This is my version of the Jon and I story. You'll probably hear a thousand different versions. This, my friends, is my version.
I had seen Jon for the first time at the White Oaks competition. He was a 'male athletic supporter' there with the C.I Saints. Him and Leeroy first talked to me then and asked me my name, I said "Amanda" and then pretty much brushed it off. Lindsey from my team, had told me that their names with Leeroy and Keith.
I didn't give much thought to any of it for a long time because it was just 'some guy we met at competition'. I saw Jon again at Regionals on February 22nd (Babie's birthday!), yea, I did ignore him - for the second time.
I saw Jon again sometime in February when we went to cheer a Jr Basketball Game at C.I. I completely ignored him, practically pretended I didn't see him. I was very into cheerleading at that time, so things didn't enter my space.
On April 27th, it was the last day of Provincial competition in Kitchener. I saw Jon again and talked to him - finally. I whinned to him about how the mat was brutal and how I was tough. We met over my Asics cheer shoes. I was sure his name was Keith and made a blonde of myself when I found out it was Jon. There was still a connection between us though. My mom said I should get his e-mail address because he was thinking about transfering to HC for Football. So I got the address.
That first night, we talked on MSN for six hours. We talked about things that were bugging us and things we had in common. By the end of that conversation I was completely in like with Jon. A lot of my friends told me to take it slow, not to get caught up - that way I wouldn't get hurt if it didn't work out. But the more I talked to him the more I liked him. It was getting crazy.
Finally, Jon asked me to be with him. But I didn't feel right about it. That's the difficult Amanda shinning through. So I told him I would let him know when I was ready. On May 27th, exactly one month after officially meeting we began dating. I have been so happy being with him and I can't remember life before Jon. He helped me break down walls that stopped me from being really happy. I'm so in love with you babie. I can't wait to see what happens in the months (possibly years) to come.
