4...four...cuatro...

Four years ago tonight, Rick and I met for the very first time. We were introduced by Mandy and Josh, our respective best friends that were dating at the time. It's so much fun to remember what went on in the wee beginnings of our realationship.

We met at the Miss Hiram High Pageant (HAHAHAHA). I walked in, and could tell he was nervous... which made me feel a lot better because I was freaking out on the inside. (I didn't show that though) My mom was there, because she was ADAMENT about me not meeting anyone without her there... but we ended up sitting far away from her anyway, so it was ok.

I remember him being really quiet... but when he spoke, he was really funny. I remember thinking about how much he made me smile, and that still makes me smile today. He asked me for my number on a gum wrapper (that he still has)... and the rest is history!

The 25th will mark our four year anniversary. I can't believe it has been that long... but I am super excited about the next four... and the four hundred after that!

I love you Rick! Thanks for putting up with me this long! I couldn't have made it through the last four years without you! :)
