Love

“Don’t find love, let love find you. That’s why it’s called falling in love, because you don’t force yourself to fall, you just fall.”

Our special number.

Today marks the 10th Anniversary of the night I met the DigitalPharaoh face to face, fell hopelessly in love and became engaged!

Yup, you heard it right.  He proposed the very same night…ah hem…morning we met. 

So it’s always a bit of an awkward conversation when someone asks how long we dated.  Uh…we didn’t.  As you can imagine, that brings a confused look.  But I have always matter-of-factly, let it be known that we met on the internet (a Yahoo Group not a dating site), met by unusual circumstances, married 3 ½ months later on my 21st Birthday (another post altogether) and had been together ever since (ok ok..a few hiccups here and there, nobody’s perfect).

10 Years and 3 Kids later…Here we are at this milestone.

So in honor of our Anniversary, I’d like list the Top Ten Reasons I Love DigitalPharaoh:

10.  He has been fixing my coffee for me for the past 10 years so now I can barely make it on my own.  I just don’t know how much sugar and how much milk makes it taste like I like it.

9.  Neither his father nor mother appears to have a balding gene.

8.  My website & branding wouldn’t be possible without him.

7.  We never have to buy those yucky school pictures.

6.  He rarely brings up the fact that I don’t give him enough credit for ________(fill in the blank).

5.  He is the most loving, caring, nurturing Father and the best Mr. Mom when I needed him to be.

4.  He spoils me rotten and pampers me no matter how little or how much we may have at the time.  (Thus the reason Little Miss Diva aka Mini Me is the way she is…trickle down theory.)

3.  Our 3 Beautiful, Brilliant Children

2.  He loves me.

1.  He lets me love him.
