our story

we had seen one another at work almost every single day for about 30 seconds each time for an entire year. we always smiled. there was always something there, but i wrote it off as him being incredibly good looking. i always wondered, though.

bored and thinking about him after he'd just walked out of the office on may 21, '09, i found him on facebook after twenty minutes of searching.
little did i know, he was so incredibly cool as to have a facebook application on his phone and within ten minutes, we were officially "friends" :)

there was a cubs/cards game on that night and being the passionate, avid and (sometimes crazy) cubs fan he is, i thought i'd ask him what his plans were for the game.
nada... really?

after a lengthy conversation and a few hours later, he came to town and picked me up.. and there we went on our first night out.
we talked the entire time and watched maybe 30 seconds of the game. we hit it off in an utterly amazing way. it was strong.

over the next few days, we couldn't get enough of each other. i wanted to spend every waking second with him. ironic, too-weird-to-be-coincidence things were happening.

the next week, he half-jokingly told me if the cubs win the world series, he would ask me to marry him. i became a cubs fan. (that's where the name of the blog comes from!)

we took a trip to ohio two weeks after that first night we went out. it was a blissful experience. we fell in love.

so now, i believe in love at first sight. i believe in soul mates. i believe in us.

we finish each other's thoughts. we feel each other... we truly can just feel. it's powerful and it's right. he's my hero. he's the person i am lucky enough to spend the rest of my life with.

and here our story begins.
