| Our first picture as an official couple - August 2001 Yes, his hair was bleach blond and I still dated him...we were in college, who knows?? |
Ten years ago, M and I officially became a couple. I was 19, and he had just turned 21. I was going into my second year of college, and he was starting his third. It was before 9/11. It was before everyone had cell phones. It was before facebook and blogging, and real jobs and adult responsibilities. We were pretty innocent, and we really just wanted to have fun. (Duh, we were 19 and 21!)

| Halloween 2001 He was a made up superhero "Duct Tape Man." I found a cheap bumble bee costume. |
When we met, I never thought that he would be the person I would spend the rest of my life with. We were both very into partying at the time, and I didn't think I could meet "the one" at a beer-fueled college kegger. The night we met, something just clicked. I could just talk to him. Before we knew it, everyone else had gone to bed, the sun was coming up, and we were still talking on a ratty couch in his basement.

| On a camping trip in Door County - Summer 2003 |
We've certainly been through a lot in 10 years. A year into our relationship, I left for Spain for 5 months. The distance sucked, but it definitely made us stronger. When I got back, I knew that I never wanted to be away from him like that again. We've been with each other through ups and downs, but one thing that M says is that the good days have always outnumbered the bad ones. Any rough patches have always just brought us closer together and made us a team.

| Our wedding - Fall 2005 |
We kind of grew up together. I feel lucky that we still want the same things together that we did 10 years ago. A lot changes in your 20s, and we've made it though all of those changes as a couple. In the past two years since we decided to add to our family, we've really had to be there for each other. The number of good days keeps growing.
