Happy Anniversary...sort of

Today is the 8 year anniversary of David and my first date. I still remember David coming over to my house and telling me he couldn't get a date for his high school Valentine's dance. He had placed a poster in the lunchroom that said, "If you want a date to the dance, call David Lane" and had his telephone number. :) I advised him to just ask someone, and I was certain he could get date. Then he nonchalantly suggested that I could go with him. So I said I would. The day before the dance he came to see me at work and ask if I wanted to go to dinner with him before the dance. I said that would be fine. He came to pick me up in his mom's Lexus, and I was dressed to kill in a sequined, tiger print, asymmetrical dress from Cache. We went to dinner at the Courthouse Cafe. He was such a gentleman the whole evening. We had a great time dancing the entire night. I remember getting jealous when one of his female classmates came and sat in his lap "complaining" that her boobs were falling out of her dress! I also remember us trying to make his ex-girlfriend jealous, which worked all too well and would later backfire more than I ever could have imagined! Who would have guessed that going on that date would lead to us dating for 6 years and then getting married? I had no idea, but I am so glad that I went.




I know the math is not that difficult, but in two more years it will be a decade since our first date! I still own the dress that I wore, although it does not look quite as good as it did back then. I am making it a personal goal to be able to wear that dress (and look good in it) two years from now, on the 10 year anniversary of our first date! Wish me luck. :)
