The Story of Us

2009

Pat and I met junior year of college at a house party thrown by mutual friends and it didn't stick. To this day he claims that he was vaguely interested in me and I wasn't interested at all. 3 months later we saw each other across the room in a nameless Irish bar and this time it stuck. We were drawn to each other and chatted all night until our friends literally dragged us away from each other. He asked me out 3 days later and after a comically disastrous first date, I decided to give him a second, second chance. And then on our second date we both knew. Now it is 4 years later, and he is my best friend and makes me laugh more than anyone I’ve ever met.  I'm so thankful that my friends dragged me to the bar that night and we got to meet again. I'm so thankful that I had this idea of who he was in my mind (which is NOT who he acted like on our first date) that I had to give him another chance. He is exactly who I thought he was by the way - he was just extremely nervous :) Our relationship is a testament to second chances; sometimes things need a second glance, or another try.
