13

Nick and I officially started dating 13 years ago today. We talked about it over the weeked, since it was coming up. As it turned out, we both thought about it several times today but we were both so busy that we never brought it to the other's attention until about 5 this evening. We had a 40th birthday party for my dad at the Tiki house, and Nick and I had gone out on the paddleboat. We talked about how we really enjoyed each other's company and we'd been spending a lot of time together. It was official--we were boyfriend and girlfriend. That night, I called Jennifer and made her swear not to let me get too serious, or MARRY this guy! HA! Funny how things turn out. Here's to 13!
