July 13, 1996

10 years ago today was my first date with Wade. It's still a matter of debate if it was a real "date" or not. At the time, I considered it a night out with a good friend. When I showed up and realized his ENTIRE family was there for his dad's birthday party, I realized it was a little more than a friendly dinner.

Who knew that 2 months later we would officially start dating, 3 years later we would get married, and 10 years later we would be expecting a baby.

I'm amazed by how life progresses. There have been plenty of ups and plenty of downs throughout the last 10 years, but I can't imagine anyone else with me along the way.

I'm sure glad I said yes to that date. :)
