i'm not too sappy of a person, but i just needed to mention one thing. nine years ago today buz and i went on our first date. i can't believe how fast time really has flown by, and it's been such a fun ride! here's what went down:

..

it was my junior prom, he was a senior. we were friends, and had known each other for four years already. i won't get too detailed, but i ended up insisting he take me to prom. so, that night, a knock on the door, a clever little riddle to solve, and the date was set! we had our first kiss that night (just a peck, i'm a lady!) and decided we really liked each other. now, i'm not gonna say that i didn't dump him once or maybe even twice, but i had to make sure. and i wrote while he was on his mission, when i wasn't busy dating. like i said. i had to be sure. but then he came home and things just worked out. thank goodness! i can't imagine my life without buz and all the extras that come with being married to him (like my cute little girl and the one about to arrive!)

..

i have pictures of our first date but i'll be honest, i'm too lazy at the moment to scan them in to my computer to post them. maybe i'll bet to it one day, but don't count on it.

..

on a side note, we've decided to get rid of the internet. so you probably won't see so many posts coming (not that i post a lot anyway) but i'll be sure to update you when the new little one comes and every now and then when we steal the internet from our parents.
