we've been friends for a long time now...


In 6 years we've learned a lot about each other. i know how to push his buttons and he knows not to push mine. ha! we've done lots, i mean lots in 6 years and many adventures and memories have been made. i love being able to look back and see how it all began and see how far we've come. when i think back to may of 2004, i didn't even know tyson existed until sunday may 16th, the evening he came into my apartment. funny part is, if you had of told me that night that less then 3 months later i would be married to him,
i would have laughed and said 'wanna bet'.
awe the joys of pure love. i'm sure glad he came to my apartment.
