How it all began. ( I have the flu, so I hope I do this justice)
I have known Andy since I was about 14 years old. He was good friends with my brother Brian and we also had a few mutual friends. He would come over to the house to see Brian and end up talking to me instead when Brian was at work. So, we became friends and as I got a little older we would see each other out more often.
In January of 1992 he stopped by and we decided to hang out together. We rode around town for awhile and went back to his apartment. We talked and talked with such ease and had so much in common. We kissed a lot that night and then he asked me if I wanted to go shopping with him out of town the next day! Perfect for me! From that moment on, we were inseparable! We would pull over on the side of the road numerous times on the way home from a date and kiss a lot! Then I would call him (before cell phones) before I went to sleep.
He is someone that I never thought of dating. But you see, we didn't date...we fell in love. We fell in love through a wonderful friendship. We built trust and forgiveness at a slow pace.
Here's us in 1992 and yes, it's perfectly okay if you are laughing hysterically at our hair. =0)

Don't share the flu with your husband :) Difficult to do when you kiss a lot, I know.
