May 24, 1993

It will be 15 years ago on May 24th that I met my husband. It is one of things that I will never forget. My friend Celie and I went to Cancun for a vacation. I had just finished my Master's. The first night we went out to eat and then we went to a nightclub to dance. We were standing there. I was drinking my Diet Coke and a man came up to us and started talking to us. He asked us about our vacation and what places we planned to visit. Then he said to me "My friend wants to meet you." He turns and points out Jimmy. I couldn't believe it. I turned to look at the handsomest man I every saw. I thought for sure he was thinking of the wrong girl because he was so handsome and things like this never happened to me. The rest of the night pasted in a blur as we danced and talked the night away. I know it is crazy that I took a chance on a romance on vacation but I am glad I did. I couldn't have found a person more suited for me. He is my calm when I feel overwhelmed by life. He is my support when I need it. He has brought spontaneity, creativity and music (I can actually attempt to guess an artist of a song now... before I would look at him and tell him you have got to be kidding if you think I should know this.) into my life. At the end of the day, I can't wait to come home and tell him all about my day and I can't wait to hear about his.
