So I may not have realized from the time I first met Mat, and even though I was crushing pretty hard on him Memorial Day weekend in 1994 when he asked me to dance for the first time, February 24, 1995 when he first held my hand...
I KNEW! I was head over heels in love with MAT HOLT! Yes, we'd known each other basically since tee ball (see proof below), and while he may have been looking over at me on the tee ball bench, I'm pretty sure it was because my pants were undone. Despite the uproar we caused as we became an "item", two COMPLETE opposites joining forces, we both were smitten. Awww....
So here we are today. After dating a year and a half, waiting two years while he served a mission, 4 kids and a snake later, I've still got the poor schmuck fooled into loving me!
Thirteen years ago I made the smartest, and happiest decision I could ever make! I sealed the deal with an amazing man!
Warning: It's getting pretty sappy.
Why anyone ever questioned our union is beyond me! Here's a man who's clearly a stud (see picture above) not only can he knock a HUGE animal down with a single arrow (once again see picture above) he is the PERFECT match for me. Last weekend Mat ROCKED the marathon, running a time of 3:11:45. Most men I would imagine (and rightfully so) would take the weekend to recover, relax and let their spouse spoil them. After we finally came home after a LONG day of cheering him on, and then cheering others on for another hour, and then watching the boys soccer games, he gave ME a foot rub to thank me for my support in his goal! Yeah, I've definitely got him fooled!
Love him, love our family, love our happy life we have together. 13 years down, eternity to go!
