So it is official, Facebook official that is. Mr. Facebook and I are now in a relationship on Facebook. Even thought we have dated for the past five months we haven’t announced our relationship technically to all my Facebook friends till last night.
It all took place last night when he came over my apartment for dinner. I wanted to do something special for him since he just got a new job. Thus to celebrate I cooked him one of his favorite meals, pot roast. We sat down and had an awesome dinner together (with music in the background, per his suggestion).
I was really excited because I had been wanting to give him this painting of Chicago. And I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to do so. And if you know me, you know I can’t keep gifts very long. I think that is why I’m such a last minute shopper. Anyway, I wanted to surprise him and get it framed. But after running to hobby lobby earlier that day, I found out they didn’t have the frame I wanted in stock. Bummed out… I figured I would have to wait a little longer before I could give it to him.
Now Mr. Facebook has already seen the painting around my apartment because he saw me paint it. But it just so happen last night right after dinner Mr. 
Facebook asked what I was planning to do with the Chicago painting. I just smiled at first because I knew my plans I had to give it to him already. So in the heat of the moment I just blurted out it is for you. Not a very romantic way to give a gift or a painting for that matter. But I was so excited to give it to him and he was already calling me out on it, I just couldn’t help myself. He got this huge grin on his face and expressed how appreciated he was for the gift. The only reason I painted the skyline of Chicago was so I would give it to him. Besides it just wouldn’t feel right giving it to anyone else. I think Chicago holds a certain place in our hearts because that was our first road trip together. When I see that painting it reminds me of what a wonderful time we had.
After cleaning up the dishes together, we sat down to watch a movie on tv and browse the internet on our laptops. Granted normally we never do this but I’m practically glued to my laptop so it doesn’t help things much. To much of my surprise I got a relationship request when I logged in on my Facebook account. At first I had no idea who had just relationship requested me but then I saw it was him. With him looking over my shoulder, he said, “I did that before dinner.” Which my reply was, “Really now.”
I was just one happy girl, all I did was smile like a goof ball and of course I accepted. Seriously why was I so happy about a Facebook relationship request? I mean we had been calling each other bf and gf for a while now but that was to our close friends that we talk to all the time. But I guess now it was just like he was claiming me in the internet world and he didn’t care who knew.
So go tell your friends, family and everyone you know Mr. Facebook & Circle City Girl are officially a “thang.”
