Half Anniversary

9 years ago today, I received a call from Kiley, who told me that she had spoken to Thomas Dupont at the Pepsi Christmas party that evening and decided that he and I should meet. I agreed, and later that night I drove into town to find Kiley and this "Thomas" at the rest stop (classy sounding, I know, but that was actually a common place for us to get the crew together before carrying out our plans for the night). I remember thinking "wow, this guy's pretty cute," as Thomas and I climbed into the car to cruise Main. We talked quite a bit that night, and found out that we actually had a lot in common, and, yes, I did get a kiss! After that, I was hoping and praying that he would call me! He did, and we've been together ever since. We were married exactly 1 1/2 years later on June 8th, and so we've always called this our Half Anniversary. Thomas has told me several times that when he went home the night we met, he told his brother "That's a girl I could marry." Famous last words...
