Jose and I met over 10 years ago. I was living in Lawrence attending the University of Kansas and working at a retail store part-time. He worked at the store next door and would occasionally come in to buy sodas. I had a pretty mighty crush on the guy. We would flirt a bit whenever he came in and eventually he asked if I would like to come see his band play. I love music, especially local, and was all about it.
The two of us 10 years ago.
From there, we hit it off. I was crazy about him. He made me laugh and continues to, like no one else ever has or does. I'm incredibly attracted to him. The chemistry is palpable. We dated for a few months and while things never sizzled out, sometimes things just don't work out with young people. He started dating another and I moved to Arizona-we went our separate ways. I thought about him throughout the years. Eventually, some months ago, I decided to reach out to him via the internet. We immediately reconnected and it was it as if time stood still in that we pretty much picked up exactly where we left off. We are now crazy in love.

Did I plan on falling in love with someone 1,000 miles away? I did not. Love is like that, I suppose. I am sooooo glad I did though. He is truly wonderful and wonderful to me. I've never loved someone the way I love Jose. And I've never felt as loved by someone as I do him. While I am writing this blog about our love, there really are no words to describe just how intense our love is. He makes me swoon in every way. We want to share and spend our lives together-happily ever after.
This time, I even got an added perk, his son, Judah. I sometimes like to tease Jose that I'm only seeing him to become closer to Judah. The kid is maybe the sweetest little boy I've ever met. He's also super rad. I love Jose's mini-me.

I can't express how thrilled I am about us growing together in the years to come. I've dated my share of creeps and I am proud to say my babe is not one of them. This one's a keeper. I suppose there's some truth to the saying, "You've got to kiss a lot of frogs, before you find your prince." There is no doubt about it, Jose is that prince.

I love this post! A couple months ago my ex and I got back together and I can easily say he is my high school sweetheart and the love of my life! Over spring break, he came to Arizona to visit for 10 days and I literally can't explain how fast that time went by!! Like seriously 10 days of hanging out and doing fun activities, but when it comes to school and work..sometimes 10 days feels like death. We dated for over 2 years previously, most of which are long distance, and these last few months will be do. I am so thankful to be graduating college a year early so I can return back home to Seattle and we can finally start our relationship a proper way. Sometimes I think about if I wasn't graduating early what I would do...I am seriously so homesick that its indescribable. I can definitely relate to your post!! :)
