6 Years Ago

6 years ago today I was a junior at Roncalli. About 4 months prior I met this incredibly nice, way-too-good-looking-to-be-in-my-league guy at work. I talked about him all the time- I'm sure I was pretty annoying to all of my friends actually, since it was THEM who finally called HIM and got me our first date.

6 years ago today that boy and I went to the mall to get some last minute Christmas shopping done. We got each other our first gifts to one another (I got him a hoodie, I got an outfit- both from Pacific Sunwear...how many years has it been since I've been in that store?!). When the mall closed we walked around outside, it was cold and there was snow on the ground. We ended up sitting in the bus stop- this was before they had the fancy "bus depot" they have now. We met the crazy lady who told us to never leave home without a knife, and just enjoyed the night.

After acting a bit nervous he asked me to be his girlfriend, with the premise that he'd be leaving in the summer, but we could see where this led. In our heads, neither of us really thought it would last more than a few months anyway.

Obviously, we couldn't have been more wrong.



Even though this is no longer our "anniversary", it's still an anniversary of sorts. It's the day we decided to try, and so to me, it will always be a special day. I love you, Adam! :D


The very first picture ever taken of us together, at Village Inn after the play- hence my crazy makeup and scrubby clothes!

Me

I'm a newlywed with a love for the little things in life- sipping a cappuccino at a local coffee shop in the sunshine, art that seems to make no sense, the smile my husband gets sometimes when I catch him watching me, the cool breeze in the fall when the leaves are changing, my dog when she has somehow manages to wedge herself under my hand and I find myself petting her unknowingly, the smell of freshly cut grass, the sounds of the ocean, taking photos of instances you can never get back. I feel too much about things but may not always say it. I adore my mother. You'll find I take a lot of pictures. La vita รจ bella.
