Three years ago today

was a Saturday.

It was a gorgeous day, and I had nearly finished unpacking all of my boxes from our move 10 days prior to Paradise.

I had an old flatmate up for the weekend. She is from Laos. She and 'Salina were concocting plans that involved a slumber party in the living room, junk food and a movie.

I had plans.

See, a month before three years ago today, I had taken my (love) life into my own hands and updated my profile on a dating website - not because I was looking for Mr Right, but because you may never never know if you don't dip your toe.

There were a variety of nibbles on the line, but only one intrigued me enough to tug the line.

We "chatted" - first on IM, then on the phone. We texted and emailed and got to know each other long distance.

Then we made plans for a date.

Three years ago today, we had that first date.

Obviously, it went well.
