Uno

Almost five years ago I was set up on a blind date with the son of my mother's co-worker. I was instantly smitten with this young man. He did not share the same feelings. Our high school years went by and we built up a firm friendship, seeing each other once every few months.


This young man decided to serve the Lord for two years. He visited me the week before he left. We shared a few short hours of laughter and good conversation. I wrote him on his mission, every few months or so. Just enough to keep each other updated on our lives. He served and learned a lot. I schooled and learned a lot.

When he returned, I was sure to be at his home coming. I slipped him my number as we said our goodbyes that day. And FINALLY, the young man was as equally smitten with me, as I was with him.

Three short months later we were engaged. Four very long months later we were married.

And now here we are babe. One year down. I wouldn't trade these past 12 months for anything. I've never laughed so hard or loved my life so much. You constantly build me up and your words and support give me so much strength.

Happy Anniversary Jackson Parker!!! I love you, darling. OK:)
