Well, 1 year down…sooo many to go. 1 year truly feels like 20. November 3rd is the day we met.
And here is our story:
I received a last-minute invite from my good friend Lola to go out to dinner with her and some coworkers. I’ve been to AJ Bombers before. The grilled cheese sandwich there is my jam. Naturally I went. Little did I know that the bartender would bait me with custard and steal my heart.
This picture is from the first day we met. 11/3/15. Jeisson took me behind the bar so I could try out the peanut launchers. At AJ Bombers, you push these bombs that hit a wall and peanuts fall into a bowl on a table for customers. Then he proceeded to give my girlfriend and I free custard. Thank you Lola for documenting this.
I guess after that its history. I went back, we exchanged numbers, and there’s that!
Anyone who knows me personally knew that I never wanted to settle down or have kids. Today, everyone reminds me of that person and we laugh at who I am today. I never really believed in true love. I was technically single for yeaaaaars before I met Jeisson. Dated here and there but I knew deep down, I didn’t meet the one yet. Even though I didn’t believe in “the one” and blah blah. What does real love feel like? What is everyone talking about because frankly it drove me nuts.
Well, now I am one of those people who tell others that when you know…you know.
This love is easy. Natural. Fun.
We are not perfect. It didn’t start off all magical and stuff. We’ve been apart (distance wise), faced rough times, and of course argued about my shopping habits. But for some reason, I just know…
I know I know….mushy love stuff
This is the man behind the camera in 90% of the blog pictures you see on here. He supports me when I sit on Instagram for hours straight but enjoys the ice cream samples we get when I do collabs. He has this weird ability to just make me a better person and I couldn’t be happier to share our love with you all.
I wish everyone knew what this felt like. After years of dating the wrong people, getting my heart broken and losing all faith in love…to finally find it. It’s all worth it.
This is us lol
I like to be vulnerable with you guys and given that he’s my other half…besides my puppy…I wanted to share what I’ll be celebrating on this fine Thursday.
We’re almost to the weekend and I have a great weekend outfit for you!! Stay tuned! XX
