A family in Progress

Today Gord and I celebrate our six year anniversary. Happy Anniversary to us!

Looking back at things - I really believe we were *meant* to meet. Gord used to work at the bar I used to frequent. We had crossed path more times then I can even remember and I had actually at one point dated one of his co workers. We never spoke, never really noticed each other - but the moment our path’s crossed - we couldn’t believe we had never spoken previously.

So, my confession - is that although Gord and I had previously crossed path - we met online. I had my Campus kiss account open, but was away from the computer - when I got back there was a simple message saying - hey, how’s it going. It had been sent about a half an hour prior - so I responded - sorry wasn’t being rude - just away from the computer. He came back with a witty, sure - sure. From there the conversation rolled. I didn’t think much of it until - I asked him where he worked. He replied - the only place to be on a Friday and the only place to be if your over 30 on Saturday. I knew at that moment he worked at Denim, the bar I spent most weekends of my single life at.

From there it became a game of sorts - me knowing full well who he was, and him tryin to figure out me from a crowd of 100’s of people. Yes, I was shy. After a few weeks of talking and me dodging (getting together) I finally had enough liquid courage to introduce myself to him. We had our first date the following weekend. I went to his house where we sat on his front porch drinking wine and talking - we were having such a good time, that I didn’t leave until the next morning. But - there was no funny stuff happening - i drew an imaginary line down the middle of the bed! LOL.

We agreed to keep things very quiet and not too seriously. I was having fun being single - and neither one of us I think at that time were really looking for anything. I guess what they say is true, don’t go looking for love - because it will find you. We spent ALOT of time together over the next few months. Our closest friends knew, but we did our best to keep it outside of the bar, so it wouldn’t interfere with his job. Then one of his co workers showed up at my house - after dropping Gord off the night before. It was over - by mid November, everyone he worked with knew. It looked like our *quiet relationship* was no longer secret.

One night while I was with my girlfriend at the bar - Gord kept walking past - checking up on me I guess…LOL and I turned and said to her - I know he loves me - he just won’t admit it yet. That night he came back to my place after work, and again in one of my drunken stupors I told him what I had said - to which he replied - I do.

There you have it folks - this relationship - which was meant to be nothing serious ending up leading me to my best friend and in many ways - my soulmate. Funny, the way life takes you.

We moved into together in April 2003 and were pregnant with Myles in March of 2004 and engaged in December of 2006.

Things aren’t always perfect, and we’ve had our fair share of up’s and down’s - but the truth of the matter is - I couldn’t ask for a better partner, and father for our son- I am truly blessed to have such an amazing man.

Happy Anniversary Babe! I love you!
