The night I met my baby (continued from the previous entry)

[angelface110302]

So anyways, after John protected me from the scary bull on the hay ride, the ride was almost over. We got back to where we started at and we hopped off and then it was time to leave because the party was ending. So, Stevie T, John, and I all got back into Jessica's car and headed back towards the dorms. John and I were sitting in there talking and I said to everyone in the car, "I don't feel like going back to my dorm yet. It's still really early." Then John and Stevie T asked me if I wanted to go back to the Ramada (where they lived then) and watch a movie with them. I was like "SURE!" So, Jessica dropped John and I off at his car and I rode with him back to his room in the Ramada. Stevie T got in his car and drove back and met us in John's room. We went to Stevie T's room (which was next door to John's) and picked out a movie to watch. He had a pretty good selection to choose from. At first, I said let's watch American Pie (the unedited version) but I was just kidding with them to see what they would do. They were like HAHA, I don't think so. So, John then chose Happy Gilmore with Adam Sandler. I love that movie; it has always been one of my favorites. We then went back to John's room, and I lay beside him in his bed and we watched the movie. Stevie T was sitting on John's roommate Ben's bed. That movie is so funny. During the movie, I noticed that John kept on looking at me more than he was watching the movie. Awwe. I decided to make the first move. While he was deep into the movie, I took his hand and held it until the movie was over. Then at the end of the movie, after Stevie T left, I tried kissing John on the lips, but he stopped me before I could and said, Alisha I want to get to know you better before we start that. I agreed with him, I got a little carried away. At that moment, I knew I was with the person I was going to be with forever. I could feel some spirit saying Alisha, this is the one so don't mess it up. It made me really happy, so happy that I can't explain it. A little while later, John's roommate Ben got off work and came in the room. That was the first time I had ever met him too. The first words he said were "Whoa, John's got a girl in his bed! Oh my goodness, I think I'm going to have a heart attack!" LOL. He's so crazy. I stayed in John's room until about 3 that morning and then John drove me back to my dorm (Little Wells). Then the next day, John and I ate lunch at Saga together and exchanged phone numbers and email addresses. That was the point that I realized that John's name was my daddy's name backwards. SO WEIRD! That was just the beginning of the many connections we share. After we ate, we held hands and he walked me to my class and then he went to his class. After I got out of class that day, I got a sweet little phone call from John in my dorm room. He was coming to visit me before my parents got there to pick me up. (It was a Friday afternoon, and my parents were coming to get me because I was going home for the weekend and it was the homecoming football game at my high school that I was going to). We spent some more time getting to know each other better and we listened to my CD player. The first song we ever heard together was "Me and You" by Kenney Chesney. We slow danced to it and at that time we declared that was Our Song. Right after that, my daddy got there. John helped me carry my stuff out to the truck. And then we said our goodbyes. I remember him saying to me, "Alisha, I had a lot of fun at that party with you last night. I look forward to seeing you again soon. Drive safe and I will call you this weekend!" After that, my daddy and I left. On our way home, my daddy said to me, "Alisha, is he your boyfriend? If he's not, he better be!" So we got home and all I could talk about the whole weekend was John and how much fun we had together. The next day, I called John on his cell phone and we talked for over an hour. Then right when I got back to school on Sunday, November 3, 2002, John called me and asked me to go to dinner with him. So he came and got me, and we went to Fazoli's in Milledgeville together. It was a lot of fun. When we got back, we sat in his car on Jackson Street (what we call Memory Lane) for hours and hours just talking and then at about 10:30 PM he leaned over and said to me: "Alisha, everybody probably already thinks we are going out b/c we hold hands all the time, so will you go out with me?" Of course, I said "YES!!!" After that, we had our first kiss (John's first kiss ever). AWWWE. I was so happy. Then a little while later, he walked me back to my dorm and he left and went back to the Ramada. That was such a wonderful night I will never ever forget.

Wow, that seems like it was just yesterday. Next week, on June 3, 2004, it will be 1 year and 7 months for me and John. We are still as happy as we have always been. It keeps getting better every day. I know for a fact I am going to spend the rest of my life with John and nothing will ever change that. I am so thankful that the Lord decided to bless me with such a wonderful man. I look forward to spending the rest of eternity with my baby. I LOVE YOU JOHN NOW AND FOREVER!!

Hope you all enjoyed learning about how John and I first met. I warned yall, it would be a long story. Well, I better go for now. Hope yall have a great day!! TTYAL!!

Love ya,
ALISHA :o)
