18 years

Happy Anniversary to me and Tim! 18 years ago we started dating. Why, I have no idea! Wait, yes I do...but remember I was 17 when we started dating so my list wasn't that deep!
  • He was funny (still cracks me up)
  • He was fun (still is)
  • He was cute (much more handsome now)
  • He was sweet to me (hadn't had a lot of that up to that point)
  • He gave AMAZING hugs (they are still the best)
  • He was carefree (still has that spirit to push me to not get bogged down)
  • He went to church (and now it's really important to him)
  • He had wheels (I have my own now, but still love to have him drive me around)
  • He made me feel safe (something I still get from him)
  • He respected me (probably more so now)
  • He wasn't pushy (I value my independence)
  • He liked me for me (what more could a girl ask for?)
That's just why we started dating before I really knew him, but I'm so glad I took that chance, even though I was a little bit scared. He was older than me, already graduated, while I was a young senior and felt very innocent and thought he wasn't (rumors in high school are horrible things!).

So strange to think that decision I made when I was 17 was so profound-it altered the course of my life. Can't imagine where I would be without him. Happy 18 years baby!
