I met the Mister five years ago (yesterday).
July 27th is a great day for the A-Team because we always remember to celebrate the day we met. It wasn't, in fact, love at first sight. Nope. It was even better than that because it was quite a turning point for me in a most unexpected way. I adore surprises, and crossing paths with Steve was one of the very best surprises I've ever received. Everything about that day is crystal clear in my mind. I remember exactly where I was standing, what I was wearing, what I was doing, and the first words Steve said to me that evening when we met, as if it happened yesterday.
2008:
(Not the day we met, but during our week as co-counselors at EFY)
2013:
(Celebrating five years at a Clippers game)
The words from one of my favorite songs sum up the last five years the best:
(and Benny Goodman has one of the best versions, in my opinion)
You make me feel so grand, I wanna hand the world to you
You seem to understand each foolish scheme that I'm scheming
And the dream that I'm dreaming
Now I know why my mother, she taught me to be true
She meant me for someone exactly like you
Truer words couldn't be spoken.
Until the next July 27th...
