13 Years

Thirteen years ago today, Eric first asked me to be his girlfriend. Thirteen years! It's hard to believe it has been that long.

I still remember how giddy I was that the cute boy from the pool actually wanted ME to be his girlfriend. It was definitely a "pinch me, I must be dreaming" moment in my young, teenager life. We were at the beach on Labor Day and after he asked me, we walked back to the car holding hands. Swoon!

Now, 13 years have passed and we certainly are not those same 16-year-old kids anymore. But I definitely still get that "pinch me, I must be dreaming" feeling from Eric on a regular basis, and I still find him every bit as swoon-worthy as I did on September 7, 1998, if not more so. I'm a lucky girl!
