My husband and I go way back....our fathers are the same age, went to the same school and were friends. Our mothers went to the same school, lived by each other and their families were friends.

I always liked him (he is three years older then me) and I would leave notes in his locker, etc. We were different...I was honor roll, worked in the office, etc. He was not preppy or into sports, drove a big 4x4 and liked to party. We actually got together at a party...that I wasn't suppose to go to! The party was at a friends house and they had a big bonfire. I was sitting on the tailgate of his truck and he came over to talk to me. I about fall over. We have been together from that moment on.

He use to drive me to school, pick me up if he got off early, if he worked his normal hours, he would stop by my house and have dinner with us (just about every night). My parents just loved him and still do today. I am a Daddy's girl, always will be, but my Dad and my husband are great friends! Sometimes parents know who is right for their children.....just as we know that we are right for each other.

This year will be 13 years...very happy years. We love each other and the life we have together so much. We are like one person.....funny since we were so different in the beginning. We have only had one big fit in our 13 years and that was about 7 years into the marriage (maybe the 7 year itch). No biggie though!

He started out very romantic when we were dating (don't they all until they know you are theirs), but now, not so much....it isn't the matter of getting flowers, etc...I don't mind that because I am a very practical person that would rather have something for all of us to enjoy, then something that doesn't last....now, don't get me wrong, he has done things that have great meaning...he's just not the "bring home flowers for no reason" type.

Not to be too mushy, but we have fallen asleep numerous times holding hands! He was definitely the one for me! I thank the Good Lord everynight for this wonderful man and family we have.
