Lindsay

We met in a bar.   We tell that to people when we are trying to elicit a response. Seriously though, we met at a sports bar that I (Christian) used to frequent with my friends. I always wanted Lindsay as my server. She was great. Lindsay was attentive, moved quickly around the restaurant, treated my friends well, AND it didn't hurt she was by far the best looking server. I overtipped her frequently. She thought I was flirting, but it turns out, I'm terrible at math. One week, I did not come to the trivia night, but as I'm wiriting this, I cannot remember why. One of my best friends, Cory, also did not show up on time as well. Lindsay asked a good friend of mine, Joey, where "the cute one was?" Joey informed her that he would be at the bar shortly. When Cory arrived, Lindsay revealed to the group that the "cute one" still had not come. Joey and several of my friends were taken aback that she was referring to me, as Cory is, let's face it, a handsome devil. Later that evening, I signed onto Facebook and found that I had a pending friend request. I didn't recognize the name, "Lindsay Carleo", but I knew the face. The gorgeous, blonde waitress from the sports bar found me on Facebook. We messaged, flirted, and several weeks passed. One evening, after she had waited long enough, she messaged me that we should "hang out." Several days later we went on our very first date. We have been together over a year now. I know that some may think we have not been together long enough, but with Lindsay, I knew after only a handful of evenings with her, that she was special and it did not take much time to fall in love. There isn't a person in the world I want to make happier and take care of more than Lindsay. And I know she feels the same. We have both been down long, broken and dark roads to get to this relationship. Life has not been what we expected, but what ever really is? If you want guarantees, you buy a Dyson. We love each other. We are dedicated to each other. And we are dedicated to the higher idea that binds us. Our story still has much to be written. I cannot think of anyone else I would rather have my name, heart and, more importantly, my life. On August the 25th of 2012, we finish our lengthy prologue and start our very first chapter.
