 I had been working at PETsMART for a year or so when Terry started working there one day in February of 2001 (I was 16 untill my birthday on March 31st & he was 24 at that time). I was a cashier & I did some stocking of the shelves... he started working in the aquatics section. So one day someone brought a bag of fish without a price to the register so I had to run over & get one of the aquatics people to price it for me. As I was walking over I saw this guy (Terry) & just that very second he looked up & we both looked at each other straight in the eyes (Love at first sight ). I thought he was so cute (& come to find out he thought I was cute too). After that we both started to like each other. We started to make small talk in the break room or when we saw each other throughout the day. One day at work I decided to be really brave so I walked to the back of the store where he was (he had switched over to being a lead stocker) & asked him if he wanted to hang out sometime outside of work. He said yeah & that it'd be cool & gave me his number! I was so excited, shocked, & somewhat embarrassed because I was shy, that I said "cool" & hurried back up to the front of the store & excitedly told my friend who worked as a cashier there too that I got his number, lol so childish as I look back on it. But keep in mind that I had never had a boyfriend before so this was new to me. That's the short story of how we first met!

 When my parents found out about us they tried to keep us apart because he was older. But of course that didn't keep us from talking; we continued to go on breaks together whenever possible, talked on the phone, emailed each other, & I'd visit him at both of his jobs. We said that when I turned 18 that we could actually start dating. We were cautious because of my parents, but finally on August 6th, 2001 we had our first kiss. It was a little awkward, because this was my first kiss ever... but it was really nice & I can still remember it today. When I finally turned 18 (March 31, 2002), Terry took me out to the movies (we saw "Time Machine"), then we just hung out for a while together, & then we went over to the Woo House (a house that 3 of his friends rented - they called it the Woo House because that was the last name of their landlords & they had it on a sticker on the front door) & I met the guys for the first time... it was a really nice time & it was so great that we could finally be together!

 Skipping to the present... We've been together for over (if you count before I was 18). June 21, 2004 we moved into a townhouse together, lived there for a year, & recently bought (& moved into) our current townhouse together on July 15, 2005! We love each other so much & we have come to the same conclusion that we want to spend the rest of our lives together! He was my first everything & will forever be my only everything. I love you so much Baby!

To my Baby... I love you so much & my love for you is unconditional. I could never imagine living my life without you. You mean the world to me, you're the most important part of my life. I love everything about you & you make me so happy! I think about you every minute of the day & I hate it when we haveta be apart. I love you forever & always!
