Six Years And Counting...

It was 6 years ago this weekend (or some time very close to this weekend) that we met for the first time.  Some days it seems as if we've known each other forever and some days as if it's only been days.

Although we met at the end of January/beginning of February we didn't have our first date until February 16, 2008.  Yes, I remember the day.  I know exactly what I was doing that day too before our first date.  I had taken my car to Jiffy Lube for an oil change, the car the my now husband would start to call the "mini-van".  To be clear, it was a Suzuki XL-7; not a mini-van; but in his defense it did have three rows of seats (mind you I was SINGLE, who needed this big thing).

I just quized the husband on the date; he was a week off.  Then I reminded him when Mardi Gras was that year.  We met, he called, he went to Mardi Gras, he called again, we finially scheduled a date.

We've been through a lot together in the past six years...

  • I finished school (I think) - last class of my bachelors, all of my masters and then my post master certificate course have all taken place (not to mention the 6 classes I had to take at the community college between the undergrad and grad school stints)
  • We've moved...a few times each.  I went from North Hills to Fontana to Rancho Cucamonga then finally to our first condo in La Verne to now our own home in La Verne.  He went from Apartment in La Verne to Condo in La Verene to condo together in La Verne and finally our own home.
  • Um...like I just said we bought a house.  We were those crazy people that decided it was a good idea to buy a house right before our wedding.  We bought out house March 20, 2013 and moved in over Easter weekend.
  • We've traveled together to San Francisco, Scottsdale, Denver, Las Vegas, Reno, Montana, Jamaica, St. Martin and the plane we were on stopped in Puerto Rico.
  • I've become the #1 Kansas Jayhawks basketball fan and Denver Bronco's fan.
  • He's learned to love Angels Baseball
  • He's moved up in his Company
  • I've changed jobs (closer to home)
But most importantly, we got married.  We became our own family of two.  We've started our own traditions.  We've created a home.  We fell so in love.
