Before DH left for his training class in OH, we had to go and buy a new vaccuum because our hand-me down vav broke. As we were discussing the pro's and con's of the Hoover vs. the Eureka, he looked at me with a huge smile and said, "This is our first appliance purchase as a couple together!" That got me thinking, especially since I did time in the Alzheimer unit yesterday and listened to individuals recant their childhoods and marriages. Every relationship has a first that isn't associated with sex..Since I'm nostalgic and missing my DH very much, I figured I'd come here and get us all back to our relationships firsts!

You Exchanged "I love you"?> The night I met his little girl. We were all nervous. I had just gotten back from my father's funeral..He was putting his little girl to bed and she asked if I was staying the night. He answered yes. As they were walking to the bedroom, she turned around and said, "Jennie, I love you." I returned the "I love you." That night, DH and I were lying in bed...I had my head on his chest, he was playing with my hair..We were talking..I said, "I...I...I..." He said, "Just say it, Jennie!" I said, "Say what? Oh! You want me say "I love you." Well...I love you." Immediately, he returned it..It was like the elephant had been rushed out of the room the moment we acknowledged our feelings. I'll never forget it.
PDA? The night we had our first date, but it was 6 a.m. and noone was in the grocery store. I tried on and off that summer, but DH "didn't approve of PDA." It was a couple months after that...With a couple of incidents with other guys flirting with me, that DH started holding my hand in public..Now he hugs me, kisses me, holds my hand in public..I pinch his adorable derriere in public..When no-one is watching..It makes him blush.
Okey..Anyone else?
You know you're asking me to go back 27, hmmm........almost 28 years now???
Words? We just said hi. The friend who introduced us (not in a matchmaker sense, in a normal this is so-and-so sense) did most of the talking.

Date? We went out for chinese.
Hug? Don't remember
Hand Holding? Don't remember
Kiss? I was soooo nervous it turned out to be the worst kiss ever. We still joke about it. Anyways, we were sitting on his bed (dorm rooms lack furniture) and he said we had to kiss to see if we were compatible.
Sleep-Over(non-sexual)? My friend wanted to use my room to "get to know" a guy so I slept at his place.
Met the Other's Parents? My parents had an extra football ticket, his parents came to pick him up for dinner. He met mimne first.
Apartment Together? Have yet to do.
Car? Have yet to do.
