Meet Garrett the Boyfriend

It was a year ago this weekend that he was first shown on the blog. We were staying at a mutual friend’s cottage and I got these pictures of him jumping in the lake. We had just started hanging out that Spring and I was shy and nervous around him – so unlike me. I had a crush on him and I couldn’t deny it.

We started seeing each other more. I made him dinner. He made me laugh. In August he helped me roll out the pie crust for his first blueberry pie. I got calls from friends asking “who’s hands are those in this week’s recipe?”And here I thought I was keeping our little romance secret.

By the end of the Summer, we were inseparable. I couldn’t think of anything else except spending time with him.

It took Whiskey even less time than me to fall in love with him.
So after a year of calling him “the boyfriend”, it seems about time that you met him.

Meet Garrett. 
The Boyfriend. Sous Chef. Spider Killer. Fellow Movie Critic. Man I Love.
He is always surprising me. One minute he is talking about weightlifting and the next he is asking if I want to go to the farmer’s market. There are few things that he isn’t game for and for a social bee like me, thats great.
At the same time he also slows down that go-go-go nature in me. He reminds me to take it easy sometimes and slow down before I miss what is around me. I’m always jumping to the next thing and he reminds me to be in the present.

Here’s to another year of late night phone calls, walks through the woods/city, date nights at the drive-in, dancing in the kitchen, dinner disasters and many more adventures 🙂
