Today is the ten year anniversary of our first date.
November 10, 2000.
I was inspired by
Pioneer Woman to write our love story. While I'm not going to share it on this blog (it is many, many pages) I think there will be a place for it in our family history book someday. There are so many tiny tidbits that I remembered as I was writing it...
...the first conversations...
...the first date...
...the first kiss...
...the first time I met his family...
...the first Christmas when he met my family...
...when my friends from work thought I was iNsAnE for agreeing to be his date for a wedding in his hometown (now OUR town) just two weeks after our first date...
...when he told me it took two months to get up the nerve to ask me on a date...
...how he worked in my hometown for three months the summer before we met...
...the fun memories of care-free college life together...
...how we were mostly inseperable from our second date until his college graduation...
There are so many more details in the story that make me smile and hopefully, will make Brent smile when I give it to him as a gift. Maybe it will spark some of his thoughts that I can add to the story.

Life has changed dramatically since that first date. We have been so blessed in soooo many ways. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't thank God for my husband, my best friend. God could not have created a better partner for me and I love him more each day.
