On August 24th, 2013 I went with my bff Jenny, and some friends to Barbary Coast to support Justin in his newly joined band: A Lily Gray. As soon as they started playing I made her come to the front of the stage to jam. These guys ROCKED. I took this picture, not knowing that this night would forever change the course of my life.
I remember noticing the singer was pretty cute, but I didn't think much into him besides that. Nate, Jenny and I went back to Jenny's house after they played. Justin talked David into coming over as well. That night we played card games, ordered pizza and I blew some minds with my magic tricks.
At one point in the night I had spilled a little pizza sauce and was cleaning it off the carpet, when David puts his backpack over the spill. From that moment on, I knew he was trouble.
6 AM came so fast, and I insisted leaving so I could make it to Harmon's when they opened. (I had to make a dip for Bethany's BBQ later that day). David threw a pillow at me, wanting me to stay. Believe me, I wanted to cuddle but I barely met this boy.
I added him on on Facebook as soon as I got home, and when I woke up I had a message from him, asking me if I made it to Harmon's. We have been texting every day since.
Our first date was exactly a week after we met [August 31, 2013]. He took me to the Cheesecake Factory for lunch. We were both so giddy and nervous after texting nonstop all week. Neither one of us could focus on the menu, so we decided to share pizza and fish tacos. [I don't even like fish.]
We had a little time to kill before I had to work, so David grabbed my hand and we goofed around the mall for a little bit.
That night A Lily Gray played a show at Burt's Tiki Lounge. After the show we went back to his apartment and stayed up all night sitting Indian-style across from each other, just talking and feeling that intense energy between us.
Somebody might have dropped an L word, and Llamageddon began.
On Sunday, September 13, 2013-- just shy of three weeks after meeting, we went to brunch downtown; it was there he told me I must be "his." I was a little intimidated by jumping into a relationship so fast, but I could not deny this intense energy felt between us. I have never crushed on someone this hard before. I told him I would give it a shot.
He said he wanted to make it "official, official," to which I replied: "What do you want me to do? Change my Facebook status??" He said: "YES! I want to shout it to the world."
& that ladies and gentlemen is when we became: "Facebook official."
