10 Years!

Today, Peter and I celebrate 10 years of being together! We went out on our first date 10 years ago today. I remember it like it was yesterday (blech, how cliche is that?!). I was SUPER nervous. He made me absolutely giddy. We went to see a local punk band play in San Jose. Even though I was in the midst of a colitis flare up, which normally keeps me homebound, I could not pass up an opportunity to go out with the guy I had been crushing on for 2 months by that time. We had a great time. After the show, we went back to my apartment and watched Late Night with Conan O'Brien and talked until 2am. We were pretty much inseparable after that (it helped that we had two classes and a section together at UC Santa Cruz). We weren't "officailly" a couple until March 24th, but in my mind, we were because once I was with him, I didn't want to be with anyone else. I am SOOOO grateful that God matched us together here on earth. I cannot imagine going through this life with anyone else (well, actually, I can, and it isn't a pretty picture!).

Here we are a few days after our first date:


And today (this was taken 2 weeks ago):


Happy 10 years babe! And the adventure continues...
