Best day of my life!

Post by parrothead3282 »

I know that I am mostly a lurker on here but I just needed to tell some like minded people about this. One night being completely bored I went to a dive bar by myself, not really wanting any company. I had recently ended a 4 year relationship that was doomed from the onset. Me and 2 older and drunker gentlemen sat at the bar as 2 attractive younger women came in to shoot some pool. One of the ladies tells the bartender it's her birthday and asks if they do "birthday drinks". The guy apologizes and says no, being a nice guy I offer to buy them drinks for her bday. They thank me and go to play some pool. A few minutes past and I finish my beer, here is where the average guy would go and talk to them maybe beat the ladies in a few games and buy a couple more beers, but not me, I leave.

The next weekend, May 19th 2006 out with my cousin to watch a friend sing at a local bar, then to our usual hang out for pool and a few more cold beers, my life changes forever! Walking in to our bar "Papa Joes", I hear someone yelling "IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!" I turn to find the girl I bought a birthday drink for last weekend has 2 birthdays a year!

"I think I bought you a drink last week for your birthday" I asked her.

She explains that today is her birthday but she didn't think she was going to be able to go out this week because of a wedding the following day that she had to attend. Well being in better spirits and wanting company this time I ask her to play some pool and thankfully she agrees. While playing my clumsiness comes out and I spill her beer and break the glass..ooops! So I buy her next one for her which she proceeds to spill and break the glass no more that 5 minutes after I give it to her.

I could go on and on about this (I have almost 2 and a half years of material) but I'll hit some highlights.

I tell her about my JB obsession and play her my favorite song Tin Cup Chalice. She says she likes JB (but the yellow album is basically all she knows) A few weeks later though she gives me an A-1-A album her father had because she noticed TCC was on there. I have never had someone pay attention like that to me! :D

All the years I have liked JB I never got to go to a concert but I think that's how it was supposed to be now. I had bought 2 tickets for the Noblesville show that year hoping I could talk a buddy into going. But for my first show I got to share it with her!

As we get to know more about each other it is apparent that someone wanted us to meet: Our parents live exactly 1 mile from each other, we were at the same place at the same time multiple time, even places outside of our home town. We had never talked before but 2 weeks in a row we are put face to face with each other. If you believe in a higher power or not both of our families had been praying and praying for us to meet someone that was good for us. And finally we met.

Why have I brought all this up? Why am I asking you to read this? Because on August 30th 2008 I had the best day of my life! No not because OSU beat Youngstown state and Michigan lost to Utah (even though that was nice).

On that date she became Mrs. Parrothead3282!

I want to thank her for putting up with all my B.S. that I have put her through! And I promise to always do my best to treat her like the princess I know she is.

I LOVE YOU BABE!

Thank you for reading this you may now go back to your regularly scheduled lives
