Big Last Day of September

Today, two years ago, is the day that I met Big for the second time. We first met first about a year and a half before that when he was actually sort of dating a friend of mine. We went out to a Rob Thomas concert on Mud Island during a winter month (not sure which) and froze just about to death. While we conversed then back and forth, there was a connection that even my friend couldn't deny. She has always said that he was my type and never was hers to begin with.
We reunited at a cook out that some of his friends were having a couple of years ago. At the time, another of my friends was dating a friend of his. She dragged me out of my house where I had been pent up for some time due to a slight bout of depression after a nasty break-up and a bad one-night-stand type of experience. After he called and coaxed me into going I ended up having a great time. The attraction was an instant type of friction that just swirled around us. Funny to me now, thinking back, how natural it all felt even though I was in a strange environment with strangers. Now here I am all this time down the road and it's really hard to imagine my life without him in it everyday. He has been a true friend along with a great companion for the last little bit of my life. He calms me down in a way that I have yet to even understand. I just feel safe and secure when he is in the room with me and there is nothing quite like it.
My hope is that he thinks of me the way I am thinking of him right now and remembers all of the good times that we have had. I am wishing for many more to come.

This weekend is the National Event here at Memphis Motorsports Park and I am going to get to share my family's passion with Big, finally. There was a line in Speed Racer the movie where they are trying to explain racing to an outsider. The mom said that it was like a religion, and this is for certain when referring to our family. It is in our blood and nothing excites me more than to share it with someone new that has never experienced the smells, sites, food, and the noises. Sounds so loud that they can shake your insides. Can't wait!
Until next time, happy last day of September
