April 1st. We all know it as April Fools day, but as of April 1st 2008 it will be known as so much more to me. On this day I proposed to the girl of my dreams. This day really showed both of us how our relationship has come full circle.

It was nearly 10 years ago when it all started. Every year persians get out of the house and go to the park the sunday right after the 13th day following the Persian New Year. I was there with my family and friends and so was she. She spotted me from far away and I apparently caught her eye but we never talked that day. I was in a relationship at the time and she was a bit on the young side.

A few weeks later with the help of the ever popular AOL, Kimi, her sister, Donna, and I became chat buddies. Little did I know they knew exactly who I was but I had no clue as to who they were. So little by little the friendship grew, they came around my work a couple times and that was really it. As time progressed we all became closer and closer and the friendships grew.

We always had a playful and fun nature in our relationship that made us just get a long better than any other friend I had. Everyone used to tease us and say we should just get married all the time but we both just shrugged it off and said “OKAY”.

As the days and years past we both went through a period of liking each other at the wrong time. But everything happens for a reason. We might not know why things are happening but I firmly believe that they really do happen for a reason. Cutting to the chase the timing eventually found it’s way into both of our lives and we realized we had to give this relationship a try. We both were just too curious to not let it happen and see where it would go. We both understood that this relationship would not be a normal one if we started and we came in with a bit of fear.

It wasn’t always the smoothest ride at the beginning, but when you take the hardest roads then there is nothing that can stand in your way. At that point you realize that together you can accomplish anything. The bond only grew stronger and stronger which only gave us more confidence.

This leads me to where I stand today, engaged to the woman that makes me a better person in every way. She has been my eyes when I can’t see, the person that guides me when I am lost, and most importantly she is my companion when I am alone. There is nothing that I don’t think I can do when she is by my side. She is the one that makes me want to conquer the world and continue to grow as a person to be better each and every day for her.

If I look back on my past I would have never imagined I would be in this situation with this woman today. This situation that has made me feel so good inside each and every day that she is with me.

So I am sitting here today filled with so many emotions I can’t even describe how ecstatic I am about getting to start my life with the woman that I love. On April 1t, the holiday that everyone celebrates as a fool’s day, died in my eyes and will be only remembered for the day that my girlfriend Kimi became my fiance.

You wonder why I talk about full circle? Well April 1st is the 13th day after new years this year and this Sunday is the very festival at the park that we originally crossed paths. When you least expect it life takes you on a journey that will forever change your life. That journey has only started for me with my one true love. I have only started the engine, put it in first gear and have slowly started driving on the most amazing path with the best co-pilot in the world.

Of course this is cliff notes version of everything!
