We met through a mutual friend. I had just gone through a really messy breakup and had very little interest in getting to know another guy at the time, but I called Andrew just to pacify our friend. Initially it seemed as if we had nothing in common. We had different tastes in politics, music, movies... everything. But our curiosity in each other led to a wonderful friendship and the discovery that beneath all the superficial surfaces we had so much more in common than we thought. Soon we found ourselves talking on the phone almost every night for hours and hours. I wasn't eager to rush into anything serious, although I felt this ridiculously intense desire to be around him. We maintained a close friendship but both dated other people, dismissing our chemistry for years & insisting to others that we were "just best friends." After years of this nonsense, Andrew went to Chicago for a week and I missed him more than I cared to admit. We had begun to discuss the possibility of an "us" but we both knew that if we decided to date it would change our lives as we knew it. The timing had always seemed wrong but something had begun to change and  the possibility of being romantically involved with my best friend, wasn't so "weird" anymore.  I had become super close with the Andrew's family during the years the two of us had been friends so I went with his mom to pick him up from the bus station, and as soon as he stepped off the bus I knew, at that moment, that he was THE ONE. & most importantly- I was done denying it. I had to have him. & to make it easy, the feeling was mutual. :-) We began to go on "dates" but didn't make it official until April, when Andrew finally, officially asked me to be his girlfriend (under the stars on a trampoline, in case you were wondering.) & we've been together ever since. The years we've had together have been the most wonderful, beautiful years together and NOW we're SO ready to begin the next phase of our life together as husband and wife!
