Ok, So being a lurker for a while, then making some posts cause I had questions, I have now upgraded to making my own PJ. So here it goes.
History:
DFH and I met in, can you guess it?, Disney World. We were both CPs in the summer of 2006, and as luck would have it, I moved in right across the hall from him at Vista Way. So I met him the first week, and lets just say, there wasn't an instant connection. I was still hoping for something with someone back home, and he was currently getting over a previous gf (also named Katie). However, about 2 weeks later, he comes to the door, and is locked out of his apartment, and in full costume (plaid shorts, hawaiian shirt, and suspenders) asking to use my bathroom to change into other clothes. Since he was locked out, and I had the day off and didn't know what to do, I said he could stay at my apartment if he wanted. He was looking at heading to Wendy's which was just nearby, and asked if i wanted to go with him. I said sure... I was like "he's cute, and who knows what will happen?". So of course that got screwed up by my friend from back home (also a CP) and two people she was with saw us and they were going to Bennigans, and wanted to know if we wanted to go. I was like... Ummmm... Ok. The wait there was an hour so Wendy's was the place all 5 of us ended up. I learned later DFH was freaking cause he actually didn't have enough money to go to Bennigans. But we all sat together and I made sure there was a seat left open next to me for him to sit down. It went ok, we hung out for a bit and then went back to separate apartments.
I made a really bad mistake and went out with a guy I really didn't want to go out with, but I was trying to be nice, but afterwards he tried to call me, so I hid at DFH apartment for the evening, so we watched movies, except it consisted of me sitting on his couch, and he was at a computer on facebook. Not the best way to start a relationship. He apparently didnt get the hint that I was interested. So I eventually went back to my apartment.
What really changed our relationship was that I 'faked' being drunk, ok, maybe I was a little tipsy, and told his roommate that I really liked DFH. Well that got passed on and on another night, tipsy again we were at his apartment and he was laying on the couch and asked me to come join him, and he directly confronted me on if I liked him. I admitted it. That night he SLEPT at my apartment.
Well, while he had been dating previous Katie, she decided to move to another housing complex, and so he asked to be moved to. Well, after about a week of seeing eachother he got moved. So he was no longer across the hall. I got an American cell phone, and got his number from his former roommate who was still across the hall (and sleeping with my roommate). And started texting him. I met up with him at his new apartment, and we hung out for three days there, he was actually sick and I took care of him. I basically moved in with him there, and was there from mid-June to mid-August. His roommate seemed to be fine with me being there, and would always call me roomie.
Well, He left mid-august and I had to go back to my real apartment, not cool, I had a truely awful girl living there. So i was very unhappy, but I only had two more weeks til my program was over, so I stuck it out. And we had already made plans that I would come visit him before I went home.
I met his mom, who after knowing that I really didn't want to go back to Canada offered to let me move in with them BEFORE I HAD EVEN MET HER, she was really nice, and since she only has boys loved pretending she had a daughter. (apparently I am a much better shopping companion).
I went back to Canada, hoping that I could switch to an american school (never happend) and saw DFH about once a month. While planning my annual mother/daughter (in February) trip with my mom, I asked if he could come too. Since he was still a college rep, we would get discounts, so i used that as incentive. So she said yes and we even paid for his plane ticket.
We get to disney, and it was so hard sleeping with my DFH in the same room as my mother. He showed me right away that he had my birthday gift, and asked if I wanted it, i said "no, I want to wait til its my birthday", he asked on Saturday and my b-day wasn't til Friday. So he placed the box, obviously a jewelry box on top of the armoir in the hotel room. Tuesday, he calls his mom, and she asks, in a very loud voice "have you given katie the ring yet?" My heart stopped. He freaked on his mom, "That was supposed to be a birthday gift!" After he gets off the phone, he says to me "well, I guess that ruined that surprise, here are your EAR rings." I was like "OH! Thank you." Silently I was crushed. So for the rest of the week I just assumed that I would have to wait til the spring like we had talked about.
Well, Friday, My b-day comes around, we had dinner reservations at CRT and then we were gonna do the pirate and princess party. So DFH ran around getting in all of the rides we wanted to before we had to leave the next day, and my Mom stayed at the hotel and rested for the excitement yet to come. We returned to the hotel, got all ready for the party and headed to MK. We ate at CRT, so delicious, even if they did forget my tomatoes on my salad. (I asked for no onions, DFH asked for no onions and no tomatoes, they didn't put tomatoes on either). We then went to the party, had a blast, went on rides, collected booty, saw the parade, and then there were the fireworks. We were right infront of cinderella's castle, and I was taking pictures of the fireworks. DFH is behind me with his arms around me, mom is about 5ft behind us. I can feel something box-like in his pocket, but I didn't really clue in. "Once upon a dream" begins and he moves to my left side and gets down on one knee. Again, my heart stopped. And all I can say is "Are you serious?" three times. A very enthused french lady grabbed my camera and was taking pictures of it. and so was my mom. So eventually I realize that its actually happening and say "of course!". And then there was plenty of kissing, and then we went and got mint-chocolate chip ice cream (my fav) and had a ton of disney photographs done. (that was 02/23/07)
So now we are back to our longdistance relationship. I spent the summer at his house, cause his mom got me a job at her work. But now we have to try to finish University, and plan the wedding, and we are also both working part-time. So its very crazy.
Coming up... The planning has begun, but my mother is having trouble letting go of her only daughter
