Twelve years ago today my dear husband and I went out for our first date. We saw Anthony Hopkins in a film I remember for “the low men.” Hearts in Atlantis. Though The World’s Fastest Indian is my favorite film of his.
Jim opened my car door, took my hand and for 12 years has never let go. No matter where we go he’s my sweetheart and best friend.
A few years ago he had me place our wedding date and my birth date inside his wedding ring. He did not ask for our first date.
We went to a Mexican restaurant after the movie and basically he stood by me all weekend, meaning that he went on 14 pet sitting visits with me. If he could deal with that, anything was possible. Over the year we met all the parents and Nanny then we eloped and called them later.
I have the dress I wore, ready to be dry cleaned and given to someone else. I never thought I’d find the right person but we found each other by chance (the scientist) or fate (the human intelligence person). He’s not the high school football QB, however is a really smart guy, inventor, physicist and engineer. Gals, don’t look at the abs, look at the person you’ll be having breakfast with for life.
