Yesterday

So yesterday, I celebrated 9 months of an official relationship with Tyler.

(I say official because we should have definitely been together longer than that)

While we were talking, I started about what brought us to this point in the first place.

One night, actually October 13,2012

I was talking to Tyler like I always did while he was on his way home from

broadcasting a football game for his college.

At this point, I knew that I really liked him and I wanted to be with him

but we had the trouble of being so far apart

and I didn't know how he really felt at that point.

You can put it into your head that someone likes you,

but without confirmation, you never really know. 

Anyway, we were just texting like usual and this is how it goes:
Me: I think your cute.

Tyler: No, you're cute. :)

Me: Let's be cute together.

Tyler: Let's talk about it tomorrow

...............

What?!?!?!?!?!
I had no idea what that meant at all.

I didn't know what was going on.

I was talking about us being two cute people,

so I had no idea what was going on

and that was the end of the conversation for the rest of the night.

Then the next day is Sunday.

and if you are a female in my house

then you are awake and getting ready to watch football all day.

It was about 10 in the morning and I was in the middle of a pretty intense game when my phone goes off

and its Tyler calling me.

Its not completely unusual since he's called me in the past, but never in the morning and never without texting me first.

I was confused, but answered the phone anyway.
My house has terrible reception, so it took a few tries for the phone call to go through
but one it did and we finally started talking, I knew something was up.
He sounded so nervous and just kept rambling on about one thing or another.

In all honesty, I was only half listening, I was too much into watching the football game to really remember what he kept talking about, but after a while I finally asked him why he actually called.
No guy wants to just sit on the phone forever.

Then slowly he takes a breathe and asks me if I would be his girlfriend.
It was about 3 months later than I wanted, but it still finally happened.
I was really happy and obviously said yes, I would.

Then I went back to watching football.
Nothing I could really do from here.
It was exciting and it brings me back to now and how our relationship has matured and changed over time.
We still cute talk from time to time, but now we are more focused on our future together
and how we want our life to play out.
