15 Years.

Thursday was the date of our first date... fifteen years ago. We went to see Casper, and Philip's parents picked me up and dropped me off (we were both just 15, you see). A few months later, for my sweet 16th birthday in November (at a roller skating rink!), Philip gave me the VHS copy of the movie, and I cried. :-)





Me, Philip, my BFF Tanya, and Robert.


We don't celebrate these dates or anything, but it's ingrained as a part of me - I don't forget them, not ever. When I remembered it this year, it was a mind-trip: we're both now thirty years old, so we've now spent half our lives together.

Wow.

Trey and I were just talking about how we'll have been together for 15 years in September. Weird!

I LOVE this entry! Okay, I met Kev when I was 5 years old, and we were friends all through my childhood, and began dating when I was 17. I'm now 35 and have been with him more than half of my life! :)
Weee! Congrats, Nicole! I love the pictures!

Oh my, how young you all look. I can remember that time. How you all were always together.
I hope that you celebrate your 45th (50 together) too.
Lots of livin' in all those years.
Thanks for the good memories!! Love you both!!!

I remember dates like this too, and like you I started dating my husband when I was 15 :-)

The amazing thing is that you look exactly the same, Nicole :-)

And yes, it's a mind boggling thing to realize you've been with the same person for over half of your life. Ben and I met at 13 and are rapidly approaching 47... you do the math... lol Oh, and we hit 24 years of marriage next week... hard to remember a time Before Ben.

u guys are too cute1
