It's been 10 years...

..since Tim and I met at Studio 54 in Las Vegas. We were there on respective boy and girl weekends. I know what happens in Vegas is supposed to stay in Vegas, at least according to the commercials, but he was just too fantastic to relegate to a mere vacation memory. 10 years ago tonight, my friend S flashed her press badge to skip the line. Tim and his friends greased the bouncer. I was wearing my most fabulous aviator sunglasses, which I had never done before. I wasn't exactly the sunglasses at night kind of girl. When I laid eyes on Tim, he was wearing sunglasses too. Only his were very Jason Priestly. We were a match made in heaven. We danced all night and I matched him Jack Daniels and Coke for Jack Daniels and Coke.

I certainly wasn't on the hunt for a husband in Vegas but I did find a friend. We wrote letters, sent emails, and racked up huge phone bills and frequent flier miles. I dusted off the old scrapbook for these!

He showed off his hometown of Boston.

He took me to visit New York for the first time. It was love at first sight. we even planned the weekend so I could go to Yankee Stadium and see my beloved Giants beat Tim's most hated entity, the Evil Empire.


He visited me in the Bay Area and we explored San Francisco.

When Tim and I met, I had no idea of the adventure that would lay ahead for us. We have had such an unbelievable ten years together. We have traveled, loved, and lost. He is the kindest man I have ever known. He makes me want to be the best version of myself that I can. On my birthday this year, he looked into my eyes and told me that I was his everything. I can't quite believe that I was lucky enough to meet him and build a life with him and even with our devastating loss last week, I wouldn't trade a single minute of our life together. He is my best friend and my everything and I am excited and hopeful to see what the next ten years will bring us.
