First off, Happy Veteran's Day!! Hug a military person. They deserve it!
Honey, I love you and I'm very proud of you! I'm so thankful for you and others who stand up to protect our country.

I wouldn't say that Mr. Air Force and I do romantic things very often. Sure, we are very affectionate towards each other, but romance just doesn't come up that often.
But last night, we had such a sweet, romantic evening. We were laying in bed, talking about our day, when I asked him if he remembered much from our first date.
I don't know if you've read the "how we met" story or not, but our first date was no run-of-the-mill first date! Our first date was a two day event full of almost every "first" a couple can have. It was the first time to ever see each other in person, to talk to each other in person, to walk together, to hug, to hold hands, to kiss, to eat a meal together, to see each other smile, etc.
I unexpectedly met Mr. AF online Christmas 2007, and we met in person for the first time March 2008. I'm from Oklahoma and he is from Mississippi, so we met about half-way at Hotsprings, Arkansas.
As we laid in bed last night, I listened as Mr. AF recalled everything he could remember from that weekend. He recalled how nervous he was before I arrived at the gardens, and we laughed about how we both power walked the first 15 minutes of the walking-trail, with our hands in our pockets, trying to steal glances at one another. We finally stopped and he pulled me in for a good, long hug to melt away the nerves.
He talked about our lunch with my mother and sister, my mother drilling him with questions and my sister giving him death-glares (she was convinced he would turn out to be a rapist or serial-killer). He reminisced about our first kiss at the top of a tower that overlooked all of Hotsprings, and how the kiss didn't last near as long as he wanted it to!
Then there was a very romantic dinner at a very romantic, Italian restaurant (complete with live piano music and the local high school's prom night). He told me that I looked absolutely stunning, gorgeous and beautiful in my red dress (and he looked devestatingly handsome in his black suit).
We spent the evening
The next day, we went to a horse race (we are both extreme horse lovers), and he picked the winner! Unfortunately, he didn't place a bet on the filly, so we walked away empty handed. Well, not completely empty handed :) (yes, I'm being a cheese-ball again).
We went to the local park and took a few pictures, before it was time to say goodbye.
Then we
Hearing my husband recall our "first date" in full detail was the sweetest thing ever. My life has changed so much since meeting him, and I'm so glad it did! He occassionally asks me if I'm still glad I said "yes," and I usually respond "Well, duh."
