Tonight is New Year's Eve :) Mr. E and I have BIG plans.....watching a movie and drinking champagne as the ball drops. What do you expect with a toddler at home??? Plus tonight is our SEVEN year anniversary of when we met :) So we like to spend a little alone time together to remember our meeting. I only think it's appropriate to tell the interesting tale here :)
****FLASHBACK****
Back 7 years ago, I was a young single woman who enjoyed to have a good time with her friends. I lived my my best friend T. Every NYE we always went downtown to our favorite bar with our friends and the masses. We always flirted hard and enjoyed the attention:)
This year was going to be no different. We had a group of 10 people that took a cab downtown after being locked out of our house and me having to shimmy through the tiniest window opening ( a whole other story). So I was a little hesitant as to what the evening had in store for us. We arrive at our favorite bar and start dancing and drinking and having a great time with our friends.
Well T and I are minglers and we always chatted it up with guys in hopes of getting a free beer :) Hey I was a poor teacher ;) It was around 11 when I see T talking with the cute, but dorky guy. She motioned me over. I said hey and T was telling me how cute his goatee was. When suddenly a guy T was seeing came over and swept her away. I was stuck with dorky guy. I kinda felt bad for him because he was alone or so I thought. I thought to myself..hmm maybe I'll hook him up with one of my friends who is more interested in finding a boyfriend. Guy however, introduces himself as Mr.E :) I start asking questions about why was he alone on NYE...was he a scary stalker guy??? He wasn't and introduced me to his brother and girlfriend (who are now married). They were oddly dressed in glow sticks and hats and other obnoxious things I wouldn't wear at the time. We continue to talk, but I'm getting anxious to get back to my friends. I wasn't looking for a date. I tried to pawn him off on a friend, but Mr. E wasn't having it and continued to vi for my attention. Finally to get rid of him I said, if you aren't kissing anyone at midnight, you owe me a beer. I thought score free beer, he's too dorky to kiss a girl;) So I leave. Midnight rolls around and I look over at him and sure enough no girls. He motions to get a beer :) I retrieve it. Mr. E continues to talk to me and tries to get my number.....no no I don't give my number out to strangers. I take my beer and go back to my friends.
Well 2 more times during the evening Mr. E continues to ask for my number. Finally at 3 as the bar was closing, I gave it to him probably because of all the alcohol :) He called a few days later and I was busy, but he was persistent and continued until we had our first date a week later. The rest is history ;) We have been inseparable ever since. And people say you can't meet nice guys in bars :)
I am glad that he decided to go out with his brother and be so persistent! He has made the last seven years wonderful and fulfilling. I look forward to at least seven more with him;o)
Have a great NYE everyone! Enjoy the night with your loved ones and be safe!! Don't forget to make resolutions. I'll be posting mine soon ;)
