Then there was two.

Ever know you just wanted to be alone? I mean no dating, no one to talk to, just alone. I was like that a little more than two years ago. That was me, the day I moved to Omaha. I moved to be near my mom, where I knew I could just heal. I knew I could just be, but not be forgotten.

Then I met Adam. Ok I chatted with him, then he became a pretty good friend. We would chat for hours. He asked me out on numerous occassions over the month and a half that we talked before I accepted a date.

Our first date was very nice. I knew I wanted to see him again, but wasnt sure I wanted another boyfriend so very soon. So I kind of kept him at an arms length. We went out for the first time in April, then I didnt see him again until the end of May. Though we did talk every single night up until that point. He would ask me if he had done something wrong that I didnt want to see him again.

Finally I realized I wasnt going to get hurt if I never put myself back out there and even worse I would definantly never find anything worth having if I didnt allow myself to feel anything. So I asked him out on a second date. This time we stayed out and talked for hours. I dont think I came home until 0600 the next morning. Seriously we didnt even kiss that night. We just sat around and talked and watched movies. It was fun.

After that night we were pretty much joined to the hip. We would hang out just about every night and on my days off. If we didnt have anything to do, we would just drive around. We had a whole lot of fun. Then my sister and brother, Hope and Matt, moved to Omaha. Hope wasnt here long cause she joined the Airforce. But the house was pretty crowded and I decided to get an apartment.

So In August my friend Jessica and I got our apartment. Adam would stay most of the night then either go to his sisters or home. Usually only to call in the early morning hours to see if he could come back. Eventually I just gave him a key since Jess liked having him around. I mean who wouldnt, he was a good cook, quiet and nice. If he wasnt there Jess would ask when he was gonna be home, as if he was on the lease with the two of us. So the three of us lived in the little apartment for a year.

Then after that year was up we moved in to his apartment, then we bought our house in December. Its like I was this single, miserable person then there was Adam. Now Im a happy girl who has accomplished so many things just by the little bit of encouragement that he has provided me with. I never in a million years would have thought that I would eventually own a home. Especially not one that is this nice, and we own a pretty average house. I moved around just enough as a child that I never thought it would happen. Then I got a loser boyfriend and didnt go back to school after high school like i should have. Then I got my wonderful Adam, and he encouraged me to go back to school and here I am two years from graduation!

I read a blog earlier that asked if you believed in soul mates. My reaction to that question really always has been no. I may not have a soul mate but I do have partner in life and all that it may bring, even though we are not married and really have no plans for it. We just live for the every day and hope for the best. At the end of the day, even if we are mad at each other, we are happy with each other and thats all I need to know.
