                          | Ode to my Husband |  
                          | In honor of our 16th anniversary today. 
 Ode to My Husband
 first time I saw you—seventh grade mixer
 cute freshman
 cool stereo
 singing Christmas Carols on the table
 In 9-16—one of the cool kids
 me? just a gangly, awkward seventh grader
 
 High School
 marching band camp
 everyone is there—following the rules
 you walk in and break every rule with your hawaiin shorts that don't match your hawaiin shirt that doesn't match your hawaiin hat and sandals carrying your trombone with no case
 .......interesting........
 
 I run for sophomore class treasurer
 you learn my name
 after you notice my red shorts
 conversations
 skipping school for doughnuts
 talking on the stage
 would you like some Christmas cookies?
 you don't show up for Christmas cookies
 but you do ask me out
 first date—friday, january 11, 1987
 .....i'm a girl—that's why I remember.....
 lady & the tramp
 breadsticks at noble romans
 sledding
 first kiss
 fireworks
 
 you dump me for Gloria
 you come crawling back
 (it's my poem—my version lol)
 
 dates every weekend
 love letters from college
 love letters from home
 engagement ring on my 18th birthday (or was it the day after...)
 
 miami university
 brunos & movies on monday nights
 western campus in the rain
 lunches in wells hall
 the young & the restless after
 study? what's that?
 
 we're in love—we should be married now!
 too young
 surveying & corn dogs
 arts & crafts in the park and waitressing
 long summer
 cold feet
 
 rehearsal dinner at the pool
 fair parade
 tears
 crabby bride
 good champagne in the limo
 fun reception
 more champagne
 condoms and icing on the car
 galena
 fighting
 too young
 
 oxford pike trailer park #307
 .....burned down now.....
 great sex
 lots of arguing
 first child trixie
 too young
 
 alaska
 call to ministry
 sumc
 seminary—thank you helen dornetti
 osu, not perry
 rough times
 long years
 too young
 new appointment
 full time job
 almost all falls apart
 
 illinois
 Max
 a new start
 a renewing
 
 goshen
 yorktown drive
 drawing together more
 xavier
 
 lima—close to family
 move
 lucy
 move
 eli
 move
 the cement year
 
 I love you, Bryan—with all that I am and all that I have. I'm so glad God put us together and has kept us together. You are my soulmate & my life partner. You complete me and make me whole. A
