11 years ago.....

 i was sitting in front of my computer screen, talking to friends, my stomach tied into knots, swimming with butterflies.....all that stuff...because I was about to meet THE guy.....the one I had been waiting for my whole life....I can still remember so many small details from that night., the way the light fell on his hair, the nervous gum smacking, the glow from my CD  player, the way he smelled, the cold walk to his car in the darkness....the feeling of his hand in mine for the first time....

Now, today, we are married, and have finally after all the years of long-distance made it to the same town, at the same time and are living out the dreams we once talked about  long ago on that twin mattress in my dorm as we lay listening to Counting Crows, Bush, Bethoveen....

His hand in mine still gives me tingles.
