Oh my. I just realized that in the fall it will be twenty years that I have known my husband. Eek.
Fall 1987 - He was a long-haired, bearded, pot-smoking slacker who hit on me unmercifully. I politely ignored his flirtation for two semesters. The next school year my Pell grant was cut in half so I had to take a year off of school to work. Fast forward to.....
Fall 1989. I went back to school and met this very clean-cut, good looking serious student. He was hot. Wait a minute! It was the long-haired, bearded, pot-smoking slacker all grown up! We started going out in September 1989.
Fall 1991 - we both were accepted to the same graduate program and moved in together.
December 1992 - he romantically pops the question! I accept.
August 1993 - we elope after months of dealing with pesky mother-in-law wedding drama. She still forced us to have a reception and I didn't know most of the people at my own wedding reception.
March 2000 - after three years of trying to become parents baby girl #1 is born. It was a beautiful day.
April 2002 - we welcome baby girl #2. Another beautiful day!
August 2007 we will celebrate 14 years of wedded bliss!
