It must be fate!

Jon and I met on the subway in 2006, during the Boston Marathon. His dad was running the marathon and my college roommate was running the marathon. I got separated from my friends on the subway and ended up standing next to Jon. We stared talking and soon found out that we were both from Michigan. My friends and I invited him to join us later on to go out that night. He accepted. We actually ran into Jon again on the subway on our way to dinner. We went our seperate ways and eventually met up later that night. My friend Jessica invited Jon to follow us back the next day on our drive back to Michigan.
And, yes... I rode with Jon from Boston back to Michigan, a very enjoyable 12 hour car ride, with my friends near by in their car.
Ever since then we have been in love.
