....and two kids later! Tomorrow, October 7th, is our 12th wedding anniversary. We have 37 more years to go to catch up to my Mom & Dad! I love weddings, don't you? That's me up there in my gown. I picked October because it's my favorite month here in Bucks County PA. Imagine falling leaves, pumpkins, crisp air. Ok, now hold onto that thought and then picture this: cold, dreary and raining on my wedding day. WHAA!
12 years have went so fast. We met when I was just 15 at our high school...he was a junior, I was a sophomore. It was after school and I had just finished cheerleading practice, and went to the snack shop, the wrestling squad was working the stand *UGH*. But there was a cutie behind the stand....I placed my order, cookies and a Pepsi (nice, huh?) The cutie, with his dark Italian skin and hair, said to me "You have the bluest eyes I have ever seen"... that was his pick up line, I guess. I giggled nervously with my girlfriends, I mean a junior was flirting with me! After that, I would see him around school and driving his red mustang in the parking lot, he would stare at me and 
I just melted. We dated the next year and then broke up for 4 years! I ran into him at the mall (of all places, I hate the mall) he was by himself picking up a tux for a friend's wedding, I was with my friend. I came down the escalator engrossed in conversation with her, and there he was standing at the bottom, waiting... he already spotted me before I saw him. I happened to glance down and he was leaning on the rail just looking up at me, like Rhett Butler did to Scarlett in that famous scene from Gone With The Wind. We went out for dinner that night and got engaged 3 years later. He is a alot like my Dad , charismatic, gentle, kind and strong at the same time, a wonderful husband and father to our babies. A girl always marries someone like their Daddy, don't they? I know I did and feel so blessed. I hope our girl does the same. 37 more years, here we come!~ xo
From driving a red mustang without a care in the world, to becoming a father of two:
