seriously a decade?

last week RB and TB celebrated their tenth year of marriage.  their wedding was what the start of my relationship with P because after the wedding as P drove them to their hotel, RB told P that he had to ask me out before they got back from their honeymoon.  what RB hadn't known was I was almost through with P.

i had gone to a christmas party at P's place a little over a month before their wedding date.  at the party, i gave P my number because he wanted to get together with some people to go ice-skating.  i was waiting for a month for him to call... but i got absolutely nothing.  when school started back up from winter break, P did not come to sub for a while.  then when he did, he started coming to my room before he went to lunch to ask if he could pick something up for me too.  that week we started taking turns buying lunch for each other, but nothing was talked about.  i was starting to think he was a player or something... ha ha... then it happened, 10 years ago yesterday, he called me and asked me out!!!  10 years ago today we went on our first date.  i cannot believe it's been that long.

10 years ago today, P picked me up and took me out for coffee.  i remember my sister and friends telling me to dress up, but i was like you guys don't know P... he's not someone to dress up.  so i wore jeans and a cute sweater and my red coat.  P wore jeans and a sweater and a jacket.  i knew him...  :)  at the coffee shop we talked about our families, what we like and stuff like that and then we went to the weirdest show in the world.  why he took me there is beyond me, but nonetheless i had fun.

10 years... that's a decade.  i kind of feel really old.  the picture below is not from our first date, but it was the summer that followed.  we were young.
