A little history:

Approximately October 2002 I attended our Mediaeval dance class on my own and was a little shy but had made friends and well, was learning the dances of the 15th century. MyLuc then known to me as Noah often asked me to dance and I would totally harass him because he never smiled or showed expression. I had become friends with someone known to me then as Wolfie. Noah's ex-girlfriend from the previous year. She still had feelings for him but knew that they just weren't compatible.

Noah pursued me and asked me for coffee after every dance class, I declined. He had tickets to Tom Cochrane, I declined. He offered to walk me home from dance class even though he drove in, I declined. I moved to New Westminster in March 2003 and my first thought was "I'm a little lonely". So I called up Noah and asked if he wanted to come over for a movie. "Sure" he said and brought over his DVD player and Mallrats. Now I had never seen any Kevin Smith movies and I got totally hooked...on both Noah and Mallrats. We talked until like 4 in the morning and then I asked him if he wanted to stay. We slept side by side with him holding my hand. It was awesome.

Over the next few weeks Noah would stay the weekend and we'd talk and walk and go places. I have to admit, I really really wanted to jump'im but he wanted to wait. So we talked, n' walked and watched movies and it was awesome.

In April 2003, MyLuc and I decided we would be "exclusive". We argue that the anniversary of that day is either April 6 or April 7. I chose April 6 because I invited MyLuc to come to a Folk Heroes show and watch us perform and he chooses April 7 because he took me out to a very nice restaurant ie: expensive.

Approximately May I finally figured out his name was Luc and Noah was his SCA Name. About June he decided it was time to meet his parents. I was so nervous. I went to the store and bought a really brilliant coloured flower (I can't remember what it was) and off we went. When we arrived Virginia walked out of her very large greenhouse covered in dirt. I was horrified. Why couldn't he have told me...I could have gotten her something different.

All in all the first meeting went well, Virginia actually either didn't have that flower or that colour...one or the other.,,and today I really miss her when I don't hear from her. His dad Larry was great. Kinda standoffish but today is the one who says "Where's my hug". His sister Laura the youngest, recently engaged to Brian, the phrases I hear "Do you really like his hair that long?", "Why are in you in a Cult?." His brother Matthew is the quiet one. He and I talk about movies and occasionally laugh over my choices.

The present:

Either we decided or I decided to celebrate our anniversary. The first one MyLuc took us back to our first date restaurant. The second one I took him to the Revolving Restaurant downtown Vancouver where every 10 minutes or so revolution we got to see (kinda) the filming of the Fantastic Four.

This morning we exchanged our gifts because I needed to be at work at 7 instead of 8. He was thrilled to recieve a packet of saffron, Superman (the first and best one), Dr. John tickets for July, Dr. John CD for New Orleans support, 2 Gargoyles and o'course a smushy card and a funny one. I was bouncing in my seat after receiving an Ipod Nano. I can't wait to get home and download music and yup...almost too excited to type.

I can't work late tonight (last night I was here to 830) because he's taking me out for dinner and our reservations are for 630 or so. I don't know where but he says it's somewhere new that we've talked about but never been. Hmmmm.

Anyways, I just had to share. Have a great Thursday!
