Thomas has finally acheived a milestone that no other guy I’ve ever dated has reached. As of today, we’ve been dating for 3 years.

We’re actually kinda unsure when our actual 3 year mark is. Originally we chose March 15 because that’s the day I realized he was worth keeping around, but we didn’t have an official date until March 25th. That’s when we’ll be celebrating this year. Thomas is doing the planning so I’m not quite sure what he’s got up his sleeve.

I’ve got my journal entries from past years down right now, so I checked Thomas’ blog to reminisce… (Note: his entry photos are no longer matched up correctly)

• We met online - see Phenomenon #2
• We met in person - we were specifically NOT on a date
• He’s worth sticking with - if a bus campout didn’t scare him away
• Our first official date - he never wrote the long version, but it was an adventure

He asked me out on our first date with an email that said:

Take the year that LiveJournal started.
Two months past your birth month.
Translate the word “sju” to get the day number.
Visit Userfriendly. The entry should have the text “better if we talk in person”.

which led me to this comic and then took several emails and a phone call to confirm that he was asking me on a date. The rest is history.
