For those of you who are regulars to this blog, you may have noticed a change in the music selection. Well, the change is to honor a very special day. Today marks the four year anniversary of the day that Nick and I got married. Our first dance as husband and wife was to "When I fall in Love". I have always loved the lyrics to this song. When it came time to choose a song for our first dance, we knew that we wanted something classic. The words to the song say it all.

I know that most of you check the blog to hear all about Charlie, but today is all about Nick and me. So, feel free to check your Facebook account or log in to your e-mail instead of reading any further....I will totally understand.

The Story of Us
.
Nick and I started as friends our Freshman year at UGA. Actually, I did not really like him very much. My first encounter with him was not a very pleasant one. He was in a hurry to go out with his friends, and I was slowing him down and talking too much (not a lot has changed :o)). I forgave him for his rude behavior after our first meeting, and we continued to hang out together with all of our friends. At the time, we were both seeing other people, so a relationship was out of the question. During the summer between Freshman and Sophomore year, we both found ourselves single. This meant a lot more time to hang out with our group of friends and a lot more time to get to know each other. At first, we spent our time together complaining about our ex's. But, after a while, our conversations veered away from old boyfriends and girlfriends, and I realized how much I loved talking to him. It was so easy and he was the nicest, most sincere guy I had ever met. At that point, there was something more than just friendship between us. It took a trip to Key West for spring break to change our friend status to dating. After months of flirting and joking about dating, Nick and I finally had a serious talk about starting a relationship. From that day, March 5, 2000, Nick and I have been together.

Like every couple, we have had our share of highs and lows. I have to say that of all the years of marriage, this one has been the toughest. Nick and I LOVE being parents, but it has taken some adjusting when it comes to our relationship. It has been hard to focus on "us" with Charlie around. For that very reason, I am making an anniversary resolution: I will be a better wife by making more time for us and focusing more on the good things in our life together.

Happy Anniversary to US!!!

Happy Anniversary! Love You! :)
Oh, and I love the May 07 with the straight hair. Nice. Very nice.
You are so right and the beauty of more time for us is that Charlie will see it and reap all the benefits. Happy anniversary - let us know if you need a sitter for your us time, though I know your family is so close by that they usually claim them.
