A First For Everything

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!

In your relationship with you SO, when/where/what was your first (in no particular chronological order):

Words?
Phone Call?
Date?
Hug?
Hand Holding?
Kiss?
Sleep-Over(non-sexual)?
Met the Other's Parents?
Apartment Together?
Car?
Proposal?
Vacation Alone?
Maor Appliance Purchase?
House You Bought Together?
You Exchanged "I love you"?
PDA?

If there were any I missed, please add to the list! Let's have some fun!!

Words? Probably "Hi" the first time we met, when our mutual friends introduced us.

Phone Call? Good gosh, I don't remember! He didn't have a phone at the time, he would call from his parents house when he was able. Didn't get a phone until we got married and I brought mine from my extension at my parent's house!

Date? Would have been in Nov. of 1983.

Hug? Don't remember.

Hand Holding? Probably in the fall of 1983.

Kiss? Fall of 1983.

Sleep-Over(non-sexual)? Didn't have one. We only spent 1 night together before marriage, the night of my Senior Prom (the 'stay out all night' night) and that was NOT non-sexual!

Met the Other's Parents? He met mine in Dec of 1983. I met his in either Dec. or Jan 84.

Apartment Together? Didn't have one. He had a trailer when we first met and that is where we lived for 7 years after we got married.

Car? Ummm....his little pickup, in.....1990?

Proposal? The first one? I never had one, lol. DH maintains he proposed, but he never really did! However, the ring....presentation for lack of a better word...was in Sept 1984.

Vacation Alone? 1986, the year after we married, although it wasn't really 'alone'. It *was* our first vacation though. We've never really had an 'alone' vacation because various family members wander back to the cabin in Maine every summer and vacation times usually overlap. We're all cool with that though, it's the way we want it.

Maor Appliance Purchase? Probably our first dryer in....1990? We didn't have a dryer until then. I know our son was about 3 when we finally got one.

House You Bought Together? 1991, the one and only house we've ever bought. (At least they're getting more recent, most of these questions are too far back for me to keep track of!)

You Exchanged "I love you"? Don't remember. Probably sometime in the first half of 1984.

PDA? Yikes, who knows?

How sad is this?? When I read the last part "PDA" my first thought was "I don't have a PDA".

Words? - "What the hell?!" I was 15, he was 13 or 14 and had just punched his bestfriend for fooling around with his ex-girlfriend before she was actually his ex. Odd story but they decided that was the best way to settle everything and are still extremely close friends to this day, lol. It was at a local punk show. 1995

Phone Call? 1995, a couple of days after we first met. Neither of us can remember the month, but was likely early spring so March or April.

Date? April 2nd, 2005 lol. We've been close friends since we first met but until now had never been single at the same time.

Hug? 1995, hugged him goodbye the day we met

Hand Holding? 1995 sometime probably, lol really don't remember but it was just a friend thing

Kiss? April 2nd, 2005 :)

Sleep-Over(non-sexual)? June 1997, he went with a friend of mine to our junior prom and they all stayed over afterwards. Might have even been before that though. I had the "safe house" in high school. My parents didn't allow drinking or drugs but if anyone needed a place to stay for the night they could use our couch, no questions asked. I never quite knew who would be in my living room in the morning, lol.

Met the Other's Parents? 1995 sometime, we were still being driven around by our parents then, lol.

Apartment Together? n/a

Car? n/a

Proposal? n/a

Vacation Alone? July 8th 2005, we're going to Boston for the weekend

Maor Appliance Purchase? n/a

House You Bought Together? n/a

You Exchanged "I love you"? He said it to me two nights ago at a kinda random part of a conversation (I almost missed it cause he just kept talking) but I haven't said it back to him yet.

PDA? April 9th, 2005
