Of blind dates and anniversaries...

[lady_curmudgeon]

Eight years ago today I went on a blind date set up by Lydia, a friend and co-worker, who thought that me and her friend Jason would be a great match. The plan was to make a weekend of it at her and her fiance's house; Jason would come in from Bolingbrook and I from Kenosha and there would be much chatting, drinking, eating and watching movies to be had as an easy way to get to know each other better. Seemed okay to me, and to him, too, I think...

I figured I would be making a new friend, nothing more. Blind dates, after all, are sorta a crap shoot. Little did I know we'd actually make a love connection and still be together eight years later! He's my best friend and soul mate. We've been through good times, great times, not so great times, and bad times, but we always make it through it all--together.

So here's to successful blind dates! Happy eighth anniversary, honey! I love you to the moon and back again... <3
