Alot Has Happened In Two Years!!!!

Two years ago from today (well actually it was the 28th, but two years ago that was a Thursday)...Brad and I had our first date!!!
Wow!!!

Her Story, the nutshell version:

After a week of talking on the phone, Brad finally convinced Stacy that they should get together for an actual "date". Stacy of course was very amused..intrigued perhaps by the past week of telephone conversations and agreed. Stacy wondered if a home-cooked meal at her place was perhaps moving a little too quickly...however, she figured, what the heck does she have to lose...?...go for it... She purposed the idea...he quickly agreed. The next night they had a dinner date set! Yay. Stacy was, probably for the first time in her life, perhaps a little nervous about a date...Was it the subject himself...the pressure of having to cook dinner...? What was it...?
Well here we are...7pm on a Thursday night...Doorbell rings...Oh my goodness...she feels FAINT...she might actually pass out...Doorbell rings again (and if you know Brad, you know it rang several times after before Stacy got to the door)...
Stacy answered the door (looking totally radiant - of course), perhaps a little hesitant (cause of course, although she had talked to him several times on the phone since they had met...would he in fact be as "cute/hot" as he seemed that one fateful ... ok two fateful nights they had briefly met at Gracie's)....
Oh wheeewwwwwwww.....Not only is he "cute/hot"...he is tall , dark and totally Handsome. Somethin' to write home about perhaps...?...So far so good Stace.
Well normally this (where she has answered the door and he is standing there with a bottle of wine and flowers, looking SO handsome) would be an awkward part in the date...BUT, not so much. She invites him in, he accepts...gives her a hug...proceeds to the kitchen to poor two glasses of wine and check on dinner...He's been here a mere few minutes and has made himself at home...Excellent!!!
Dinner that night, if I do say so myself...was pretty tasty...The wine was..uh OK...hahah it took Stacy about 6 months to tell Brad that she really did not like red wine that much. That said, she has grown to like it more...
They did the dishes together that night and then headed off for a few hours to the Casino de Lac Lemy. It was a great first date.
They didn't by any means come home from the casino rich that night but they did end the evening with plans for another date...
Brad and Stacy spend alot of time together that Halloween weekend...things never felt awkward, they talked and laughed and well...that was the start of many more dates and alot of good times...
Both of them discovered early on that they had "found the one"...and they have already been married for 3 months and 1 week!!! YAY!!!
So will they celebrate? Nah...probably not formally since now they will get to celebrate their wedding anniversary every year in July...BUT, the anniversary of their first date will always be fun to remember as it has turned out to be the best date ever for them both.

Happy First date Anniversary to us!!!!!
