Introduction to Him & Her

Brad and I were friends (or acquaintances, whatever you want to call it) for a few years in high school before we got together. We had mutual friends, everybody from around here does. This town is tiny. There's no romantic beginning. We didn't meet each other on separate family vacations and then figure out we go to the same school a la Vanessa Hudgens and Zach Efron, or Olivia Newton John and John Travolta. We didn't fall in love at first sight. We got drunk at a friend's party and saw each other in a different light I guess you could say. We ended up staying up all night back at his house talking about exes and parents and the future and friends. I pretended to call a taxi company somewhere around 3am, but "couldn't get a hold of them". Then I suggested we sleep in the same bed even though there were two extras, not to mention fold-out couches. It's no wonder he tried to sleep with me on the first night. The next morning was probably one of the most awkward days that I can remember. He drove me home and then it took him a week to call me afterwards for a date. Actually it was more like a text. He was really shy. Our first date was to go see Knocked Up, and that is what we consider the starting point. I think alcohol pretty much fueled every major stepping stone in our relationship. Without it, we might never have slept together (finally after two months), I never would have said "I love you", and we never would have gotten together in the first place. How romantic.

We have been together for nearly two years now.

So, now that you have that little bit of history, I'll try to explain what this blog is about. It was actually Brad's idea, even though I'm the one who loves to write. He rarely talks about his feelings too, so I'm surprised he has volunteered himself to co-write a blog. We're going to write about anything that inspires us. It will be material from our real lives, and hopefully you'll get to know us better after a few posts. I haven't seen anything on the web co-written by a couple like this. I did a little research, but literally came up with nothing. So, we are really looking forward to creating this! Enjoy.
