Love?

I have been having a lot of discussions lately with someone who would prefer to remain nameless about love. Why we fall in love, how it happens, and the big one, how do you stay in love? To these questions, I say, I DON'T KNOW! David and I met and I knew we were getting married by the end of the second day. Wow. It was bizzare. I didn't want to get married, I was just starting to really like dating. But I met him and it was over. And he says the same for him. So how do you explain this to someone? You can't. You just can't until you've been there. It's a weird feeling to have your heart so far out of it's comfort range, but once you've been there, it's a feeling you don't want to lose. Ever. This past week was 13 years fromthe time I met David. I can't imagine my life without him. He makes me laugh everyday, and thankfully he still sees me as the little girl he married. :) Thank heavens for "love blinders" ! Here we are in various stages of falling in love...
Here with Courtney shortly after we met... (Although note: I am already wearing my ring... this might be the 4th of July before the wedding)
The day he proposed... This might be may favorite picture EVER of us. I love it.
Our official engagement photo...

Exactly a week before the wedding!!

THE big day! I like to try to remember what he's saying here... :)

Anyway, it's been an awesome 13 years, and here's to 50 more.

Awwww!!! So cute! Seriously, you guys need to write your screenplay, it's totally cute!

And to think I remember the day you met him- at that volleyball thing! I remember you telling me you were going to marry him after knowing him a few weeks. There is no question...You guys were meant to be together. When you write the book about staying in love in the next few years- be sure to give me a copy. Artyom and I will have to learn off your successes!

I love the way David looks at you, just like he looks in those pictures. The two of you make eachother laugh and keep the rest of us entertained. My life would be boring without you guys in it!

So Jennie, I have never experienced your blog music; usually I don't have sound with my computer at work. I almost cried reading this. Seriously a tear almost squirted. I don't want to think about men right now, but I hope that I find what you two have! Your relationship is so awesome and something that many don't have. You two are a GORGEOUS couple and I loved seeing the stages of your courtship. Yes, I just said courtship.
