Dear Nate (Part 1)

This is part one of a two part blog-letter to My Nate. I wasn't really planning on doing this but it seems like a good idea. I'm really hoping to get this part done before he gets out of work. Part two will come early tomorrow morning. =)

Dear My Nate,

Wow. It's almost been a year!! It's almost unbelievable how fast it went by. Do you remember how the first weeks and months seemed to go by so slowly? Especially when three words were trying to hard to get out. But here we are now almost one. Whole. Year. 

I'm pretty sure you know all this stuff but I'm going to tell you again anyway.

About this time last year you were here at my house. I was so extremely nervous. Maybe it was because it was the first time you had been here to hang out with just me or maybe it was the fact that that night you would be talking to my dad about us dating. Coloring, sword fights in the rain, Wii...Good times.

Remember how just as Dad said it was time to go oblivious Lewis tried to go too? Another wonderful time. =P

I remember how anxious I felt while waiting for Dad to get home that night. I really, really wanted to know what happened. When he got home he didn't say anything and I waited forever for you to get on Facebook and tell me but you never did. 

That night was one of the longest nights of my life. All I could think was "Nate knows and I don't...". 

I remember the confusion, sadness, and tears of the next morning/afternoon oh so well. That seemed like the worst thing that could have possibly happened to me. I couldn't think of anything all day. And the fact that Mom kept giving me weird smiles all day made it all worse.

I remember the conversation with Mom in the Market Basket parking lot and realizing that she was just as confused as I was. 

I remember how as soon as I got home and Mom said that Dad told us to "knock ourselves  out" I jumped on Facebook and explained. Soon after you sent me the following message: Nate

I, King N8 of Kemenbar, would like to formally request that you, Queen Meg of Kemenbar, would be my girlfriend.

I think we all know what my answer was =)

*laughs* I also remember how confused Lewis was when he saw our relationship status on Facebook. I think we did a fantastic job of keeping secrets. 

Nate, this year has been so incredible. It's been the best and happiest year of my life. I love you so very much. There's more of this to come later.

Love,
Meg


P.S. I love you
