Back Story time :)
A year ago Eric was prepared to take a trip to California. We hadn't been dating long, but we knew something might come of it. Before Eric and I kinda had a DTR and i told him that i didn't want to be in a serious relationship for at least a year.
And then he left. He called me, don't get me wrong i loved the fact that he called me! But it wasn't the same. He left on a wednesday and was coming back on a sunday! i was so excited for him to come home. We would talk on the phone till i fell asleep. it was so sweet! i couldn't believe how much i loved him in so little of time.
So how did i know i loved him? Well Eric left and we would text and call, and i realized that he didn't have any ties to utah. If he wanted to leave and go back to Oregon he could and i would just be left here with these feelings that honestly he didn't know about! But i didn't want to scare him off at the same time. i didn't exactly know what Eric wanted. He texted me when he was close to home so i could come over :)
The hug he gave me when he returned was amazing! i loved where i was and i couldn't be any happier. We decided to go on a walk, i didn't know how to bring up another DTR when Eric and i had just had one less than a week ago. Our walk was so much fun, we played at a school and just had fun but would have quite a few serious moments. We were walking around a church when Eric pulled me into his arms. I remember looking up at him and thinking "this would be the perfect moment to kiss him" but i also knew that Eric's rule was he didn't want to kiss a girl unless he was in a relationship with her. It was so hard but i knew at that moment when i could read in his face that he wanted to kiss me that he wanted a relationship. In fact he wanted to kiss me and was trying hard not to kiss me.
We got back to his house and settled in for a movie (if i remember right it was the big bang theory) and i told him that things had changed and when he figured it out to let me know. That is when he turned to me and asked "Do we need to have a DTR?" After that he asked me to be his girlfriend. and i said yes. i was so excited and couldn't believe how wonderful my life had just become.
Ready to finally seal the deal with a kiss Eric went in for the kiss. He got close and pulled away and told me it wasn't romantic enough. About 20 minutes later i guess he couldn't take it anymore before he pulled me into his arms and kissed me for the first time. It was amazing, and continues to be amazing! I love kissing him and wouldn't change anything that has happened.
As i look back on last year i think about where my life was when i had met Eric. We both had gotten out of serious relationships, before we really started to get to know each other.
First camping trip :)
I sure do love my wonderful husband :)
