Steve and I met ten years ago this spring. We were friends, part of a group, and although I thought he was terrific, I never expected to fall in love with him.
August 2002 |
We went to the beach later that summer, again with lots of friends. We held hands for the first time as we ran across Ocean Boulevard in a rain storm. I never expected that I'd end up reaching for his hand for the rest of my life.

We spent lots of time together and I came to find out that Steve is the real deal. He says the truth, all the time, and is totally comfortable being himself. The more I knew about him, the more I wanted to know. I never expected I'd get to know him better than anyone else.

By the time we actually started dating, I was all in. I think we both were. All my life, I thought that the proper "formula" was to date someone for several years before deciding if you wanted to marry them. I never expected to be jumping-out-of-my-skin ready to accept a proposal after just one year of dating.
April 2004 (yes, we are sleeping in pews- it's a long story) |
I never expected to find someone I felt so at home with. I never expected that I'd get so much time with just Steve, just us two. I never expected that I'd be able to chase my dreams faster with someone to run by my side.

I never expected this much joy.
We're leaving for the beach today to celebrate seven years of joy. I've got a few posts scheduled for while we're gone and I'll be back to share pictures next week! Hope you have a great one!
happy 7 years!
