Today is the boyfriends birthday! He is 23 years old. It amazes me to think that the first birthday I spent with him, he was turning 18 years old. When we first started dating nobody approved and nobody thought it would last. My mother was even weary of us dating, she knew him for about two years before we dated and she knew how he used to be (a player). I admit, I was scared at first to, but I had hope. I saw a completely different side of him the night we started dating. We were all at a friends house hanging out and he was talking to my "best friend" at the time. He told her, "I have never felt like this before about a girl, especially a girl I haven't even kissed before. She's my best friend and I think I'm in love her." That was October 11 2002. Too bad we both have to work today, but hey, that's life. I'll come home and make him his favorite food, steak and potatoes!
