Welcome/Our Anniversary

I thought it would be fitting to make our first blog entry on our first anniversary. One year ago today Ashley and I went on a blind date with each other. That single blind date has brought us where we are today. We cannot wait to see where that blind date takes us in the future. I decided to write the following poem about our great blind date. Welcome to our blog.

It all started just one year ago, when we met at the bookstore café
We ended up staying til closing time, because we had so much to say

The night soon ended far quicker, than I felt it should.
Our conversation and hot chocolate, all seemed so very good

A few text messages, a call or two, she might think I’m a geek,
What a surprise when Ashley said, she’d go out again the next week

We talked on the phone, and would then go out, with twins safe in their bed,
Always willing to start our date after 8, I wondered why she hadn’t fled

Then after four months or so, and at least our 20th date,
She finally let me kiss her, and the sparks could no longer abate.

A week or so later, she met my two, so far the best part of me,
Immediately, I realized, what an amazing Mother she would be

So many dates we have had, sometimes with two people or four,
She always shows love to the three of us, this sweet girl I adore.

Time goes by; we have worked and loved, to make it through our first year,
I cannot wait to celebrate more anniversaries, with this girl I hold so dear

So on with the New Year, and all it brings, for our little crew,
Ashley we have something so special and neat, I truly do love you.

Since we’ll share everything else, and we don't want to be a hog,
We would love to welcome all of you, to our nifty greatblinddate blog
