10 years ago today I had a first date. It was not a typical first date, because I had been friends with the person for a number of years and we had recently just decided to see what would happen if we tried something more. He was in love with me, I knew that, and I knew I could so easily fall in love with him, if I would just let myself.
I did. And it was the best, most terrifyingly right thing I ever did.
Doug, Thank you for cutting through all the crap and just getting me, the real me. For the good and the bad, for the fun and the not so fun, for the exciting and the mundane, and for everything in between.
Thank you for changing my life in both measurable and immeasurable ways. I love you.
10 Years

Wow, that’s a GORGEOUS picture of you three! Awesome! I hope you have it framed somewhere in your house.
Happy Anniversary! We have to celebrate the anniversary of our first “date” kinda quiet, because we don’t want to cause our babysitter to get all caught up in painful past thoughts and not want us around anymore. We passed 17 years at the end of this past September.
