7 Years

I met Brandon in the fall of 1997. We were friends for years....through physics, differential equations, my boyfriends, his girlfriends, his rude comments after he would beat me on a test, my smug looks after I beat him in a run. We started dating in the summer of 2000. We moved apart after graduation. After that time, I knew that I couldn't ever live apart from him again. And I never have. And I never will.

A very smart woman that I worked with once told me, "It takes one heck of a man to beat having no man at all". She is right and I'm so happy to have "one heck of a man".
