Fred's and my story is a weird one. And a long one!
It was 4 years ago. At that time I was pretty popular in the cartoon online art world. I would get lots of random IM's from people just saying they like my work. So one night I'm just surfing the net and I get this IM from some name I've never seen before. It was Fred.
Fred was in college at a friends house and since it was college, he was quite drunk and decided he'd be funny and log onto his friends AIM and IM every person online at the time! I don't know his friend and never did figure out what I was doing on his friend's list. Anyways I was the only person who responded to his drunken chatting. He was just hilarious and adorable and fun to talk to that night. Plus he was drunk so that made him all the sillier!
After that I got his IM name and we were friends for a little over a year! I was with someone at the time and he sort of was as well. There were no romantic feelings between us, we just understood one another and I felt like I could tell him anything. Likewise he told me everything too, he always said I was a good listener!
Well after about a year we were both having relationship problems and I remember it being so nice to vent about it to him. His problems were actually worse (women can be such monsters!) but in the end both our relationships ended. It was my first relationship and boyfriend so I was messed up for awhile. After that cooled down he decided to visit me for Spring Break! I was nervous because I'd never had a man visit me online before but hey, it was Fred so why not! He decided to only stay a few days since we'd never met. So he arrives and WOW he was a handsome bugger! I was shocked! We had a fun fun weekend and Fred was a complete gentleman and it was a strickly friend visit!
A month after that he asked me to be his GF via the phone. I figured why not! At the time I lived in Missouri and he lived in Northern VA. My last relationship was long distance too so that didnt' bother me. We visited a few months later in a more romantic sense and wow did we ever click. After that for about 9 months it was passionate week long visits back and forth every 1-2 months. It was great. But we were falling in love and knew this wouldn't work unless we did something about it. So we kinda spun the globe and picked Boston because, hey, never been there before! So right before we moved there he proposed! How could I say no to the perfect man?? Anyways for the past 2 yrs we've been in Boston and we're getting married in 3 weeks! I'm the happiest I've ever been. I don't think there's a man alive more perfect for me then Fred. I am so ready to be with him forever!
Thats us in the middle. He took time away to come to my sisters wedding! I LOVE HIM!
