...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 almost cried and smiled at the same time.

Awwwww. Very sweet.
My goodness, how amazing! I think the lawyer is going to have his own fan club soon:-)
Oh, isn't he sweet!
*melt* so sweet! :)
ok, that's the sweetest thing ever. SO glad y'all are happy!
Oh that Lawyer... how sweet of him!
aaaaw!
I'm totally in love with the lawyer and I don't even know him. :) Congratulations! I'm so happy for you, Red!
Holy cow...I can't believe it's been a year since he sent that! Very sweet :) Hearing about you two always makes me happy.
Reread the original post from last year. Love it :)
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?!"
so sweet! So glad you've found a keeper :)
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.

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!
