When Ana and I first met, we were in math class. The way she won my heart is a classic tale of "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach." That way was with brownies. So she tempted me week after week with delicious love-filled brownies, after that we connected more and more. I won her heart by being silly and letting her open up slowly. I found out she was a silly girl who laughed at my stupid jokes which she still laughs at to this day! After a long year of laughing and getting to know each other we shared our first kiss and like the idiot that I am, I ran away. Far far away. She was so stunned she didn't know what to do after that day. We've connected over our love of movies, popcorn, and snuggles and that's where the nickname jer bear comes from because I was a big old bear and everyone loved me. Ana and I have been together for 11 years. We've been together through hard times and loving times and we hope to be together through even more. we have a loving hot dog together. Her name is Shadow. We have traveled to many places together. We love going camping, funny story about camping; we went camping, we mistakingly took only one blanket, (big mistake)! we walked to the bathrooms and Ana decided that she was too scared to walk in the woods alone, so I walked with her being the gentleman that I am. Ana decided to push me into the darkness of the woods because she said if a bear attacked I would be the one to defend her. Despite her need to put me in danger time and time again, we grew stronger together and now we live happily together with our hot dog and I love her so very much and I can't wait to grow old with her so she can laugh at my stupid jokes when I'm 90 years old.
