11 years
Tomorrow Dixie and I will celebrate our 11th anniversary. First of all let me state the obvious: we are getting old. Ok, we aren't really getting old, but for two kids who fell in love when they were 16 and 17, we have come a long way.
When Dixie and I started dating she lived on Haymarket Street. I lived about 10 minutes away, but I could make the drive in about 3 minutes after I had squeezed out every minute I could stay with her and I was late for curfew and trying to get home quickly. I remember often trying to squeeze out every minute I could. Our time together was so precious to me.
Studies show that some of the most powerful memories are based on smells. That must be true. I can remember Dixie's perfume. I remember the smell of her little diesel Audi that we would sometimes drive on our dates. For some reason these are some of the strongest memories I have from our dating years.
I was surprised when Dixie first showed an interest in me. She was way out of my league. I know that's hard to fathom for some of you readers, but I haven't always been the fine specimen I am today. And she's always been a hottie. Anyway, through all this time she has loved me - and I am so grateful.
So tomorrow we celebrate 11 years of marriage together. I am glad she chose me. I would choose her again in a second. I choose her everyday.
I'm having fun growing older with her.
Here's to a great 11 years...going on 75.

OK - That was sweet and really funny! Happy Anniversary! Isn't it great to not only still be together, but actually love each other and even like each other. When I say I have been married 12 years, most people are amazed. Who does that these days? Anyway, I think y'all both chose well. Congratulations! Love you both so much. D
