Your moment of nausea--I mean zen

batskeetsHeh, so yesterday wasn't entirely dissimilar to how it was a year prior. On that day in 2010, I went on my first date with Joe, which involved doing karaoke with some folks while wearing a fairly hideous Christmas-themed sweater. Last night, we ended it doing the same thing, albeit at a different place.
What's adorable is that last night Joe signed up to sing Amish Paradise, and then got me up there to team-sing it with him, which he'd also done on our first date. He told me on our way home from the Ugly Sweater Party last night that he'd remembered team-singing that song, and he also remembered what song was being caterwauled off-key in the background during our first kiss ("I Ran"), and that he actually sort-of-likes A Flock of Seagulls now because of that.
Last night was different (and better), though, because we also got to hang out and have good laughs with dear friends of mine, and dear friends of his, over the course of the evening. It's affirming and generally awesome that we mesh with each others' friend groups so well. And, at the end of the night, we fell asleep together, feeling lucky to have had each other in our lives for the past year, and enthusiastic about the year to come.
So, yeah, it's been a pretty good year. We're fortunate to have found each other, and to have such fantastic people around us.

Date: 2011-12-20 06:15 pm (UTC)I'm REALLY very happy for the both of you, Sarah. You guys are awesomely epic together, and, as a friend, it does my heart wonders to see you in such a better place than where you were just a short time before meeting Joe. I have seen the two of you together, and...again,, it's EPIC and overwhelmingly cute.
So, congrats, here's to many more good times for the two of you; I hope the best for the two of you!
Much luv to both of you!
