Give Me Five

[eggwards]

Five years ago today I met a guy at a restaurant known for it's fried food and queso. It was a little meeting at lunch, since we missed meeting each other the week before as I had gone to austin at the last minute, and didn't go to a Rugby game in Houston.

Nothing was said on that day that was to show what was to come, except a little note in my entry that over lunch I kept babbling on and on. While then it was from being nervous, i still find that I'm the one that can babble more about nothing than he can.

Somewhere along the way I thought last year was the five year mark, but a check the other day of my journal showed that I was wrong. I won't say it's our anniversary, it wasn't the day we fell in love, or decided to date or anything. Today is but a date to remember when we first met.

Still, five years. Not too shabby. I, for one am damn glad it happened. And like I still love fried foods and queso - sometimes even together, I still love Chris as well.

Five years? Cool! (And all this time I'd never seen a picture of Chris. *slaps self on head*)

And I'm sorry that you had to leave the beautiful scenery at the ranch, but I know you'll be happier in a different kind of "greener pasture" :^)

Chris pops up now and again, but since he hasn't been on LJ for more than a year, there's nothing to link to there.

Yeah, I worked in Houston with the view of a freeway for many years, so it's not really an issue that I don't see the lake and cattle. There actually is a small retention pond at the new workplace, but I don't know if my cube will overlook it, or the parking lot. Hopefully, being happier with the job will make the difference.

These days I'd kill for a view of a parking lot or a pond instead of endless miles of interstate. :-)

I can't even say that I've done anything for five consecutive years (certainly not a job). Congratulations nonetheless, and here's to many more years. ;)
