11 phenomenal years ago.....

So as many of you that know me and my husband you also know that we met long long time ago when we were 14. This weekend marks 11 years from when Blake and I met :) It was August 31 1997 which is also known for the weekend princess Diana died. It is crazy to think about how much we have been through apart and together. I remember this weekend in 1997 like it was just a week ago. He was soooo cute and he gave me butterflies every time he showed attention towards me that weekend. My mom could see it too because she tried to keep distances between us and my cousin Mikey was always getting jealous because the friend he brought to entertain him through the weekend of camping with family was off flirting with me ;)

I am sitting her wondering how to describe the love I have for the cute boy then in 1997 and my husband now of 4 blissful years. It is truly indescribable. I have wrote a poem to explain my love...


I love you.....

I love to see your smile,
I love to hear your laugh.
I love to feel your touch,
and being your better half.

I love all your kisses,
I love your simple touch,
I love your smell,
...god I love you so much!

I love your love for our children,
and to see you play with them.
I love to hear your voice
it's as beautiful as a gem.

Making memories together,
has became a joy to do.
I couldn't imagine living my life
with anyone else but you!
