This is our story. When I was a freshman in high school and he was still an eighth grader in middle school, I saw his Myspace through a mutual friend. I thought to myself that he was pretty adorable, but who was I kidding? I was too shy to ever message him “hello,” so I just ended up moving along. Unbeknownst to him, I would constantly look back at his profile time and time again to see if his relationship status ever changed. Surprisingly it never changed. I thought to myself “Hmmm, maybe he is just the type of guy who doesn’t publically announce his relationship status to the whole world.” Discouraged, I just kept along with my life. You can say I was a stalker or an admirer, whichever way you want to put it, but I knew for a fact that I knew something was different about him at first glance. I just had the urge to always check up on him, but would never have the courage to come out of the shadows and introduce myself to him. The hype went from Myspace to Facebook. I eventually came across his Facebook through the “People You May Know” column. I would still continue to visit his page every month or two for the next couple of years, regardless if I had a boyfriend at the time or not. It doesn’t hurt. I wasn’t actually talking to him, but you can say I got “attached” to him very easily. After almost a year of being in college, I finally said to myself “Hey, what is there to lose? I might as well say hi or something.” And so I did. On March 1, 2011. I finally got the audacity to add him on Facebook and not long after we began to message each other and then text. All clichés aside, there are no words to explain how I felt that day. You can say that I went to sleep with a smile on that night. Over the course of 25 days we talked almost all day, everyday. We found out that we are both eerily similar to one another. From common interests, to family life, to mannerisms, to eating habits, to childhood, to almost everything, we had in common. It’s like we were the same person, but of course he was a guy and I was a girl. It’s amazing that after 5 years of knowing of him, I finally got the chance to actually get to know him, and we automatically clicked and hit it off. And soon enough, I became his first girlfriend. It kind of makes me wonder what would have happened if I had said something earlier. Would it turn out the same? Would we still be together? With all wondering aside, I’m just glad that we ended up together. I love everything about him. The way he makes me feel when he smiles, or winks, or says the sweetest things. At this very moment as I am writing this, I am looking at him work. All I can think of is how in the world did I ever deserve a blessing as great as him. He treats me like his everything everyday. I have no doubt in my mind that he might be “the one.” Tomorrow is going to be our six months and I’m in love with him as if I knew him for much longer. He many not be my first love nor my first boyfriend, but he is my true love and hopefully my last boyfriend. Now, I don’t condone Internet stalking or admiring, but it got me to where I am now: Happily in love with HIM. Happy six months Glenn Baylon Vistro, I love you very much hubby. – Your wifey Lynne
