Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary, best friend, beloved handsome partner in parenting...

I'm thinking back to my arrival for my first day as the new-hire Applebee's waitress. I walk in, have no idea what do with my cute self and lay eyes on a tall handsome bartender in a burgandy shirt. (I even remember the shirt color!). You were tanned, freckled, charming - mixed with a smidge of goofy. Then you clocked off and went home - but the impression had been made.

Many chance flirts happened throughout that summer (and I am NOT even going to remind you that I HAD a boyfriend). But the free shakes, chance harassment at the bar, and the invitation to join you {And Danielle} for darts/beers sealed it.

And ten years after that summer, we have a daughter and a pretty darned enviable life together. And that is pretty fantastic.

You are fantastic... & I love you! ~S
