A Happy Anniversary

Today is the 18th anniversary of my first date with Jim. :D

Jim and I met during my first weekend at college - the University of Virginia. September 8th was the football game against Clemson. UVa had not beaten Clemson in a ridiculous number of years (over 30 if I remember - Jim would know).

For our first date, he took me to the game. We sat on the hill with his fraternity. Side note - I recently found out that the hill is no longer there and now has stadium seating. :(

It was a fairly normal first date... except for the fact that my date was painted blue and orange! At the time I wasn't sure whether or not he was trying to impress me with the paint. Actually, I'm still not sure whether or not he was trying to impress me with the paint. :D

It was an incredibly exciting game - and quite remarkable in that UVa actually won!

A month later, Jim gave me a card. It had Ziggy (remember Ziggy?) on the front staring off into a sunset. Jim had printed off and taped to the front: "One month ago, as if it were destiny..."

I opened it up and it read: "UVa beat Clemson." It also had a newspaper photo of Jim cheering the victory.

What a romatic, huh?!
