july 1, 2004. this is the first picture sam & i ever took together. we aren't even officially dating here. we're just barely "in like."
it was summer break & sam had come to seattle from eastern washington with his dad & brother to see a mariner's game. i was home from wsu for the weekend & well, long story short (i'm skipping the part where i ate a whole plate of garlic fries & almost hit a pedestrian while driving, you're welcome) sam ended up extending his stay in seattle & catching a ride back to school with me, sending his dad & brother home by themselves. i think they call that "seeing about a girl."
we went to another mariner's game & spent some time hanging out downtown. this was the weekend that totally sealed the deal for me. i wanted to be this guy's girlfriend. i really really liked him. things with sam just came naturally... it was like i had met my best friend. conversation came easy, i felt like i'd always known him. he thought i was funny, & i felt like i was funnier around him. we had the same sense of humor & i laughed at everything he said. genuinely.
after a year & a half of dating, almost five years of marriage & a baby later, i still feel the same way. not only am i totally in love with him, i still really really like him. he's still my best friend & he still makes me a better person each & every day.
we're truly, madly, deeply "in like."
