Our first summer together 96/97 & our first of many animal encounters |
A week later you sent a rose and a card to my work (I thought you may have done this all the time, just because you seemed so nice that night!!) I called you to thank you and for the next 6 weeks we spoke on the phone and you always asked me out every time and every time I turned you down becuase I knew if I saw you again you would be as nice as you appeared to be on that night and my illusions again would be shattered. After 6 weeks of calls I finally gave in and agreed to go to dinner with you, I knew it would more than likely not go well and I would never see you again and the calls would stop etc... and we could move on.
The day of our date I was so nervous for some reason all I ate that day was a banana, I went to the movies to kill time & distract myself and saw Up close & personal. When you arived to pick me up and I came out to meet you I thought my legs would buckle under me with nerves. I decided on that date I would be very honest about everything, my likes/dislikes, what I wanted from a relationship etc.... I was pretty sure my honesty would put you off but we had a great meal and kept chatting. On the drive back home you asked me out again to which I said "You want to see me again?" in surprise after all I had said that evening. You told me later you thought that meant I did not want to see you again.
Our 1st anniversary 9 May 1997 |
You spent all week in Brisbane and me on the Gold Coast, we started talking everynight on the phone and would go out once a week, then twice the following week auntil a few weeks in we were spending as much time together on weekends as we could. I was cautious and thought you were to good to be true, you were patient and proved to me time & time again what a wonderful person you were.
Just minutes after you proposed to me |

We have been through so much together, some hard & difficult times but also many wonderful times. To this day you are still so supportive & loving and I would not know what to do if you were not a part of my life. As Kelly Clarkson says "My life would suck without you'. I never knew what happiness was until I met you. You are not just my husband, you are my best friend. I hope & pray the hard stuff we are dealing with at present will result in a happy ending for us. There are not enough words to express how I feel about you - I hope you know.
