On October 17, 1998, Kit asked me to be his girlfriend, and we have been together ever since. So this last Saturday marked 17 years together...
Our first photo together:

October 1998, a week or two after he asked me to be his girlfriend, I took him home to meet my family, because I knew this was something really special. Yep, it was just that crazy fast!
We left that weekend with two realizations:
1. This was who we wanted to spend the rest of our lives with and proceeded intentionally toward marriage for the next 4 1/2 years and
2. If this didn't work out, my family would choose Kit over me.
I then got to hang out with his family that January of 1999 and that sealed the deal:
In those first months of college, Kit had quickly become my best friend and I realized even faster how much I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. He loves me so well and I am so thankful for who he is: in the silly and the serious, in the joy and the sorrow, this man remains my favorite of all time...❤︎
