program i was running. it was my first job out of college. i was in a relationship when she started working there. i'd hit her up on the AOL instant messenger (right?? haha) and chat etc. the tension was kinda thick, one of those things we both knew but didn't really speak on.

until winter break was drawing near and i knew i had to do some things or she would be gone for a month and then who knows where she/her head would be when she got back to school/Richmond. so i broke it off with the current and told my now wife that i had done so. we started kicking it pretty much right away. now we're 11 years deep in marriage, 13 years in a relationship. our first son turned 7 today, and the little one will be two in february.

she gets me, accepts me for all my shit and lets me be me. it's a beautiful thing.
