I met my FH at a church Halloween party in October 2005. I had just moved to Nashville, the summer before my senior year of high school, and was fairly miserable. A new friend, Kat, invited me to her church's Halloween party, so I dressed up as a psychotic cheerleader and off I went. We decided to go on the hayride, and as we drove through the fields, two guys dressed as vampires suddenly leaped out of the darkness and onto the tractor trailer. Needless to say, I screamed in outright terror. I later found out they were really Michael and Patrick.
I didn't see much of Patrick over the next year, usually when I visited his church with Kat or when he came to see my high school's theater productions (I was in three). I saw one of the plays he was in as well; he played a hick named Boxwood who was obsessed with wood. So, as we could never remember each other's names, I called him "the guy who played the guy obsessed with wood."
We really started to get to know each other during college- we both ended up at Lipscomb University. That's when I started to develop a crush on him, even though he didn't realize it. We kept hanging out, and just when I thought that there was a possibility of us getting together, I was chosen for the Disney College Program- I would be gone for five months. So I didn't tell him anything, I just asked him to write, and he agreed. We talked a lot...*cough* a lot and he sent me a really sweet birthday present on my birthday, which is Valentine's Day. Almost a month later, on March 13, he told me he liked me, and we started dating.
There's more to the story, but right now I am very tired, and the computer lab is very hot...:irked: See you later!
