8 years already...so hard to believe.
But our time goes back to 1997 when we first met. He was my roommates cousin, and I thought he was sweet.
Time went on and we became friends, running partners then best of friends.
I'm glad we were friends first you learn so much honest truth about one another.
We finally started dating then became engaged.
2 years had gone by and we married on June 9, 2001.
I was 30 minutes late to my wedding, I was at my sister's house puking up a storm...I was so nervous.
Nick was waiting at the alter chewing his nails then a relative commented "runaway bride", he was then scolded by his mother..aye yay yay.
I arrived, Mario married us and put our hands together and told us we were now husband and wife.
To this day we haven't let go of one anothers hands.
Mushy as it may sound but its true.
I don't consider myself a romantic or anywhere near mushy but a fact is a fact.
We've seen heartache, sick babies, test and diagnosis after diagnosis trying to tell us why our son wasn't talking, melanoma scares, job loss, rock bottom.
But the whole time we never let one anothers hands go.
We just held on tighter.
Nick came home early the day before our anniversary, he had with him a little red box.
Now most girls get all giddy with a little box from Tiffany's, I get giddy with a little box from James Avery.
He bought me a beautiful anklet that matches my necklace he bought me for my first birthday celebrated together as a couple.
I love it.
We then ate dinner at a little Italian restaurant as a family, perfection.
Nick and I sat side by side and on the other side the boys whined and drove us insane. But I wouldn't of wanted it any other way.
To many more years, and through rough times to good times I will always be holding his hand.
Nick and I when we were just pals, we were out at a bar or club can't remember which.
Right after we married.
Our first dance.
Oh then came this little penguin 2 years later.
Then exactly a year after the first meatloaf came the second meatloaf.
We're done with Meatloafs and I am so grateful for what God has blessed us with.
A faith filled marriage, beautiful healthy children and one another.
Who could ask for more?
