2 Years

2 years ago today I fumbled around for two hours as nervous as a little Kindergartner on their first day of school.
I tried on at least 50 different outfits, each time reconsidering and tossing it in a panic. My entire closet lay in crumpled mess on my bed.
When I finally settled on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, I still wasn't entirely sure it was the right one but I went with it anyway.
I re-checked my makeup for the third time just in case something might have smudged in the midst of all the shirts that were taken on and off and added some lip gloss.
I waited by the door for over a half an hour, he was late.
When I finally heard a knock at the door I took a deep breath, pulled myself together, and answered it with my feelings written all over my face: excitement, sincerity, nervousness, giddy....

2 years ago today my whole world changed.
2 years ago today I went on my first date with Nic.. my last first date.

It feels like it was yesterday... Wingers, put put golfing, King Kong, mint chocolate chip ice cream, and holdling hands for the first time.

Looking back I realized I had NEVER acted this way getting ready for any date in my whole life. I should have known with how nervous he made me, that he just might be the perfect person for me. The one who ignited that fire hidden inside of me and filled my stomach with butterflies.
I ate maybe 3 bites of my whole dinner because I was so nervous but somehow I felt completely full. I talked a mile a minute.. I'm not even sure he could get in a single word with all of my jabbering and yet somehow, the date ended with the promise of a second one :)

Since we got married I realized the time clock started over with May 21st but I know that for me, it began on September 13th and that day will always be a part of me, part of what I consider how many years we have spent together...

Happy 2 Years!!

You are my whole world and I've never been happier since the day I met you.

Love,
Your Wife
