10 Years and 10 Days Ago...

...I married my best friend. Literally!  We meant in college in the summer of 1992 and at first, I didn't like him.  Don't get me wrong, I thought he was cute, but he was cocky and thought he knew more than everyone else---in my opinion, anyway.   We butted heads.  Then one day, we started talking, just the 2 of us and I thought he was easy to talk to a much different on a one on one basis.  Freshman year started and we were inseperable...we were the best of friends and even referred to each other as "confidant".
On April 19, 1994, our Sophomore year, we went from best friends to boyfriend and girlfriend.  Everyone thought we were a couple anyway, so it was no surprise.  We survived college and a long distant relationship and decided to move in together in August, 1998.   In November 1999, he asked me to marry him and we became husband and wife on our 8th anniversary, April 19, 2002. 

 

We have been married for 10 years,  together for 18 years.  That's almost half our lives!!  It has been a crazy rollercoaster ride.  We've had our good times and bad, we're making it through parenthood and dual careers, but through it all, we still have each other.
