november 12, 1998 …

who would have known back then, that on that night a journey would begin …

that journey that has now spanned 12 years …

it all began with a passing glance in Spanish class …

it consisted of several attempts (and rejections) until the right time/place …

but on november 12, 1998, she might not have known, but I know I most certainly did …

for on that night, Lisa and I had our first date …

we have seen and experienced so many things since that first date …

I would eventually convince her I was the one for her …

I am sure she had her doubts, but if she did, she never let it show …

And on June 24, 2000, in Fort Smith, Arkansas, we both took a vow that we never intend to break …

Lisa is my one and only, and there will never be another who could take her place …

We are together forever, through good times and bad …

Together through heartache and heart-felt joy …

We have grown closer and more attune to each other's thoughts and desires …

We are no where near perfection as a couple, but we try to grow closer each and every day …

The path isn't always straight and wide, but the curves and bumps help build character …

There is no one I would rather be on this journey with in life …

There is no one I would rather be the mother of my beautiful daughters …

There is no one I would rather call my wife, than you …

You are my wife, my all, and my everything …

Without you, life would simply be a series of minutes/hours/days survived, and not lived …

I have truly, beyond words, enjoyed the first 10 years of marriage to you Lisa …

I pray and hope that the next 30, 40, 50, or however many years God gives us, are as fun and full of life as the first decade …

Lisa, I love you. I have since that moment back in november of 1998 …

You may not have known at first, but I knew then what I still know now …

You are my everything …

Happy Anniversary Lisa …
