nine years ago...
the story of our love began.
it was then that we noticed each other.
learned about one another.
went for walks in the park.
rubbed our noses together.
ate at the cheesecake factory more times than we could count.
talked about our future.
who would have thought...
nine years ago...
the dreams that would come true...
the plans that would fall apart...
the faith that we'd instill in each other...
nine years.
it feels like forever ago.
we must have been just kids.
but we knew...
we knew.
this was for the long haul.
still learning about each other.
still talking about our future.
cherishing our perfect child...
and our second, who is close to it...
dreaming things.
hoping together.
nine years ago,
our stories collided...
and it was then we started collecting memories of our own...
collecting the souvenirs of our life...
...of our love for each other.
nine years ago,
a shy boy with hands in his coat pockets asked me out "just us".
nine years ago,
a loud girl said, "yes"
nine years ago,
we went on our last first date...
and nine years later...
it's still just as good.
Oh, boy! Not smart to be eating a bagel while reading your post, Jaclyn! I got choked up and then REALLY choked!
