Once Upon a Time
Im sure plenty of you are wondering what is going on with my relationship status with Ramon.
Well, it's true.
Ramon and I met back in 2002 whenever we first started school at Southern University.
We would forever try to see who would arrive on campus first to try and get this one parking spot that was located in front of Mumford.
So one day I was curious and asked him for his name.
So for 4 years we would pass each other on campus say "hi." "How are you doing?" Basically we were cordial with one another...he'd occasionally walk me to college math class or Spanish class whenever I was in T.T. Allain and he wasnt bombarded by hot girls.
Of course...I was currently involved with a long term, long distance relationship @ the time that we first met.
Never really thought much into it. I was the "nerdy unsmart" girl on campus.
Fast forward to April 2010. Julie's birthday.
Julie was having a birthday get together @ Zea's.
I was just getting off of work and was meeting the rest of the group there for dinner.
When I finally got there and sat down at the table, this guy looked at me and just stared at me.
I had no clue who this guy was. He told me that he knew me.
I disagreed. He told me that I used to go to Southern, I agreed.
Told me I used to drive a white Honda Accord, I agreed.
Told me that I used to work at Seafood House, I agreed.
And then he told me that we used to see each other in the parking lot and in T.T. Allain...
That's when it dawned on me who he was.
He looked so different from the last time i saw him. I barely recognized him.
After Julie's birthday, we went our separate ways.
He found me on Facebook in November, we became friends and last month his birthday came up.
I posted on his wall "Happy Birthday!"
A few days later he commented on one of my photos and then I got a message asking me if I would like to go catch a movie.
I regretfully declined the invitation due to my crazy work schedule, but I did manage to give him my number and we made plans to meet @ Chimes that Tuesday, February 22.
Ever since then...we've pretty much hung out and just took our time getting to know each other.
He was a complete gentleman. For 3 nights in a row, we had 3 dates. And the more we hung out with one another the more we saw what we liked. He met Serenity and OUR first date was buffalo wild wings. She took to him like they were old buddies.
Tried to get me to kiss him a few times, but I didn't give n that easy.
After our 4th date, we had our first kiss.
By this point, Ramon had already met my family cause he came with me to pick up mom. We were "dating" but not officially boyfriend/girlfriend.
But March 2, 2011 that changed everything.
I got into an accident and totaled my car.
He was at work and I called to let him know what had happened. He asked if I was okay and I explained to him that I was fine. Just a bit shaken up from the accident.
He left work and stayed with me the ENTIRE day after the accident.
And ever since that day, I realized that he is the first guy ever to do what I have been searching for: instead of just letting me know he cares by words...he showed me with his actions.
It's only been a few weeks, but its one of those feelings where what you were searching for was right there in front of you. And for Ramon and I, we found each other.
No more kissing frogs for me. I've finally found my Prince Charming...Or rather my Tuxedo Mask...
Either way it goes...Serenity and I are getting our happily ever after.
Ramon,
I thought that just having Serenity a part of my life would complete me if her father and I did not work out. And it's true. That part of my life is complete...and then you came along and I realized that there was a whole another part of my life that was completely empty. You have filled that void in more ways than one. I cant even begin to tell you how happier I am that you are a part of our lives. Especially mine. You will have no idea how much more happiness you've brought into our lives and for that I can never ever thank you enough.
Love you.
Definition of more happiness in my life :)
