21st July.

I met Kate for the first time a year ago today. Well, “met” isn’t really the right word; I got an e-mail from her that I read and fell in love with straight away. It was her name, her words, some magic or secret knowledge that I’ll never understand, but I read the e-mail and immediately knew how important she was in my life, even if I didn’t know in what way yet. We got to know each other over e-mails and IM and phone calls, and I had the biggest secret crush on her like you wouldn’t believe... The first time I heard her voice, my heart did flips; yours would, too, if you could hear her. When we finally told each other that we liked each other a bit more than just liking each other, it was amazing and exciting and scary, and neither of us knew what to do next; we hadn’t even really physically met yet, after all. When we did meet, a few months after admitting that something was going on, it was even more amazing, exciting and scary, but it was also perfect. If you’ve been reading this for awhile, you know the rest, of course.

Apart from this:

(50). When I was over in San Francisco in May, I asked Kate if she wanted to marry me. And she said yes.

And people say I can’t keep a secret. Guess what I’m going to be writing about next week.
