One Year Ago Today...

...I got a connection request from a DC lawyer on LinkedIn.

I didn't recognize his name, and I definitely didn't recognize his picture.  Yet, his message--"Doctor school, nice."--suggested that we somehow knew each other.  But, from where?  College?  Post-bacc program? Working?

Oh, no.

This man was the one who rode my bus in high school, played violin in the orchestra, and was a year ahead of me in school.

This same man is the also the one who let himself into my apartment tonight, leaving a cupcake and card on my kitchen counter.  When I walked in and saw a light on, I immediately called his name.  Realizing he wasn't there, I chastised myself for being stupid enough to leave lights on when I left this morning--some 15 hours earlier.

Then, I saw the card.



I called and was all, "The 2nd year?! WTF! Did I forget our anniversary!"

"No, it's not our anniversary," he replied. "It's the day that I sent you that first message."

I know, you guys. This lawyer with his romance! I bet he's just doing it for the blog fame too (kidding). :)

Side note: Why do romantic guys always end up with doofus girls like me who are like, "Wait, what day is it again? Crap, did I forget your birthday?!"

This is so damn cute i'm gonna explode. I love you two.

I suspect The Lawyer woke thinking,

"I wanna love you, I want to love and treat you right;
I wanna love you every day and every night:
We’ll be together, with a roof over our heads;
To share the shelter in a single bed;
Is this love - is this love - is this love -
Is this love that I’m feelin’?"

Indeed Lawyer dude, it is.

Put. A. Ring. On. That.

Red Stethoscope said...

thingsptssay- HA! He's definitely got boy parts, but it's amazing how we react to getting burned in past relationships. As it turns out, I apparently only have to act halfway decent to seem like a saint!

JustAnotherDrsWife- You are so sweet!!! I am going to check it out now!
