our story :)

 The past couple of days I've been thinking a lot about how lucky and blessed I am. I am soooo grateful to have Jamie in mine and my kids' lives. He does so much for us and has welcomed us into his life with open arms. I haven't talked about him much on my blog because with any relationship I've blogged about, it's like I jinx myself. Call me superstitious I guess. I figured I better write some things I want to remember. 
Jamie and I met *cough-cough* on-line *cough-cough* last summer 2009. I messaged him first because he was hot. :) So we started emailing a little bit, then texting all day 24-7. After a few days he asked me when  he would get to hear my voice and talk to me on the phone. Well, for those that know me, know I hate to talk on the phone. He scored major points though because my mom has always said any guy that doesn't talk to you on the phone is a loser. She thinks texting is laziness and that the man isn't interested in you. Well after lots of experience with losers, I couldn't agree with her more! I kind of avoided the question for a few days and then finally said it was okay to call. He called within a minute of me texting him the okay. :) The second I heard his voice I was sucked in. I think he has such a hot voice. He didn't talk all ghetto like some black guys do (you KNOW what I'm talking about). We talked on the phone for a couple of hours that night and then made plans for a date later that week. My brother babysat for my kids and I drove up to Draper to meet him. I didn't want him coming to my house just in case I didn't like him so I offered to meet him half way, even though he offered to come pick me up. (more points for him!) We met in the parking lot of Cafe Rio in Draper. I got in his car and had my sunglasses on and was feeling sooo shy. He looked soooo hot. His smile was amazing. He always tells me at first he didn't think I was into him because I wouldn't look at him. I was so shy. Then we started talking and I got more and more comfortable. I took off my sunglasses and he said he was blown away by my big, pretty eyes. We had an instant connection. We had a little joke that we talked about previously on the phone that I wasn't chicken to make the first move on a guy so he of course brought it up in the car as we were driving to The Pie downtown. (pizza! more points for him!) I totally leaned in and kissed him to make sure he knew I was interested. :) Then after that we were joined at the hip the rest of the date. We had a really good time talking and chatting and kissing at the Pie. After that we drove around the Avenues and talked some more then I had to go home. It was a great night and I left there feeling like he was a keeper. We dated for a few weeks and then I decided I just wasn't ready to be serious with him. I felt like he had way too many girlfriends and was too much of a bachelor for me. So I dumped him and broke his heart. :( We stayed in touch (through text messages) about football and just random catching up here and there. Then in February of this year I went to visit him and saw him for the first time since August. I was going through a lot of things with AJ and couldn't figure out what to do. And he listened to me and let me cry to him and just talked to me like he was my best friend. He gave me some good, unbiased advice and ever since then I was really hooked. I had a couple dates after that with another guy and I just didn't feel the connection and was bored and missed Jamie. So I called Jamie that night on my way home from the date and left him a voice mail (that he still has) saying I wanted to see him and missed him. Blah blah, it was sooo cheesy. But he saved it and he loved it, so that's okay. :) Since March we have been inseparable. He has been my best friend and the best boyfriend ever. We have an incredible connection and I love it. We understand each other, give each other space, and have amazing chemistry. It's awesome and I love it. I'm soo happy that Jamie is in my life. I love you babe!!!
