A year ago today, I went to the zoo. Got lost in the parking garage trying to get TO the zoo... walked a mile at least to get BACK to the zoo... then really had to find the bathroom, but couldn't, thus naming the Houston Zoo's map the Non-Map. After an hour (I'm serious about the hour), and much searching under MUCH duress, the facilities were located. They were impossible to find because they were hidden behind the koala bear exhibit, (in case you are ever there). After finding the facilities, the next several hours were spent checking out some pretty weird looking animals, while dodging copious amounts of small children in Halloween costumes. It was Zoo Boo week apparently. I didn't know yet that today was a day I needed to mark on my calendar.
A year ago today was my first date with Blake.
After the zoo, we wandered around town trying to get back to a place we both halfway sorta recognized. After that we decided to eat dinner at Berryhill, and I wanted Courtney to meet Blake, so she came out too. Then we went out to Armadillo Palace and then Stag's Head... or maybe it was Stag's Head and then Armadillo Palace... I don't recall...
After a long evening of just hanging out, Blake took me home. We stayed up talking really late that night about anything and everything... just getting to know one another. I seem to remember that it was a little chilly outside, and we were sitting in his truck chatting. For HOURS.
Little did I know that I had just found my very best friend, and the love of my life. It's been an interesting year, but a wonderful one.
One year.
Just a drop in the bucket.
Love you...
