My how time flies!

My gosh!
Time flies when you're having fun!
Feels like just yesterday my boyfriend Drew asked me to marry him. Three months after we met. Standing in the doorway while my labradaughter Chelsea was in the back yard taking a break.
We met at a contra dance.
The first card I ever gave him said, Love is like dancing, when you find the right partner it's easy.
We married after one year almost to the day of meeting and went to a contra dance after the reception.

Here we are 21 years later, through all the ups and downs of life, we are each other's best friend. 
We still like each other, and as one of my valentine quilts says, he's the one I want to tell my stories to at the end of the day. 
We make each other laugh. 
We support each other. 
 We fit together. 

We are thankful.

Congratulations! The day your birdie came to me, I knew that we had many things common. And now also the date of marriage. We celebrate 39 years today, and I could tell almost the same story as you do here.
