3 Years and Counting

This week marks three years since Gavin and I met. I remember it pretty well. I went up to Logan to visit Ranelle for the weekend. She was going out with a guy named Stan and didn't want to ditch me, so she set me up with Stan's roommate, Gavin. It was actually a Sunday, and we went to church first, and the dinner afterward was the so-called 'date'. Therefore, the first time I saw Gavin was in a suit, and I was impressed. I was immediately attracted to him. He looked sophistocated. He seemed very intelligent, but also shy-- he said very little, at least to me. What I didn't know was that he was a little impressed with me too, and that shut him up pretty good. Ranelle had made the mistake of telling me that she was setting me up with a nice guy who was "short, like you", so I thought he was going to be another one of those dorky guys with short-man syndrome. I was wrong about that. We had dinner and played Wii bowling. I had never seen a Wii, so it was pretty cool. After dinner we sat around and talked for awhile. A week later we started getting to know each other on a more one-on-one level. A month later we were dating. Three years later, here we are, a happily married couple. Thinking back, it's funny to think about how when we first saw each other, we had no idea we were looking at our match.
