Prologue
This twitterive is about me and my boyfriend and takes place at Filomena's restaurant in Berlin, New Jersey. I chose this place because it is where my boyfriend asked me to be his girlfriend and we revisited it this Valentine's Day. The story takes place now, as I reflect back on the first time we went. This place brings me back to the beginning of my relationship when we were in the "honeymoon" phase. I feel that even though we had known each other for a year before he asked me to be his girlfriend we still experienced that "honeymoon" phase.

Dear Journal,
He said he was going to take me out on Thursday night for Valentine's Day. I thought that was a little early (since Valentine's Day is not til Monday), but I went with it because he is good with that romantic stuff. Today he tells me that the roof of the place he wanted to take me to caved in and we can't go until March. This sucks, I was looking forward to the surprise. He told me not to worry though cause he has a back up plan. He told me we are going to Filomena's for dinner on Saturday. He told me to wear the same outfit as the last time we went and we will order the same food. I can't wait!!

We walk in to the restaurant and we sit down and staring us in the face is the booth we sat in on our very first date. That booth has so many memories. As our feet get tangled under the table we remember that night.
Julianne: "I used to go to high school with her (our waitress)."
Darren: "That's cool."
Julianne: "I know."
Darren: "That's cool."
Julianne: "I know."

Dear Journal,
I just got home from my first date with him. It was so romantic even though I drove. I could tell he was nervous from his laugh, but it was kind of cute. He finally asked me to be his girlfriend, and he did it in the nicest way. Before desert he came over to my side of the table, he told me to close my eyes as he placed a locket around my neck. He got it engraved with my initials and everything, now all I need is a picture. He makes me laugh and we get along so well, I hope we can make it last.

As he placed the necklace in my hand my
Body warmed as the
Cold silver touched my palm but no
Doubts went through my mind as I
Excitedly said yes

Dear Journal,
The night was amazing. I couldn't ask for a better boyfriend or a better date. The only food we ate that was the same was the cheesecake. It is hard to say no to cheesecake. The best part of the night was the live band playing Lady Gaga's Poker Face as we were leaving. I can't wait for the rest of my Valentine's weekend and life with him.
