~the first time I saw him in the club, December 23, 1999....after that, standing in a corner working my way to him and away from his sleezy friend! =)
~Our first kiss in my little red tracker! (he waited over 2 weeks!) Talk about giving me a complex!
~meeting his parents for the first time...his dad greets me with "I wore my good sweats for you" Christopher's laugh was so cute!
~trying to get him to smoke...haha...I still remember that sly smile!
~running my hands through his hair for hours (I miss this one)
~rubbing his back and head for literally hours until 2 am every night because I did not want him to go home.
~the day we broke up on the phone after 6 months of dating because we were not connecting anymore. (this only lasted 2 days though) Thanks to Yvette...I called him after his several tries to contact me! He rushed over and could not stop crying after that....tears all over my face...from him! Such a sweet moment!
~the many times I would check my answering machine because I was so desperate for his call! =)
~our first Valentine's day. He gave me a beautiful card that held a written mini book of his feelings and a baby wolf stuffed animal! And then....my card that said "Love, Lisa" Oops!
~Our 5th date, he opens the front door and I burst out laughing! His shirt had huge flowers...a boy should not wear those shirts...hehe...needless to say, he never wore them again!
~watching Space Cowboys at the movie theater and FALLING asleep!! Both of us!
~the day he proposed on our one year anniversary, December 23rd, 2000! Awww...he lit about 50 candles...lined them to the couch, romantic music playing, dinner was made, a dozen roses with a card that asked me to marry him! As my face turns to a smile, he gets down on one knee and proposes to me! Then, immediately takes me to the mall to trade in the ring he put on my finger for the bigger one! Ummm, NO! You cannot take away this one...the salesman thought I was insane! My ring was already special...even within that 30 minutes of wearing it!
~The day we got married September 15, 2001, the tears, the panic feeling 5 min's before the doors open to walk down the aisle, the love, the kisses, the announcement of Mr. and Mrs. Brandt!! I could not wait for that!
~The visits to my work on the weekend!
~the day we were sitting on our bed and decided to make a baby.
~the hardship of a miscarriage but, then getting pregnant with Madyson immediately after that!
~the Christmas parties for work and getting SO dressed up together!
~the intense screaming matches! Yes, we DID have those....wow, how we have matured!
~sleeping next to him and watching him laugh in his sleep...I mean full on giggles!
~the day we transitioned into a loving devoted couple, October 10th, 2004!
~the many tickles under his arms! It is hilarious to watch a big guy squirm!
~the reaction he gives me everytime I sing! Believe me, I am horrible...but, he loves it!
I could go on for days and days of all of our fun memories! But, this is a few, I NEVER want to forget!! He is the best! And when I die, he will always be able to cherish my documentations of his everlasting love and devotion for me!
I love you Christopher always and forever!
