How Mommy and Daddy Met

As I said....I am hoping to recount various events in our lives that have led us to this place so that Skylar will have all of these written down for her one day.......

Mom and Dad met in junior high. We were 12 years old and I hated your Dad. Your father had 30 girlfriends before he started dating your Mommy but that is okay because most only lasted a day. This is the perfect reason why you shouldn't allow first impressions to be your only impression. Your daddy had lots of girlfriends but most were just friends he held hands with. A couple of those girls he did love and that is okay too. Your daddy actually asked me out in junior high but I never said yes. THEN our freshman year in high school, Dad started dating Mommy's best friend....who broke Daddy's heart *not really but at 14, it felt like it*. While they dated, I got to know your Daddy and realized what a kind-hearted, good person he was. And I realized that he was sorta cute! We had study hall together and when my friend broke up with your daddy, we started to pass notes. I still have the note we wrote the day I told him I liked him. It's silly now but I love that note. Your daddy asked me out the next day on the phone. It was January 18th, 1997....and we still argue as to what time it was. Our first true date was 2 weeks later at the Winter Formal (because your daddy was grounded!). The pictures are frightful because this is before your mommy believed in makeup and doing something with her hair. And I wore a long green church dress....sad to say the least! But your daddy acted like I was beautiful!

To this day, I think your daddy is my very best friend. We still leave notes to each other but now they end with " Love, me". I am a lucky lady and I hope baby girl that one day you meet your very best friend and spend the rollercoaster of life with that person!
