CAN YOU BELIEVE IT..? TEN YEARS


It was exactly, to this day, ten years since I met the love of my life at a bus stop in Disneyworld. I remember being so tired from walking the park all day long and not wanting to go see Stevie Wonder so I could get some sleep. But it was Stevie Wonder and how often do you get the chance to see someone of that magnitude live? For free?

So that's when I met her. When I walked to the bus stop to go see the concert. I go through about billion scenarios where I don't go to the concert and never meet her. Each version means I'm not the person I am today and that saddens me. It was such a rare instance where you meet someone who becomes life-changing. I was very fortunate.

Happy Anniversary babe. Here's to many many more.
