My memory isn't what it once was (I think), but who can remember? (pause for groan)
In the distant past, way back during Canada Day 2002 I went out downtown with a bunch of friends and friends of friends. It was fun. It might have rained briefly. There was a cute girl there (friend of a friend) that was really funny. I talked to her and disappointingly found out that she was going back to school in London ON to finish. I didn't want a long distance relationship otherwise I would have asked her out.
The next spring I headed over to my friend's place to watch playoff hockey. A cute girl that was really funny asked to sit beside me and we chatted and joked about things like solo synchronized swimming and the challenges of that. I was not so suave as to ask out this funny girl at the time, so I got her email and typed out a stammering email asking her out to "coffee or something". Thankfully this girl checked her spam folder because that's where the email ended up. (spam detection wasn't very good in the distant past). We went out and saw Finding Nemo which would become part of a long tradition of watching kids movies for dates.
And now, approaching 10 years of marriage, 14 years of dating, 15 years of knowing each other, a house, 3 beautiful children and more lego than Laura would ever imagine herself owning, we are here. It's a good place to be.
