in the fall of 2002, i remember standing and talking to one of my guy friends at our high school football game when this other tall guy just kind of popped up out of nowhere, said hi, made some kinda joke, i’m sure, and juuust after a reference was made to him having a girlfriend [it was a short-lived relationship, apparently], he disappeared! and that’s really the first time i remember taking note of one steven bishop.
in 2003, that steven guy asked me to the homecoming dance. actually, i’m not sure if he actually asked me to homecoming, because at that point, we were dating, and so it was assumed, right? psh. guys. well, i’m sure i insisted upon him making the actual request, but to tell you the truth, i just don’t remember! so, on an october evening, we got with our bests and headed to dinner before changing into ridiculous 70s and 80s costumes and dancing and laughing the night away.
then! a short eleven years later on that same weekend in 2014, steven and i left our baby princess in the care of my mother and sister, and headed off to visit with old faces for the class of 2004’s 10 year reunion. that was steven’s class, not mine, but i had close friends in that grade back in the day which is why tall-guy-who-popped-up-to-say-hello and i ended up together in the first place! aaand so… as we got ready to go, it felt to me just a little bit like we were headed off to homecoming once again… proooobably due to the fact that i am the most sentimental person EVER and that’s exactly how i wanted it to feel! i just couldn’t be happier or more thankful that i got to keep my high school sweetheart forever and ev. 🙂 plus, it was steven’s birthday and we were all over the evening-out idea!
so hey!! be careful what you wish for, kids!! 😉 😉 because things like this…
…happen ooooh so quickly! and when they do, it’s pretty super fabulous.
anyway, it was really fun to be kind of officially back in high school for a sec with a few of the people who kept us laughing and smiling through those crazy years! honestly, i loved high school. i mean, i hated it, but i loved it, and i think that’s pretty normal, right?! 🙂
[tall guy named steven, me, hs girl best friend, hs guy best friend. they’re getting married, ps!]
[and in the middle is guy friend i was talking to when other tall guy said hi at that football game!]
…such a comfort zone, isn’t it! people who knew you in high school. it’s kinda crazy to look back and see that so much time has passed, but at the same time nothing feels all that different. but it does! but it doesn’t. so, anyway! we had such a blast that night. and then… we went home to our baby. 🙂 [who was definitely still awake and partying, because my night owl genes never fail.]
You guys are so adorable. I think it's kind of a rare thing to keep your high school sweetheart. And naturally you being the romantic and sentimental soul you are got to keep yours. 😉
And happy birthday. And happy ten year reunion. Etc.
