The Beginning: The Prequel

I was about to do The Beginning: Part Two, but I realized I made a big boo boo and need to travel back in time just a bit, bear with me!

The Scene: Cabin in Cape Cod
The Date: Summer 2002
The Details: My best friend decided to inform me HOURS LATER that her boyfriend's friend LIKED me! OMGZ! Sophmore high school girl freak out!

Fast forward a few weeks, and you come to August 10, 2002- Bruce asked me out "officially"- I tried to ask him but he said no, no, he had to do it.

Youngin's! Here we are at 16 years old

Fast forward another six years and on August 9, 2008 he proposed to me... ironically, in Cape Cod!

I was just a *little* bit excited (this was almost immediately after he popped the question!)

Fast forward one more time to August 9, 2009 and, nine years from that first summer, we were married!!

If you think I went way too princess here, you should have seen my prom gown!

(Like clockwork, Sophia was due almost two years later, on August 2, 2011, she arrived one week early on July 27.)

So, this lays the foundation of our family. Come this summer Bruce and I will have been together for 11 years at the ripe ol' age of 26! Go Figure!
