A long time ago, way back when

Posted on by

Today, my beloved Fishdog and I are celebrating our 13th wedding anniversary.


Here’s how I met my perfect man…

The prologue to our story is that I dated a boy off and on for 4 years. It turned into a fairly unhealthy relationship. Basically, we became so used to each other, it was hard to imagine not being together. And, I realized that at 23, I was way too young to be settling. So, I kicked him to the curb.

Fast forward 3 months. The ex is pseudo stalking me. I’m on a date with a bartender and the ex shows up. I’m thinking, Wow, could this get worse?

No. It got better.

In walks the Fishdog. When I first saw him, I thought maybe it was the hangover causing all that woo-woo stuff going on inside me. It certainly wasn’t my date who was doing that to me. And the only feelings I had about my Ex at that time aren’t printable.

But, everytime I looked at this new guy, the woo-woo stuff happened.

I find out he’s one of my college buddy’s oldest friends. He had just graduated from college and had moved back into Little Rock.

He and I chatted for a while that night and when I left, I told my friend that he was the man I would marry.

And 15 months later, I did.

  6. Yeah, I had great boobs. (note the word HAD in that sentence)

    OH, and a waist. I had a waist. Sigh.

    Thanks for the well-wishes guys. We were pretty darn cute, despite the fact it was the early 90s and the picture shows it! LOL

    Unfortunately I don’t remember all of the wedding details.
    I do remember a bottle of tequila (in the church)…

  15. Do you think it’s a coincidence that we both posted pics of cake today? Yes, I know that’s not really the main subject of your picture but work with me.

    HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
