365 Days and counting...

It amazes me that a year ago (yesterday) Drew and I went out to dinner for the first time -- just a casual dinner at O'Charlies and a viewing of Bedtime Stories at the cheap movie theatre nearby. I remember being so nervous and so uncertain, about the night, at the same time. Was it a date...or just two "friends" getting dinner. Mind you, we ran into each other that January at a holiday party - one of which neither one of us had any intention of going to - talked through Facebook and eventually a a couple phone calls while he was finishing up in Texas. Now, 365 days later, we are still getting dinner, seeing movies and enjoying each other's company. And, apparently, thinking alike. I decided I wanted to do something fun for the occasion so I created a handful of clues and laid them around his house in little Easter eggs. The clues led him to a gift hidden under his bed. However, before I could do all that he announced he had a surprise for me (not realizing what the day was either). He said it was a gift that I would keep at his house, and we could enjoy together. I closed my eyes and he put in front of me the Wii game Deer Drive. Now, let's be honest, the game was a gift for himself, but was something we could play together. However, the irony behind the surprise was that the gift I planned on hiding under his bed...you guessed it, the EXACT same Wii game. I couldn't believe it. I knew he wanted the game, but all he had to do was wait ONE day. I had purchased the gift days before and he had to spontaneously go out and buy it that day. We got a good laugh out of it.
