Remember the Alamo

I am so proud to have a hard working husband; it makes life a little easier. He's not only hard working but he must be smart as well, because he chose an awesome company to work for. They are always doing amazing things for their employees; we just found out that they're sending us to San Antonio. I've never been and I'm soo excited! We wouldn't be able to go if it weren't for his great team, they all work so hard. I think that it's a rare thing in life to find something you enjoy doing and then get paid to do it. It's not like everyday is a picnic, but for the most part, he's there because it's where he wants to be. Last year they sent us to Las Vegas and it was one of the most amazing trips I've ever been on.

Anyways it's almost Valentines day, but we already did our 'thing' yesterday, I sent him a huge jar of "hot mama's" and we had heart shaped pizza the girls loved it. He gave me one of my all time favorite movies "Goonies" I was cleaning the garage when I found a box of old pictures of us, we had fun looking through them and remembering.

It was Feb 12, 2000 when we first met. I had no clue that I was meeting my future husband; I didn't even think I was going on a date at all. My friend wanted to go to the movies with her current crush and some of her co-workers and their friends; she thought it would fun so she invited me to go along as well. I didn't think too much about it when I first saw him, I had been reading a book from church about no more dating (go figure), but he seemed nice and was very easy to talk to. We sat next to each other in the movie theater and we kept talking through the whole movie. (I later found out that's one of his pet peeves) I noticed he had the most amazing smile and I loved his laugh, it was so contagious. He came over to my house on Valentines day, because he was," in the area." Which was true, because his grandma lives just down the road from my parents. After that day I was totally head over heels for him. I can't believe it's been 8 years; I still get butterflies when he smiles at me. We were looking at pictures from when we first met, it's crazy how young we were, and the insane things we did to spend time together, and still do.
