Time Changes All

I was leafing through some old blog posts today from my old LiveJournal account and decided it would be fun to see where I was on today's date in years past. There was no entry from 2007, but I found one for 2006 and another for 2005.

The post from 2006 wasn't anything too interesting. It was just me talking about how Michelle's brother, Stephen, told me he had to "think about it" when I asked him to be a groomsman in our wedding. It still makes me laugh to read that.

It was the post from 2005 that really made me smile. For those who don't know, Michelle and I have been dating for three years come Sunday. Our first date was June 15th, 2005. We had met on April 27th of that same year at Target. I was restarting that day after having been gone from Target for over a year and Michelle was just starting that day. They made me go back on a training register just to help "freshen" my memory. It just so happened that I was to share a register with this cute, short, blonde girl that had just started. Anyway, it took me about a month and a half to finally ask her, and this post is about just that. Enjoy.

"So, people (haha, probably only one) are wondering how things went at work
today.

Well... we only worked together for three hours today, and I kept getting
built up to do it, and then I'd chicken out or someone we work with would walk
by or one of us would get busy and have to ring up a guest. So I went up to her
on her lane before 4:30 (the time she was off) and told her to come talk to me
before she left. So she did... and I asked her... and she said yes.

Soooooo... I have a coffee date set. And I don't drink coffee.. or
caffeine.(How much is one of them caffeine-free lemonade things at Starbucks?
haha.) But yeah. That's all."

And now we're here. Married for nearly a year, we have our own house, and our first child is due to come on Sunday, exactly three years after our first date. I can't wait.
