Nine.

Nine months ago today I married the love of my life. But 2.5 years ago we started hanging out all the time and this is the first picture we ever took together:

I remember this as if it was yesterday. It was August, 1. I remember the date because it was my birthday. I had finished dinner with my family and rushed over to see Garth. We hung out with my best friend and his roommate. The four of us were inseparable all summer. 5 days before this picture was taken Garth had asked me on our first official date to Olive Garden. The rest, as they say, is history.
