Thirteen years ago, with a fake ID, I went out with some college girlfriends and noticed a guy. A guy who was completely caught up with his friends. And not even looking around. I needed to make that guy notice me. At the end of the night I got a little conversation, but nothing to great. Last call and lights came on, I was worried I would never see him again. I walked over to him and slipped my number in his back pocket. He was shocked but courtesy.
Twelve plus years ago, I went out with my girlfriends to a popular bar, we parked right next to two guys getting off their car. Once through the line and inside the "cute one" (sorry Danny) said some cheesy line to me. And we talked a bit, we found out that we worked at the same company and worked out at the same gym but had never seen each other.
At that point in the night I had to leave, I knew I didn't need to get his number because I "could and would" run into him again with this new information.
A month later I emailed him at work and a couple weeks later he "finally" asked me out. He teases me now about this story, but I don't mind I knew from the moment I saw him.
A couple months after our first date I told that I was that girl a year earlier who had slipped her number into his pocket. (STALKER!! yep yep)
I was sure but what I didn't know is what a great man, husband and father he would be. His values are so strong and that story seems like I knew exactly what I wanted but he is the one that truly knows exactly what he wants. He is commitment and determined and the complete opposite of lazy. He is passionate about so much including me, and making me and our family a priority.
He doesn't let me get lazy in love.
Eight years ago we married on a sunny brisk winter day, we spent 3 weeks in Italy for our honeymoon.
Saturday night we went out on the town, I love our anniversary being this time of year. The lights, the romance down town, we went to a new Italian restaurant and talked like a first date about everything and after dinner we went to a warm a cozy bar -a busy bar but it felt like we were the only ones there.
And last night for our anniversary we had a family date and we went roller skating.
Everything that we have been through has made stronger together.
We are still learning everyday how to love and lately we have been having a lot of success :) And it makes my heart happy and full.
Happy Anniversary!!
