September 1999, A computer, a teacher, a Wayne, a techie. It stated simple enough...fix this machine. Taken by the hand lead to your classroom. A few clicks, some notes, and a thank you. :).
Next several emails are sent back and forth, then the official call for a date, but you were blown up the weekend before, so a hold is placed on that. Finally the first date, movie at Gurnee Mills, "Three To Tango". Then more movies come and go...Patch Adams, Life, and so on. House sitting in Paradise, sleeping on the floor in LaCrosse, Thanksgiving travel, cooking dinner for each other the first time.
December ends with bringing in the new year in the Dells and skiing on the first day of the year ending in the hot tub.
February brings us Valentine's Day in the UP skiing. Traveling up in the ice cold and slick roads, we meet up with blaze orange Eric. "Tums Boy is born" You are sick, we fall asleep at 4pm, go tubing at night and then travel all the way home in one day.
March you go off on spring break.
April, May, and June go by in no time flat. June starts our summer travel, camping and biking in Door county, camping in the Dells and Gov. Dodge.
July we live through surgery, birthdays (and coolers), summer school, fireworks, garage sales, downhill mountain biking, alpine slides, canoeing, rapids, and once again illness and injury.
August leads up to a vacation, finally, a delayed flight. Key West, penthouse suites, "housekeeping?" Moving all my stuff to Wayne's place, then school starts.
September brings us back to school, bowling, and housesitting.
October brings us to my birthday (golfing anyone?). Our 1 year anniversary, and ring shopping.
November brings us to Thanksgiving, bowling season and a relationship that feels like a long distance penpal friend.
December brings us to the end of the best year of my life. Kristin I love you with all my heart. I cannot express in words what you do to me, how you make me feel inside, they way we are so much alike yet different. I want to be with you for the rest of my life. Click below.
