Tim & had known each other for years....so when we first started dating we didn't have to go through the period of getting to know each other & the family stuff (his sister and I are good friends). Our first date was Memorial day 1989.

We then took a trip on July 4th (his birthday!) to San Diego - where he told me he loved me for the first time.

We got engaged that October, and married on February 17, 1990. Yes, fast I know.

We actually wanted to get married on Valentine's day, but my dear sweet mother (we don't talk now - but not because of this) told us that was too "cheesey" Nice mom, huh?! So we moved the wedding to the saturday which happened to be the 17 - just like this year!!

So we celebrate our anniversary & Valentine's day together, and we all celebrate Tim's birthday on the 4th of July!!

My birthday is always the week after Thanksgiving, so we have things all planned out!!
