When Ashley met Andy Pt.1

We'll start at the most obvious place of the family story, whenI first met Andy.
It was Januaryish 2007 when he found me on a dating website- yes, I used one simply because I was looking for validation. I didn't think any "normal" person would ever like me.
We talked a few times but never really got close or connected in any way until one day in mid February. I just randomly said hi again and that was all she wrote. We talked several times a day after that.
I was ready to meet him and convinced him to come to ISU to meet me on March 2, 2007. I told him to meet me outside the gates to the residence hall I lived in- safe, right? So, anyways, he showed up just when he was supposed to but I almost kept walking when I saw him- he looked like a 40 year old virgin rapist HAHA. (Sorry Andy...I love you!!) I didn't, though. I invited him up to my room- even safer, I know! Whatever happened that day- I won't be sharing details- made me smitten.
He went home and I thought for sure he would never come back to see me. Thankfully, I was wrong :) In April I had a 10 page presentation I had to give in a class and I was a procrastinator-wating until the night before it was due to do 90% of it. I had to stay up all night and Andy stayed up with me that entire night. He was my cheerleader <3. That night was the night that I realized I loved him.
The next year was filled with every other week visits and tons of phone calls. In April of 2008, I decided I didn't want to continue on with my education- a choice I now regret but it's too late.
Andy talked to his dad and due to the conditions of the house my parents live in, he let me move to his house- it was supposed to be temporary...
