had one more year of medical school. I went to college 2 hours from where he lived, but my parents live 30 minutes away. I went home most weekends and we hung out.

Chris and I graduated from our schools a week apart. He graduated first. I went to both of the ceremonies. I was so proud of him!! A week later I graduated from college and he came and saw me. I still had a couple of summer classes to take, so I moved back home with my parents and took one of the classes online and drove back to college twice a week for the other.

In June, Chris moved to Texas to start his intern year of residency. We were now 5 hours apart. I missed him like crazy. After a lot of talking we decided that in August after I completed my classes, I would move to Texas to be with him. It was hard to leave my family, but I figured right after finishing college would be the best time to start an adventure in my life. So I moved.

Chris had one dog, a Golden Retriever. Dolly is the love of his life. I think he would get rid of me before getting rid of Dolly. ;) Chris had been working alot and Dolly was lonely so he wanted to get her a playmate. The day after I moved down he went and bought me and Dolly a dog, a Sheltie named Katie. Well, Katie isn't as active as Chris would have like so in January we got a Collie puppy that I named Allie. Even as a small puppy she thought she could kick the butt of an 80 lb. dog!! Poor Allie, she tries and tries.

After being in Texas a couple of months I got a job at a law firm. 4 months later I quit due to lots of things happening and then a comment that was made to me by a coworker (not going to go into specifics here). I got a new job 3 weeks ago and I really like it. Chris has been working like crazy since this is his intern year of residency. His second year starts in 5 weeks and he won't be working near as much. We won't be spending our anniversary together because Chris is working. :(

I have ordered Chris something cool online and it will be delivered this week. I've also got a couple of tricks up my sleeve. ;) I'll post more after the anniversay.

Here are some pics.

Update to come later.

My cell phone has quit working. When I try to call someone or someone calls me, the phone sounds dead. The person on the other line can hear everything I say, but I can't hear them. Since my contract ends in December, my parent sent me my Go Phone that I used in college. If you put your SIM card in it, it works fine. I can't use my cool ringtones that I had downloaded and I even made a couple of awesome ringtones that I can't use.
