13 Years ago today we became Man & Wife....

Today my hubby and I celebrate 13 years together. Humor me please as I share some thoughts and snapshots of our day back on February 26th, 2000. I was 22 and the hubs was 26. We meet on a blind date at a steakhouse in Selma, Alabama. I was attending college and one of my friends was married to my husbands best friend. She had been mentioning that she wanted us to meet each other. I didn't agree at the time because I was dating a church boy that went to the same church denomination a few miles away that I went to. Well, my friend and I graduated and found jobs at the same hospital. Some time later I broke up with the guy that I had been dating. Karen, my friend and I always ate lunch together and one day she bought up David's name again. I thought why not! I worked in the medical records department as physician liaison, so me being the little investigator that I am... looked up my hubs chart. I said to myself well he can't be too bad he has not had much in his medical chart. So we meet in August of 98. I have to admit that first date was not good. I didn't like him at all! Maybe it was the nerves but I thought please let me just get HOME! Well, my grandmother feel in love with him before I did and I think her prayers must of worked because it wasn't long till we were inseparable. My poor parents were so sick of him coming over to the house. They liked him but thought tapping on my window after he got off late at nights was uncalled for and they were highly upset when he had come over and slept on the couch when it was W2K for fear of what was going to happen. lol My poor dad didn't know until that next morning needless to say I was in TROUBLE! Well let me go ahead and let you see a glimps into our wedding day......
