A year together...
A year ago today was the very first time I went on a date with Dexter Parks. :) There are many things that I remember, thought, and knew on that first date. <3
What I remember from that very first date is, of course, I was nervous. I had been chatting online with this guy that I had only met in person, and talked briefly to in passing. I knew who he was for a very long time, but never really knew him. I remember that he was always very smart and smooth when it came to me. He had heard from friends of mine that I was not someone to be pushed or rushed into dating. I remember his patience as we chatting online and via texting for a while before I felt comfortable enough to go on a date with him. (I have never been the best at dating. I get nervous and uncomfortable around people I don't know well.) I remember being excited and going through most of my closet deciding what to wear. I remember that he brought me purple flowers, and opened all doors for me the entire night. I remember he took me to a restaurant I had never eaten at, and we talked so much that we were almost late for the movie. I remember it was quite a weird movie. I remember seeing him wear his glasses for the first time.(I think he is such a cutie in those glasses.) I remember it being the best first date I had ever been on.
I thought from the moment we started exchanging emails, chats, and texts that he would always be someone fun to talk to. We had many things in common and it seemed like we thought very similar. He seemed very thoughtful from the very beginning - bringing me flowers and making sure I was having a good time. I thought he had a nice truck that he took good care of, which says alot about a guy. I kept thinking that it would be easy to talk to him, not just tonight, but tomorrow night, or next week, or many nights from this one. (Big step for me at that time.) I thought he looked so handsome in his black dress shirt. (He is so handsome in black!) When he laughed and smiled I thought about how much I wanted to see him smile again. I thought it was the best first date I had ever been on.
I knew right away he was different from every other guy. I knew he was someone that I wanted to know everything about. I wanted to hear all his stories, and tell him all of mine. I knew that some day we would get to a point where things would be more serious. I knew that this night would not be our last date, but our first. I knew, deep down in my heart, that something more would come of this first date. I just never knew it would be all that it is today. :) I knew it was the best first date I had ever been on.
The Lord truly blessed me a year ago today. He blessed me with my best friend, and the love of my life. I remember how I thought that night that I knew this would be something special. Every day I am thankful for Dexter, our love, and our friendship. I realize what people have been talking about in movies and songs now. I know what love feels like. Happy Anniversary to my dear Dexter. I love you, and I always will <3

Very sweet! :) I'm so glad you've found someone you love to be with. I hadn't been checking in on other blogs too much lately, so when I decided to see what I missed today, I read your post and it made me smile.
