Love is in the air

G & I have never been big on valentine's day celebrations....oh who am I kidding. We have always celebrated! He would even drive down to San Diego no matter what day of the week it fell on just to bring me flowers and take me to diner. *swoon* But once we got married we stopped making such a big deal. i.e. no plans for tomorrow. We'll see what happens.

My friend Diana had this cool survey on her blog. I'm bored at work so I'll fill it out.

1. Where/how did you meet?

G & I met in high school. Freshman year we had English and History together. I actually didn't care for him when I met him. I later found out he was in love with me. I eventually got to know him better and started liking him. He apparently was over me. :( Sadness. I know. It wasn't till the beginning of our Sophmore year that my BFF at the time set us up. We started hanging out at lunch every day. One November day, at lunch, he asked me to be his girlfriend. I said I would think about it. LOL. I got so much shit from my friends for saying that. So during our last period I was going to Tennis practice and he was going to Soccer practice and I yelled out his name, he turned around, and I said, "Yes!" He immediately knew what I meant and ran over to hug me. Cheesey!
