Falling in Love: The story of how I met my husband Part 1

It was the end of 2008. I had just moved to Texas from Arizona. I was staying with my cousin in her house in which we agreed I could stay in until I found a job and got enough money to find a place on my own.

So a couple of months after I moved. I met Josh on MySpace. I don't remember how we became friends on there. But i'm pretty sure that he added me first. So let's just go with that. Anyways, we started talking a little bit. I had already met a guy but it was a bust because he wasn't looking for anything serious. I was. I really wanted to come to Texas and start over.

In Arizona, I had my fair share of dating and relationship with guys. Some were just silly little flings and then very few were actually relationships. I really tried but it seemed like Tucson was just too small a city. Seriously. It was like everyone knew everyone. Which I disliked a lot. I wanted someone whom wasn't with anyone else that I knew. Or cheated on me with one of my friends. So that was a fraction of the reason I moved to Texas as well.

I still had some guys numbers that I would occasionally talk to. Mostly if I felt lonely and/or horny I did. But I always felt guilty after talking/texting/webcamming with them. I know, it's trashy but I didn't know anyone in Texas and I hadn't had sex in literally 2 years so I did everything I could to keep me sexually satisfied.

Josh and I started exchanging messages on MySpace for a couple of weeks. He would flirt with my by posting inappropriate song lyrics as subjects of messages we were sending to each other, and I didn't know that they were songs so I just said some inappropriate things back! That was our way of flirting with each other I guess.

So maybe I want to say 2 months pass by and we are still talking on MySpace. We exchanged numbers but he didn't have a cell phone so he would use his moms to text me and his house phone to call.

I remember that I was really nervous when I first talked to him, although I tried to play it off cool. It was really nice hearing his voice. We talked all night and fell asleep on the phone to each other. I really started connecting with this guy and I felt like he was connecting with me. It was really nice.

Then one day, it was Easter of 2009. I had just gotten home from our Filipino-American get together Easter party whatever thing at the park and, of course, Josh and I were texting. He then texts me that he wants some candy. I tell him I don't know any but he tells me that it was just an excuse for him to tell me that he wanted me to come over.

I was so ecstatic at this, yet extremely nervous. I was scared to actually meet him face-to-face. So I put some candy in my pocket and left to ge see him. I really wanted to take that chance...

Day 3 - Your idea of your perfect first date.

Hello everyone! How are you? I'm doing pretty good. I am sitting here watching the first Yu-Gi-oh! movie. It's so good. I might have to watch the rest of these shows again. Anyways, the third day is to tell everyone what my idea of the perfect first date is....

Well, I already had an amazing amazing first date so I won't go into my idea for my perfect first date. My first date with my husband. It was about a year ago. The week after we got together we went to the Italian Inn. It's this really cute spot at 6323 Camp Bowie Blvd # 123, Fort Worth, TX 76116, you can visit the website at theitalianinn.com. Josh and I absolutely loved this place. The food was great and not too expensive and you can request for your waiter/tress to sing! They are actually all very good singers also so it's a great perk to the place. But the thing that really gets us going is that you can sit in booths that close and you can write all over the walls. So bring your markers and paper because with the very underground and intimate atmosphere, you'll want to write love letters all over the place. I wonder if the love letters we wrote to each other are still displayed under the table glass?

Having that dinner really sealed the deal with us. It was so romantic and lovely, the waitress was amazing, and we talked about our future together and ate amazing food. We most definitely need to go again soon, maybe for our anniversary to remind us of how we fell in love and go back to where it first started.
