8 years

I went on my first date with E eight years ago today.  We went, along with some co-workers, to Great Adventure.  The day involved rides, ice cream, fun, massive headaches after too many roller coasters and a half shirt worn by E. 
It was a great day & the roller coasters are a great metaphor for a relationship with its ups and downs, laughing and being scared.  Who knew that 8 years later we would be married, own a home, have beautiful, healthy children and still love each other as much as we did in the beginning.
