Nine years ago today, I was doing my best to keep myself busy, driving around town with an old friend who I've since lost touch with, wondering how long it was going to be until 7 p.m., when I could finally, finally see my lovely Elizabeth so we could go ahead and get married and celebrate!

What an awesome rollercoaster ride the last nine years have been, and my heart has never been happier. My life truly started when I met Elizabeth.

And now I'm waiting once again, for her and our son Drew to come meet me for lunch and take me away from work and the mundane world for an all-too-short time... Later!
