It's been 2583 days since our first date on 1/7/11 (or 7 years and 26 days). Back then we were both in our early-ish 20s, you were fresh out of school and I only taught lessons in the afternoon. We both lived with our parents and you drove your parents' van (or Mustang if you were lucky). You took me ice skating for our first date and we had dinner at a Western themed bar that you didn't realize was a bar. Now, we've been married over 2.5 years, we have our own apartment, and we both work full time. We're both in our early 30s and we're hoping to start our family. We've gone ice skating almost every January since that first date and we laugh now about how awkward it was to have dinner at that bar and "define our relationship." You still take me on hiking and biking adventures, and I take you to musical theater. Considering we were both each other's first date ever, first kiss, and first love, I think it's worked out pretty well. God had a plan for our awkwardly sweet slow start. I love you!
