On Nov 5, 1985, one of his friends walked past me in the hallway at school that morning and said "Luke likes you". I just kept walking. Later, 3rd period I think, we had Geometry together and I kept looking at him wondering if he really did. He kept looking at me too. Then at lunch time I was outside, getting pizza from the Gino's truck. When I turned around with my piece of pizza and pepsi, there he stood, waiting for me. I remember I was wearing my pink Rick Springfield concert t-shirt and I thought my hair looked terrible that day.
I don't even remember what he said to me but we walked off together and ate lunch. I think we walked down to Joe's and sat together because that's where my friends were at lunch. I know we didn't say much to each other but that started it all.
We talked on the phone every night. Five days later he asked me "to go with him". July 1988 he asked me to marry him.
It's been 24 years since that boy said "Luke likes you!". 24 years. 3 babies. 12 different homes so far. 2 Army deployments.
He is my best friend. I love him more than I can even express. We are so much a part of each other that I can barely remember me before him-and don't want to imagine a me without him. I am so blessed to have him. I can't believe he loves ME the way he does, it is amazing. I hope we have at least 74 more Valentine's Days together.
Happy Valentine's Day!!!!!!!!!!!!
