Long Ago, Not So Far Away
How do you measure almost ten years together? And how do you find perspective on that time? I’m not one to look back very often (though this website is where that usually happens), so it’s difficult to encapsulate the time that Andy and I have been together in one post, or even a year of posts. But I was just thinking about all that has happened since we met, and that gives a brief hint of our time together. Here’s a list of some of those markers:
I met Andy before I got my first digital camera (he’s actually the one who gave it to me).
I met Andy before the World Trade Center was attacked.
I met Andy before he lost his Mom.
I met Andy before I lost my Uncle and Grandmother.
I met Andy before I got my first cel phone.
I met Andy before George W. Bush became President.
I met Andy before I met any friends (or anyone for that matter) in Albany (he introduced me to many of them).
I met Andy before the Red Sox ended their World Series drought.
I met Andy before I had a car.
I met Andy before ‘N Sync and the Backstreet Boys had disbanded, back when they were selling millions of albums.
I met Andy before you could send photos on your cell phone.
I met Andy before the iPod was released.
I met Andy before YouTube was created.
I met Andy before American Idol began airing.
I met Andy before Wicked debuted on Broadway.
I met Andy before any of my friends got married.
I met Andy before any of my friends had children.
I met Andy before Madonna released Music in 2000.

Reminds me of how fast-paced our world is. I would have to echo nearly all of your list. Amazing, the speed at which things are moving. Big hugs to you guys this week.

I met YOU because of Andy, and I just love you, Love you both. I wish you a beautiful Day, and a lifetime of Joy, Happiness, and the way you feel right now, take some of it put it in a box, and when your having a day where you forget how good it feels right now, open up that box, take a look and remember why you did what you did On Friday May 7th, 2010. Soak it all up and enjoy this special special time.
