Bumper Cars

Two years ago tonight, David and I had our first date together. We met at a sports bar and watched the baseball postseason, I think it was the Rays game, and there was a lot of beer and fried food involved. It was the best first date I have ever been on.

In honor of this fact I'd just like to talk a little bit to mention our relationship dynamic; aside from the fact that he can always make me smile - even (especially) when I don't want to, I know that I can come to him with any concerns I have about the future (or the present, or the past, because let's face it - I have a lot of concerns!)

Here is a brief example of what I am talking about - some of our conversation from our IM chat tonight. I was watching an episode of Monk, the one from the first season where he and Sharona and Benjy visit the carnival.

Libby: I need to make a bargain with you
David: Okay - what kind?
Libby: When we have a family and we have kids and we take them to a theme park, I will take them on the roller coasters and YOU can take them on the bumper cars
Libby: Because I refuse to be a part of any ride where children experience joy from breaking traffic laws
David: Hahahaha
David: Yeah, I can do that



You see? He has long since accepted the fact that A) I'm crazy and B) I am especially crazy about traffic laws and C) There are some acitivities I absolutely refuse to participate in, such as bumper cars.
That's not to say that I won't try new things - someday you should ask him about the time I went in Go Karts for him. That was still pretty early in our relationship and I still remember my dad saying, when he found out where we were going, "Wow you must be really serious about him" - because let's face it, that is so not my thing.


Our actual 2 year anniversary - when we decided to become exclusive and serious and all that - is two weeks from tonight, and unfortunately since I am away at school we are unable to spend tonight or October 25 together - thankfully, though, I think we're gonna have a whole lot more of them to share with each other.
