Ten Years of Kissing

My wife turned 29 years old today. Happy Birthday, Sweetheart!

Exactly ten years ago today we told each for the first time that we loved each other. We were standing on Fairhope pier that used to jut out into Mobile Bay…No, they didn’t move it; Hurricane Ivan destroyed it a couple summers ago. We had been dating for three months. I was smitten. I kissed her for the first time.

Before we got to the pier, I had taken her to this little romantic restaurant called Ivey’s in Robertsdale, AL. A very quaint little place. I had called ahead and reserved the “anniversary room.” It was a single small room with one candlelit table.

She’s more beautiful than ever, I appreciate her more than ever, and I love her more than ever.

Here’s to ten years of kissing.
