Thank you for five unbelievably wonderful and unforgetable years together as husband and wife. You're my best friend in the whole world and I thank God every day that we found each other. :)
It was love at first sight... or at least a strong attraction on my part. :) I was 18, almost 19 years old and it was my first day at a new job at Barnes & Noble Booksellers... I'll never forget it... I was heading up the escalator to punch in for my first shift... and there he was... at the top of the stairs... dark hair... striking blue eyes... he was wearing black pants, white shirt with a tie underneath and a cream and blue and cranberry sweater (still sitting in our closet upstairs - I WON'T let him get rid of it!!). He stopped and looked at me... our gazes locked and I swear that at that moment time stood still.
Fast forward 5 years... our wedding day... June 16th, 2001. I was so happy that I was giddy. I didn't cry... didn't have a single tear in me. I just couldn't contain my happiness that day. Our wedding was just perfect.
3 1/2 years later Matthew came along... and I thought I was happy on my wedding day?? Mark and I still can't believe, after a year and a half, that we could love this little being we created together so much. And to think, we're going to have another little "us" to love in a month!
Corny, I know... :)
There are so many stories I could tell of the 10 years that we've been together... sad times, funny times, angry times... good times and bad... but I wouldn't trade any of those moments in for all the money in the world. He is my soul mate and I am the person I am today because of him. I often have trouble expressing my feelings... but I hope he realizes just how much he means to me. I just don't know what I would do without him... or who I would be today if I hadn't met him that day back in February '96.
