My name is Jenn, I moved to Florida in December of 06, from Michigan, with whatever I could carry in my two door Toyota Solara, and I haven't looked back since. It's been a whirlwind 6 years and about the only thing that hasn't changed since, is my car. I have a 4 year old pitbull who has made me smile every single day since the day I got her, minus a few nights she steals covers from me or pushes me off the bed! Two years ago I was at a crossroads in my personal life, I was ready to focus on my own goals and happiness rather than sacrificing it for other people... Then, only a couple months into that time period I met Jeremy, and needless to say the last two years together have been crazy, fun, spontaneous and unforgettable!....
Jeremy and I met February 10th, 2011 (my parents anniversary). We were kinda sorta on double dates, but my "date" was running late so as the 3 of sat at a little Italian restaurant I was looking across the table at Jeremy. Now I did notice initially how cute he looked getting out of the car in his jeans and pullover sweater, which I still adore on him to this day, but Florida is hot and he is only in clothes like that if you can see your own breath in the air at night.... So anyway, as I sat across from him I thought he kept looking at me a little longer than usual, but I wasn't convinced.
So at one point when both our dates went to the bathroom I asked if I could get his number (liquid courage, what can I say?), he quickly replied with a yes but before he could give it to me his date was returning from the bathroom. So he then proceeded to the bathroom himself and was able to borrow a pen and the back of a carton of swisher sweets from the bathroom attendant in order to write his number down and give it to me.
We talked for a week straight via text and had our first date 7 days later, the Tampa Bay Lightning hockey game... We had a blast! I still wasn't sure where I was at as far as wanting to be in a relationship, but throw in a little remolding of my condo, which made it pretty much unlivable, and you get ME, moving into his studio apartment, with my dog, two weeks after our first date!!.... And we have been inseparable since, even after my condo was finished.
Jump ahead to February 15th 2013, and we have our great town home in south tampa that we have been renting together and almost a 2 year anniversary. We decided to celebrate by flying off to San Juan Puerto Rico together....
We flew off to San Juan as a little getaway for our 2 year anniversary together. We enjoyed a great day touring the city, and as the sun was setting on the water he was moving me to multiple locations and nervously fiddling with his pocket everywhere we went. He tried different areas as we were losing time with the sun, and because people were near us or following behind us to our different locations, he just couldn't make up his mind on where to go. Eventually he found some stairs and an empty corner along the water front. At this point I knew what was going on and just kept smiling as he led the way. He hugged me and told me he loved me so much and said he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me... I quickly replied yes, snatched the ring out of the box and shoved it on my finger haha. He swears he got down on one knee but I think I jumped the gun and got overly excited about putting on the most perfect ring in the world to notice. I might have ruined his shining moment, but at this point I was drooling over the final question as if I had finally found water after walking in the desert for half a day!!! I was so happy and overjoyed!! I couldn't wait to say yes to this man and start planning our future together.
