It was "I've found HER and I'm not looking at anyone else" even with meeting your Godmother and the the dog! Your dad didn't believe me when I told him Dan knew you were 'the one', but that you hadn't quite figured it out yet. We're all happy you did!

You're right -- you do look so happy! It's neat to have these digital archives of the early stages of relationships. That's one good thing about new technology, I suppose! I agree with Anna -- Phil was the one who finally decided after three years that, yup, he was in love with me. I had been convinced of it for years but had given up on it ever actually happening. And then, when I was least expecting it, suddenly all my friends were like "Carrie, you should see the way that he looks at you when you walk into a room." Sigh. I love young love. :) I love this picture (and it’s mysterious title). You’re right — you do look so happy! It’s neat to have these digital archives of the early stages of relationships.

I'm afraid Craig and I don't have early meeting pictures - for some reason we tended to run into each other in non-picture-taking situations. I rather wish we did, because we were friends for some years before actually dating. I wonder what showed on my face when I looked at him way back then (almost 22 years now!) What a lovely look back!

You can really tell that you were into Dan from your expression. Was it just your second anniversary this year? I think it's funny how men are always stereotyped as committment-phobes, but when it comes down to it, they are just as likely as a woman to understand a good thing when they see it. Six weeks into dating Bob, he announced that he knew we were going to get married someday. I told him he was smoking crack. Thirteen happy years later, and the magic hasn't stopped. (Neither has the crack-smoking. :) ) Too cute! You can really tell that you were into Dan from your expression. Was it just your second anniversary this year?

He did come for Christmas, although I tried to break up with him because I was worried it would ruin our friendship/working environment if it went bad, and he simply responded "No". I was so taken aback, I said, "Okay". Good thing he knew what he wanted :) Dan and I started dating in November 2001.

Didn't he come home with you for Christmas in 2001? All I knew was you left for grad school having just ended things with Eric and then came back at Christmas and we both had boyfriends. Or maybe I was so blinded by mine that I have the years all mixed up... Did I ever show you the picture <a href="http://www.city.milwaukee.gov/BicycleTaskForce3727.htm" rel="nofollow">here?</a> The picture on the right under the city hall arches has Tom in the green sweatshirt (the same one mentioned in my last comment) and yellow helmet. He's looking at someone not visible on camera, and I am pretty sure that is me, only minutes after we met. Your just-met picture is much more close-up and gleeful and fun! What a cute picture!
