Two years ago today, I married my best friend.  We had humble beginnings -

He worked at the school library and I always got to school at least half an hour before class started.  It all began with a look and a smile – as it always does.  I noticed he would smile at me differently.  And by differently, I mean we had to sign in to use the computer lab in culinary school and he would be that guy that signed you in.  Whenever I would go in, he had on this smile…the kind that you had when you were say, 6 years old and walked in FAO Schwartz or a sweet candy store or when you saw your first whole lechon with its crispy skin, succulent meat and delicious sauce.  Okay off the topic but you get what I mean.  That goofy ear to ear grin when you see something you really really like.

We started talking soon after that.  And like many relationships we’ve had our ups and downs – and a fair share at that!  This isn’t anything out of the ordinary because there are plenty love stories out there in this big bad world.  But this is ours and it’s special to us.

We’ve come a long way…and I’m so very happy to be with you still.  Here’s a toast to two years and a drink for many many more.  I love you Matthew Ryan Wilson.  Always and forever!
