32 years.

I met a boy when I was seventeen years old. 

A mutual friend set us up on a blind date. 

I didn't really want to go, but reluctantly agreed. 

That blind date, turned into a second date, then a third, we fell in love, and well, five years later I married that boy.

We bought a house, had three kids, tried to raise them up to be the best they could be, and sent them out into the world. 

Now we are back to just the two of us again. 

 

You and me. 

Today marks thirty two years married, and a little more than 37 years together.

Still in love, and best of all, still in like.
