4 Years Ago Today…
Today is Betsy and my 4 year anniversary! To celebrate, I thought I’d start with a photo:

In honor of our relationship, I have a little story to share. Before Betsy, I was really good at being single. in fact, the longest relationship I had ever been in prior to Betsy was 4 months, and that was my freshman year of college. That’s not to say I didn’t want to be in a long term relationship, in fact quite the opposite. I just didn’t stick around for very long if you weren’t “The One.” So I lived my happy little life dumping and being dumped, and in general just learning how to be good at being single. Oh, and endlessly pining for, you know… “The One.”
Anyway, long story short too late, (as Betsy would say…) as Betsy and I neared our “4 month dating anniversary”, I genuinely started to get nervous. I’d never made it past this point. And I knew that if Betsy and I were to break up, she’d have to do the dumping, because for me, I’d found “The One.” I just knew I had. Much to my delight, she didn’t dump me after 4 months. In fact, she hasn’t dumped me yet!

So why did I pick these pictures? Because no matter what tomfoolery may be erupting around me, sitting across from my sweet Betsy at the table is my happy place. It was on our first “date” at Casa. It was on our honeymoon. It was this morning. And I hope that it will be for a lifetime to come.

Happy Anniversary, Betsy! Thanks for being my “One!”
well said! Happy Anniversary you two!
so sweet…happy anniversary you guys!!
John, you are the man. Hope you don’t mind me lifting most of this when the time comes. Thanks I knew you wouldn’t mind. Really though, Happy Anniversary!
You guys are TOO CUTE! What a sweet post John! Can’t wait to see the pair of you tomorrow! I can wish you belated anniversary wishes in person!
This is awesome. I could not agree more, John.
Oh my goodness you are so sweet! (And a stinker to use these hideous photos of me with no make up on! But I get it, they are all of me sitting across from you. Precious.) ; ) Love ya babe!
happy anniversay! to many years to come!
Love it! You are so sweet John! Hope you guys had a wonderful anniversary!
Happy Belated Anniversary! And many more–and may you two always be in love with each other.
(I got a different computer and don’t have access to my old bookmarks. I’m glad that I was able to explore to find your site so close to a good day.)
We always said “when you know, you just know.” Congratulations!
