15 years

I know some couples keep up with when they met and began dating as well as their wedding anniversary.  Michael & I have not done so well with that.  I recall meeting Michael after a Summer Theater production of "Meet Me in St Louis" while he doesn't recall meeting me until a month later at the first 5th Quarter of the school year.  (1994-1995 to be exact)  We met in July or August of 1994.

Saturday night, we were talking about different things and somehow landed on the subject of when we actually started dating.  Was it while we were in high school or was it the weekend he came to Florida after I returned from Ecuador?  Though we were good friends in high school and did many things together, we agreed that dating officially began after I returned from Ecuador.

Which means, this weekend marks 15 years since we began dating. 

Fifteen years of ups and downs, but I wouldn't change it.  I am so thankful for the time we have had together and I pray that we have many more years to go.
