The Friday

So for those that are still reading...

Three years later (actually very close to exactly)...we are still working together and while I am not right now going to tie in the myriad of instances over those three years (we will sprinkle those little gems here and there) that in hindsight we had to just be blind...or just the timing was still not right...

So this Friday we went to lunch, just her and I, at a place we had been before and liked we spent a very long time just chatting...about literally everything and nothing all at the same time...things from work, favorite songs, you name it... yeah we ran the gambit and I cant tell you how much we laughed...

There was for sure innuendo, least enough we both picked up on it...

That entire weekend we emailed back and forth...lots of just chatting and laughing, and there was some real stark realizations for me happening that entire weekend..kind of like waking from a dream....

If Tomorrow Never Comes

And if you thought the last eye roll was big folks (Whiskey helps).....

You all can tell, well I am a bit snarky..yeah she is as well (we can debate later about who is more so lol). Ha in fact no one would have ever considered us the positive couple...or people or whatever... but here we are..full of snark and laughter and a whole lot of love..and that matters...being happy..matters..

But she always should know if anything happens..how much she means to me..she is amazing beyond belief..the most intelligent, deep, sexy, sensual, complex person I have ever known and if anything ever were to happen...she should be happy..and no... no one (even me)..will ever be good enough..but dont hold back..she deserves that...and to see her smile..well folks, if there is a heaven..thats it...

So if Tomorrow Never Comes..love her as she is...she is amazing. Make her smile as much as possible cause you wont see anything close again. and occasionally as a favor to me..let her know that to one Hillbilly she did hang the moon..please just dont let her be lonely long..she deserves more

and yes sweetie as you are reading this and going WTF.....yes too much Whiskey and yes I do believe this.... you will always think you didn't deserve "this"..same as me...

This is our story and as such, you should know how I really feel and that you are my priority in life...dont want you to ever question what you really mean.....

(take note folks....this is how you get "That" look...)

First Things First

So I will go ahead and start here..those that want to judge or whatever can get off the boat early.

Three years is the short amount of time since we first met. I was interviewing her for a position at work (ahhhh there some of you just jumped off the side, hope you brought your water wings)...now the rest of you still reading.

I have been working in the corporate world for over 15 years and interviewed hundreds of people over the course of that time and this is the fastest interview (well that an offer was made) I have eveer conducted. 

The entire thing took minutes and I asked if she wanted to tale a tour...oh I suppose I should mention she had already interviewed with two other departments for two different positions before this so the fact she even showed up in itself is amazing (and yes she has said she was seriously thinking of not accepting the interview).

As soon as she left..I spoke to HR and said I wanted her on the team. While at that time we had our own lives with spouses and children and there was nothing more than this is a very special person that I saw such a fire in (and yes folks when she reads that she will be rolling her eyes).

Now in hindsight I can say that there was some pull that I cant explain other than this person is someone you want to be near in some way...but you know what they say about hindsight.....

First Time For Everything

Where do I begin something like this? I suppose the beginning is the appropriate place...but where exactly is the beginning, not really sure I can pin point that any longer.

So lets start with a simple word "Happy", while it is nothing that I ever really believed I could attain... or maybe a more correct statement, I had put up the facade for so long, and one I believe I was good at looking back I see just how wrong I was.

Maybe there are those out there that will believe what is written here as it has happened to them as well, and to those people all I can say is hopefully it did well before it happened to us.

I think a larger group will try to find all of the "reasons" this is just random events or coincidence, good luck (trust me we both have done that same thing a lot), to you my wish is someday you get to feel "This"......
