So maybe some of you are wondering how Ryan and I met? Some of you probably already know or don't really care to know. Well, too bad, I am going to tell ya anyways!
Ryan and I actually met at the beginning of March in 2009. I was in no way interested in a relationship or even dating anyone at that time. I met him through a mutual group of friends: Lauren, Rob, Mike, and Theo. Mike was having a housewarming get together and we both were there. However, we did not talk much that night. I took one look at him and figured he was a typical arrogant womanizer, and apparently he thought I was out of his league (haha). Turns out we were both wrong. ;)
Over the next few months him and I became friends and hung out nearly every weekend with the gang. It was soon apparent that we both had the same ridiculously childish sense of humor that made most people annoyed. Oh yes, we somehow bonded over the Shamwow. You think I am joking? I will have to post some pictures of Ryan imitating Vince on the Shamwow infomercial. Ummm yeah. We are two very special people. And don't forget the night he baked a cake and then threw it in my face..... no, I am not joking. Oh excuse me, don't forget about the TWO nights he did this. Yes, he put a cake in my face, TWICE! There is nothing like bonding over funfetti toes and frosting up the nose.
It is also important to note the fact that Ryan and I have very different personalities. Yes, we share the same bizarre humor, but he is actually quite shy and more passive. And me on the other hand, well, yeah, I'm the loud, obnoxious one. We definitely balance each other out!
On June 8th, 2009, I finally let this boy take me on a date! We went to Cafe Pranzo in Oklahoma City and shared a bottle of Esmerelda spanish wine. It was a wonderful first date, even though we were both nervous. Even our waiter was just as quirky as us!
That summer was a special time for us. Ryan, Alex, Paul, Jenny, and I went to Las Vegas at the end of June and had a blast. In August I went with Ryan, his sister Allison, her friend Lauren, and Paul to St. Kitts in the Caribbean. This was my first time to go out of the country and I enjoyed every last minute of it. I knew I was falling in love with the boy right around this time. Some may think that is soon, but when you know, you know.
Last year I met his family, who I absolutely adore! Ryan met my family as well (excluding my brother, his wife, and my twin nieces who are in NYC) and they love him to pieces! I think I have met most of Ryan's friends and he has met most of mine. Everyone seems to get along quite nicely. :)
So there ya go, ladies and gents! You got to read the story of how we met and fell in love. I know, cheesy and sappy, but cut me some slack, ok? ;)
I will be sure to post again soon!
