On Saturday, July 16, 2005, I saw him watching me from across a crowded room. Electricity flew through me. We danced, I looked into his eyes, and I fell in love.
Just like that.
And I still feel just as head over heels, if not more so, today.
Before I met Samir, I seriously thought there was something wrong with me, that I couldn't stay happy in a relationship with a man for longer than a year. My mom said I put men out like recycling!
I "joked" that I was cursed with being a "serial monogamist."
Apparently, I just needed to meet the right man. One that has truly become my friend- we laugh, we argue, we work together, sometimes we can even finish each other's sentences! We accept and repect each other's differences-yeah, sometimes after a boistrous "discussion," but, at the end, we always admire the strength and thoughtful decisions of the other.
We don't try to overshadow one another, to change each other....we also don't hesitate to point out the mistakes of each other. Not harshly, but because we want each other to succeed.
He makes me a better person. I trust him with my life- with my children's life.
And, on top of all that, he's so sexy to me that he makes my toes curl! Seriously, I still get butterflies when I am about to see him after a long day of work.
And, don't get me started on how yummy he smells!
Happy Birthday, Sweetie...and forever doesn't seem long enough.
Very sweet, honey!!!
