The first taste!

Here I am blogging.  I have two friends who have told me I simply must start blogging.  Now I can say "I'm one of those people!"  I shouldn't knock them since they might be the only ones reading this.  

If we are to start a story I guess it's best to begin at the beginning....  

    I'm Joe.  31 and live in Madison, WI.  I moved here from Milwaukee about 1 year and 9 months ago.  I met my bf, Jason, about a month after I moved here.  He is the best thing ever to happen to me.  How did we meet?  Good question....  I went out on a limb in my new city.  On my own!  No friends, no ride home, no way out!  Kidding, but I did go on my own.  I was to meet a guy who DJs at club 5.  I didn't want to be his groupie, and he looked like he was busy... so,  I did what every GWM does in this situation... Drink and Dance.  Jason was cute.  He was on the dance floor wearing a pair of camo cargo pants, big shit kicker shoes and a wool turtle  neck sweater.  It was September 29th and still kinda warm out.  My first words to him were...  "Arn't you hot??"  Just then I got a phone call.  It was my friend Brad.  Brad never calls me so, I thought it must be urgent.  I ran out the  front door to take the call.  I don't even remember what it was all about.  I just wanted to get back inside to the boy I was dancing with.  When I walked back in, Jason was standing there.  I asked him if he was leaving.  He said "No"  and I knew he was interested.  I said "lets go do a shot!"  I drank way too much and I didn't have a ride home.  I was willing to take a cab but Jason offered to take me home.  I didn't know that he meant tomorrow.  I spent the night with him.  NO SEX!  Partly cause I was too drunk.  He did take me home and when I asked the dreaded question of "When will I see you again?"  He replied with a smile and said "Tonight, I'll come over with a bottle of wine!"  

  That was a year and 8 months ago.  We have come so far.  We live together in a fantastic house.  We are renting for the moment.  We have a kitty.  Minerva.  She is the love of my life.  This past weekend we had my parents spend Saturday night and Sunday here.  It was my mom's b-day weekend.  Jason's Dad joined us.  He is great!  He blew me away with he current offer to put up the down payment on a house for Jason and I.  

     I consider myself very lucky.  I'm starting a new job next monday.  The summer is looking to be a great one.  We have a lot of great friends to share and be thankful for.  I'm looking forward to blogging more and more.  I hope you want to read it all!
