The Study of 2 years of Dating

Two years ago this happened . Oh the memories of way to short hairs, and falling in love in hot humid weather.

3 months later, JJ moved to Utah. That's right, we hung out in real life for 5 days and then he moved to Utah, and in with me.

It has been TWO YEARS. TWO YEARS! Take that you people who were sceptical of our short term dating in real life. We had many Internet chat dates, and phone call dates. There wasn't a "lets get physical", cause we couldn't. We were 1,800 miles apart! I think it's a good form of dating. What else are you going to do but TALK and get to know the person?

Read more about it, here.

Anyway, like true JJ and Ashley style, we forgot about the great 2 year mark. However, I remembered a week later. So, I purchased JJ some of these:

Which, disappeared from their box before I could snap a photo of the real ones.

It should be noted that the night before I gave JJ his favorite candies ever made (according to him), I had a bout of self induced sickness and he took care of me all night long. So much so that he slept next to me while I was on the floor, and he was on the couch.

I forgave JJ that he forgot cause he redeemed himself with a nice king size bar of this:

Mine are still in the freezer.

He also purchased the flowers which are featured above. Yes, I complain that I don't like flowers. BUT, these are actually planted in dirt. Big difference.

They don't die in a week.

A few things I've learned while dating/being engaged over the past 2 years:

1. The D.I. is probably the best place to go shopping in the Salt Lake Valley. Even though I complain about going there.

2. Never pass up a clearance rack. Espically the ones at Walmart and Target.

3. You can download anything for free that you want on the Internet. You just have to know how, and what to search for.

4. JJ is: Encyclopedia Dasher. I can ask him a question about anything, and he pretty much knows the answer to it. But, there are often times he doesn't, and pretends like he does. Which makes playing the game, "I win", alot more fun. Cause, well "I win!". So I try to prove him wrong. Like that one time JJ thought Albertsons was owned by Krogers. That was a fun one. Speaking of which, where's my $20?

5. Marmite. The great tasting, Marmite.

6. Patience. With JJ you have to have patience, times 10.

Here's to many many many more anniversaries to come.

I love ya, Mr. Dasher.
