photo of a photo - hard to believe 10 years was pre-digital for many

here's a bit of our story:

judah and i met at myw when i was 18 and he was 20.

we were on staff there together.  

it was my 4th summer volunteering at camp, his first.

a friend of his talked jude into coming to work at camp...

but then he got a 'real' job and couldn't come anymore.  

jude still came.  i'm so glad he did!

i had an immediate crush on the new cute guy.  

actually, i think the crush started when i heard there was a guy 

named judah coming to work at camp (love the name!).

we became great friends that summer, spending most of our time together.

he was the first guy i could sit and chat with for hours.

come september i was moving to bc for my first year of university 

and he was heading back to windsor for his third.  

the week before i left, he took the bus twice to mississauga to visit me...

 i was hoping that was a good sign - maybe he liked me?!  

it wasn't until october that i got a letter from him telling me how he felt.  

best. day. ever.

by christmas (when i was home from bc) it was official.

we dated for a year and a half and got engaged, 

a year and a half later (too long) we were married!  

10 years now...still going strong!

kinda fun to think back to how it all started...

judah - being with you is a dream come true!

love you forever.
