Blogging from A to Z Challenge Day 2: "B" (Woops... This one's a day late.)
"My Shoes are Dirty Because I Have a Boyfriend!" I said to my friend Brittney. I had to share the news somehow, and in that moment that seemed like the best way to announce it—saying, "Guess what! I have a boyfriend!" is fun, but I prefer to mix it up..
The gent's name is Richard. On the aforementioned day my shoes really were dirty, and it was partially due to him. I'm a photography dork and a child at heart, so earlier we wandered to the Virginia Tech Duck Pond to feed the ducks and play with my camera. He lured them closer to my lens, and I chased them away with my clicking... and then we repeated. It was good fun; though, I must admit very few of my pictures turned out well... And my absolutely adorable TOMS were smeared with mud. It was worth it. Richard won points when he boosted me and my camera up into an EPIC tree and then followed! He even let me take pictures of him! If the ability to go on a photo adventure with me was really a test, he definitely passed it. (For the record: there are no tests or point systems actually being given!) My shoes are still a mess, and he is still awesome.
We've been going to the same church for years and never met till this past summer. My first memory of him was at swing dancing. Our dear friend Kristen made a habit in my earlier days of dancing to find me partners. I had just finished dancing with someone and walked up to her to chat. She grabs my hand, and the next thing I know she's placing it in the hand of some stranger. He seemed as shocked as I did. I introduced myself, to which he responded: "I know, you're on the dance team at my church." He began to question me about what swing moves I knew. I told him I didn't know what I knew, but that I just knew I could follow. His response: "Good, then I just try all of the hard moves, and we'll see what happens." It was so much fun! He instantly became one of my favorite dance partners.
My first day at my new job we had our first "date." He made me peanut butter, pickle, and mayo sandwiches and brought them to my office. (I swear they are actually really good when made the correct way!!) We've been hanging out now since the end of January. I'm kinda-really a fan of this guy! I'm sure there will be more tales to come.. stay tuned! (Pictures and all that other cute stuff to come eventually...)
