Its been a while since part two of mine and Daimian's story, but school started, and that is ALL I do. No joke.
Anyways, we have been to Mexico, and to college, and now we finally get to the juicy stuff.
After a short relationship, and my finally letting go of my past relationship, Daimian and began to bond just as friends. For real, there was nothing romantic at all and I loved it... We both did. We were both going through a new chapter in our lives in several ways and previous friendships were changing, I was trying to decide what I wanted out of life, and Daimian stepped in as a confidant, a listening ear, a wise voice, and a funny (not to mention good-looking) guy that helped me along.

On Valentines Day in 2010, my group of friends were all single, including myself and Daimian, so we decided to hang out at my place. I bought a picture frame that I thought he would like, printed the picture above, and gave it to him along with a card telling him how much I appreciated his friendship and him. He bought my a flower and a card, but still there was no romance... At least I thought.
A couple weeks later, we sat in the gym at our school for almost two hours helping each other let go of all the baggage and garbage and stupid stuff we couldn't before. It all seemed so darn traumatic then, but looking back now, it just wasn't such a big deal. Nonetheless, I went home that night even more thankful for Daimian and our friendship. But then I got to thinking about Valentines Day and how easy it was to talk to him and tell him things I had never disclosed to anyone else, and I wondered if I had been falling in love with him and didn't even know it. So I wrote to him on Facebook (thank God for social media being a shield for my scared buns. I basically told him that if he ever started to have feelings for me, I wanted him to be honest because I didn't want anything to ruin our friendship. He replied telling me that he did in fact have feelings for me, didn't know how to tell me, but didn't want things to be weird.
The next day, he came over, we stayed up all night talking about LITERALLY everything, I made him pancakes, he went to work at 7:00am the next day on no sleep, drove back to Keizer from Albany after, and asked me to be his girlfriend. This was our first picture together:
Aren't we adorable?
Every single day since March 5, 2010, we have seen each other. I remember one time he even drove 45 minutes down I-5 after work for 30 minutes of hanging out before I had to go to my job at Shari's. THIRTY MINUTES, people. There hasn't been a day go by that I haven't seen him.

The last part, part four comes next. Hopefully sooner than I got around to writing part three. :)
