I was planning on moving to Colorado maybe forever. I was going out there with another kid. I even helped him fix up his car so it would make the trip. I had impacted wisdom teeth and I wanted to get them out before I left. I had them removed in the hospital and it took a few days before the swelling went down. I called this kid to tell him I was good to go. His mother told me he left without me. I was angry but I was still in town to go to my family's vacation home on Memorial Day. I was cleaning up the yard when a group of 8 or 9 people walk by. My friend was with me and he started talking to them. I just kept working until I noticed a girl wearing cutoff jean shorts and worn out old sneakers. She had the prettiest smile I ever saw. I tried to talk to her but she totally shut me down. Later I went down to the beach and tried again and this time she told me that she just graduated from college and she lived near where I lived. She would not tell me her name because she didn't want anything to do with me. I ended up going to her college library and getting her yearbook. I went through the whole thing until I spotted her picture with that same smile. I got her name and was able to look her up in the phonebook (this was the 80's). She asked me how I tracked her down and I told her. She was actually impressed that I went through all that trouble. I asked her if she would go out with me and she said that she was starting a new job out of state and was leaving the next day. I chalked it up to my crappy luck and forgot about it. A month or so later I ran into her again at the beach and we spent a lot of time together and decided we would try to date each other. A year and a half later we got married.

I was bouncing at a bar, working the front door, and this gal I knew who was a regular came in with another one of her friends, who in turn had her sister with her who had just moved to town from New York that same day. We got introduced as they came in, and there was kind of one of those immediate mutual “oh, HEY….😏” moments between us, and I was just like “oh yeah…. I’m gettin’ this one, no question.” Started laying the groundwork that night, and I was hanging out with her in a week or so. Honestly, we’re a little fuzzy on the exact date we met, but today could very well be the anniversary, she was just shy of her 23rd birthday, and her birthday is in a few days right now. We just decided to call our anniversary of going “official” to be Valentine’s Day, because we both think Valentine’s Day is kind of lame and wanted it to mean more. What we didn’t think through was that every year our anniversary dinner has to involve battling Valentine’s Day crowds, so I usually have to make reservations a month ahead just to be safe, haha.
I am yet to know who is he going to be.
I met my ex in Suzhou, in a restaurant next to the Yangcheng Lake, I was having a lunch break, when he approached me. He told me that’s a love at first sight, he saw me and told himself “This girl will become my girlfriend.”
When I was in 9th grade. He was an 11th grader. I was walking up the steps to get to class. He was going down. He said "Good morning, beautiful."
