Our Day of Love

Valentine's Day is referred to as the Day of Love. And for us, it truly is.  Four years ago today Eric took me out on our first date. I never expected that one date to become my forever, but oh how thankful I am that it did.    It is crazy to think that we have spent four years together. And I know as each new year is added to the count, it will continue to feel this way. But for now, I am going to mini freak out about four years. We have been through so much- good and bad, happy and sad. The journey it took to become husband and wife was a challenge alone. But countless blessings have came from that challenge.  Relationships have been strengthened and personally, I grew a lot as an individual, as a woman, as a wife.  The transition in every step of our relationship has taught me so much about love, compassion, and compromise.  


Eric took me on our first date, and he never had to fear me rejecting a second date. I knew then that there was something special about this man.  Call me crazy, but three weeks later when I first told Eric I loved him, I knew he would be my husband.  Our love began at Belle Arti over a fancy, expensive dinner that I hardly ate because I was too picky.  Nine months later, I stood in the same place and promised to be his forever.
