The Tall and Short of US

The Story April 26th: At the beginning of the semester, I put together a potluck BBQ as a welcoming activity for the new kids moving in. We had a really good turnout and I loved watching the new friendships develop. At some point, someone asked me if I was from Georgia. Thomas overheard and called out that he was from Georgia, too. There were already a couple of us Southerners here at the 'Ridge, so it was exciting to have a new Georgian friend. Little did I know... ;) April 28th: I attended a movie gathering at Thomas' apartment. He does not have any recollection of my presence...at all. What a silly boy! I brought some candy and treats to the party, and he remembered  that.  Haha May 16th: Time went on and Thomas and I crossed paths here and there. Every night (or almost every night), he would chat with me on Facebook. He would always have something  funny  to say: "I'm pretty sure Facebook isn't helping you accomplish homework." May 18t...

Well I suppose it's about time that I share my side of the story...which basically mimics Jenny's side...with some different perspectives and some additions. :) I think I'll begin from when we first decided to be married. We had discussed marriage and were tentatively planning a December engagement and a wedding in April. Well Jenny's mom came to town and after I wooed her during our breakfasts together while Jenny was at work, her mom suggested getting married in December. Jenny was extremely comforted to know that her mom was behind the idea, and the next day we talked and decided that we were going to get married. That meant that I was going to have to propose. I've often joked with my friends about starting a proposal business (I've always been able to come up with wonderful proposal ideas, and I thought about offering my services to others...essentially I would go on a double date with the guy looking to propose, ask him and her casual questions on the ...

Today was an exciting day! I woke up this morning very refreshed and excited and a bit hyper, for no reason. Little did I know that today was going to be one of the most exciting days of my life! So far... Thomas picked me up this morning to go to breakfast at Chick-Fil-A before work. We had to hurry there before they ended breakfast so we literally ran  into the mall to catch the last few minutes of breakfast :) We got to work a little early so we sat in the car and chatted for a bit. Mostly mushy "I love you" stuff, of course. I was still in a very good mood for no apparent reason.   Before I had to go inside, Thomas started giggling. I asked him why, and he told me I would find out soon. I didn't like that at all. I mean, I really  didn't like it. I got frustrated and nagged him for a few minutes. He finally broke down and said "There's something for you inside." My impatience and nagging immediately ceased and I felt silly! Poor guy just wanted...
