I remember the day we met like it was yesterday.
I was scrolling through my Instagram feed and there he was.
Within a few days we became friends on Facebook, and almost as soon as he became my Facebook friend he liked my profile picture, which in 2013 that meant "he likes me". Of course I returned the like and then worked up the courage to say "hi" to him. After only an hour of talking I felt like I had known him for years. I have never clicked with someone that fast.
It was magic, talking to him.
I had just gone through a bad breakup a few months prior to meeting him. I was in a really toxic relationship for almost a year, I had no friends, I was manipulated by this person and had some serious trust issues. I was in a really bad place emotionally. Then out of nowhere I meet this amazing person and suddenly everything felt......
Okay...
I wasn't sad anymore, I felt like a changed person! I didn't necessarily have a crush on him at this point as it had only been a week since we met, but there was something there. I just didn't know what at that point in time.
Fast forward a few weeks and he FINALLY asks me on a date. Fast forward a few more weeks and I finally get to call him mine.
These last (almost) three years have been a roller coaster ride, but let me quote Agustus Waters when I say this,
we are "on a roller coaster that only goes up, my friend."
There is absolutely no one on this planet that I'd rather be on this roller coaster with.
We bicker like an old married couple but make up in 10 minutes, and just like everyone else we each have flaws that the other can't stand (I'm a bit of a lunatic when it comes to things being clean, sorry babe) but deals with because we love each other. Plain and simple.
While there are things that each of us do, there are about a million and one things that each of us do that makes up for it. I'm a neat freak, he's the opposite, but that's okay. I still love him. I'm the type of person that needs a plan to function, he's very go with the flow (one of my favorite things about him), he evens me out. He makes me laugh until it hurts, he puts a smile on my face when I'm sad, and he deals with all of my mood swings, because well, I'm a girl and that's just how we work.
Fast forward two and a half years....
July 2015
The day we found out we were having a baby together. It was scary, here we are, both in college and had no idea how we were going to raise a child together and finish school AND work, we were so young. We still are, but we made it through.
Someone that could've left me alone to raise my baby, didn't. Instead, he came to every single doctor's appointment, fulfilled every weird food craving I had, rubbed my stomach when it was upset, dealt with every mood swing, and talked to the beautiful little baby inside of me so she could hear her daddy's voice. To make such a scary time feel not so scary anymore was so perfect.

The day both of our lives became complete, the day our daughter was born. The word "love" suddenly did not describe how I felt about him. It is so much more than that.
I have never had a more positive presence in my life. He completes me. I can't imagine what life would be like without him, he's so supportive of everything that I do and its an amazing feeling to have someone be excited about things with you. He makes me laugh when I'm sad, he's such a goofy person and I love everything about him.
Coming up on our three year anniversary really makes me think back to the day we met. What if I had never said "hi" to him? How different both of our lives would be.
So, for those who think relationships that have started on social media are doomed to fail, think again. This is the 21st century and this is how we as humans have "evolved" if you will.
I am so very proud to say I met both of my true loves thanks to Social Media.
