20 Years

This Friday (in case I forget to post on Friday- which is highly likely!  HA!) will be our 20 year anniversary of being a couple!  Of course I have no pictures to post today.  I suck at that, and I am sorry!  We met on a blind date.  He was college roommates with my friend from high school.  I actually could have met him about a year before that when my high school friend invited me to go out for his 21st birthday party to a bar with a huge group of people.  I had a boyfriend at the time, and he was only 20, so he couldn't go.  So, I stayed home with him.  Anyways, I found out years later that my hubby was actually out with the group that night!  Dave and I grew up in Ohio about an hour away from each other, but met in Tucson at the University of AZ!  He was friends in college with a bunch of people that I went to high school with.  So at my 10 year high school reunion, he actually knew quite a bit of people there!

When I met him, I told him I was "career woman"....I was going to become a doctor (which I did), and I didn't want to get married or have kids.   His response?  "Ever???" 

Fast forward 15 years down the road....to 2008.......we have 3 kids, and I am begging him for a 4th!  LOL!  Never say never!  Ever!  :)
And.....I am unemployed~  a stay-at-home-mom!

That man can put up with me like noone else!  He is my rock.  Always is the voice of reason and calmness.

And the best part?  He is an amazing dad.  Even better than I dreamed he'd be!  My kids are so lucky that he is their dad.

Oh!  One more memory.  So when I turned 30, I finally felt that clock ticking...that urge to be a mommy.  And when it showed up, it was ticking very LOUDLY!  I remember tapping my watch and saying, "I want a baby!  Like 9 months from today!"   His response?  "I was ready 6 months ago!"

I'll see if I can cough up some pictures- circa 1993 by Friday!  :)
