Today is our 2 year wedding anniversary! I feel excited and happy...I can't wait to give David his gift. I think he'll be surprised. I Know he's not reading this right now because he's probably already left work and coming home to get ready to go out. But lets just say its the nicest gift I've ever purchased for him.
David and I lived 4 hours apart when we met. I always believed that when I met the right person I would just know without being able to explain why. I had dated a lot of different types of guys and no 0ne ever fit me just right. Even when they seemed to fit "by the book" I just knew deep in my heart there was something more I was looking for.
The first time I saw David he was still in college and was up on the stage hosting a talent show "David Letterman" style. I was sitting in the front row. I just remember taking note of how charming and charistmatic and FUNNY he was. What would I have done if someone had come up and whispered in my ear, "You are going to be married to that guy some day!" We were never introduced that night although we both noticed each other across the room after the show. It was later that my little brother set us up on a blind date when I was back down in Ohio visiting their college. It was all down hill from there. Head over heels in love. can't eat can't sleep can't breathe i'm going to die without you why do you live so dang far away??????!!!!!!! We drove the 4 hours to see each other when we could. Spent hours on the phone. Wrote letters. Lots of letters. I still have them all in saved away in a box. This photo is from the 2nd weekend he ever came up to visit me. We were taking one last walk before he had to go get in his car and drive back. We went in the field behind my house. And when he kissed me he held up the polaroid camera. Its always been one of our favorites.
Our love story continued on for 3 and a half years before the stars finally aligned and allowed for us to get married. We both cried like babies through the whole ceremony. I just remember being so thankful that we were finally going to be together forever without living in different states and talking on the phone and desperately trying to hang on to each other through all the distance and obstacles life threw at us.
Happy Anniversay, babe!!! I love you so much. There is no one who could ever fit me better. You are everything I was looking for and you continue to be an amazing husband and best friend.
Happy 2nd Anniversary Amy & David...many more to come!
