Happy Anniversary!

Seven years ago today, I had my first date with the guy who I would one day join in wedded bliss.

January 2004, one month after our first date

Our first date didn't go as planned thanks to Mother Nature.  A snow storm caused our first "real" date to be delayed.  Instead we watched Willie Wonka & the Chocolate Factory at my parents' house.  As Michael left, he got his Ford Mustang stuck in my parents' driveway.  As embarrassed as he was, he asked me out again a couple of days later.

Even now, seven years later, I still feel like the same 17 year old girl from that first date.  Every single day is a blessed adventure.

I love you, Michael!
