fall in love for the right reasons

three years ago i signed up for eharmony. i was new to dallas, all the holiday parties were approaching and i decided to give it a shot. it started out as pure entertainment. i would spend an hour or so each night looking at the matches for fun. pretty quickly i decided that this kind of thing was not for me.

i went home for thanksgiving and while i was at my deda's i checked my email. i had a new match and for some reason this one stuck with me. i went ahead and responded to it and i'm sure you guessed the rest. it was doug.

matched nov 23 * first date feb 2 * engaged june 14 * married july 7

it was a whirlwind, but i think everyone knew we were a "match" right away.

this one's for D

D always tells me that i only blog about H now and he's probably right. but who can compete with that cute little boy - am i right?

i figure today of all days, i will do a special shout out to my hunee. even though i may not like where it takes us, i am proud of him for being an air force guy. the obvious sacrifices (moving, deployments, etc) in addition to the less thought off...no decision on career, time commitment, etc is a lot to take on. he joined right after high school and planned on it only being for 4 years. now he's been in 14. but all of this he does for the job security, our future (medical and retirement check)....for me and huston. and for his country.

love you babe and am proud of you everyday.
