Anniversary

Today marks the anniversary day that Eric and I started dating!! I was a mere 16 years old and Eric was 20!! YIKES. Well, I was getting ready to turn 17 in June, but still that seems so young! However; it has been the best 8 years of my life. We've been through so much together. It's amazing it's been that long.

It seems just like yesterday I was a freshman in high school swooning over that senior boy in the lunch room who kept winking at me. (Now he claims he can't wink.) I would always go home tell my Mom how 'Eric Mills was SUCH a HOTTIE.' Mom says those were my exact words.

Eric and I didn't start dating until I was a Junior in H.S. Eric had been away to Vincennes for the past 2 years after he graduated H.S. I had almost forgot about my huge crush I had on him. I was in the lifeguarding class with my friend Brett, when in walked Eric Mills. I immediately started hyperventilating.... After I calmed down, and the first class was over, I had a class with his sister, Michelle. I went on and on to her about how he was so cute... :) Didn't think much about it, until the following Friday I was working my first shift at The Boat Loft restaurant at Delaney Park. If anyone goes down there, they know that the Police Officers are usually down there for Friday Night Fish... Well in walks Eric.... AHHHHH what's a girl to do? I have no idea what I'm doing at work, and to top it off Eric walks in.. My face is beat red. As Eric is leaving, the beginning to the end happened: He asked me out!!!!!! I couldn't believe it! I was really going to go out on a date with ERIC MILLS.... seriously at 16, could you're life get any better? Well, 8 years later, I say No. He is my best friend, husband, and confidant. I couldn't ask for a better life.
