Once Upon a Time . . .

Once upon a time . . . or more accurately, once upon thirteen years ago . . . thirteen years exactly. As of this week in fact. This very week.

This very week thirteen years ago was full of emotional drama, excitement, sadness, anticipation and ultimately . . . love.

Thirteen years ago this week was when a fifteen year old Matt put pride and friendship on the line when he confessed to a fourteen year old Jia that he was falling in love with her.

The entire week thirteen years ago can be relived by reading chapters six through eleven of Untypically in Love.

Thirteen years ago he was my dream. He was the most gorgeous creature to ever walk into my life and just looking at him I knew I wanted to spend forever perfecting the art of kissing him and then have thirteen thousand of his babies.

Thirteen years later all of that still applies, only now I get to do his laundry.

I find it very timely that this week we're being featured at one of my favourite sites, Man Wife and Dog for the weekly Meet a Wife Monday.

Thirteen years ago I made the best decision of my life. I only live to regret it anytime I stare down at a large pile of dirty socks in the living room. But then he kisses me and I forget all about the dirty socks. Suddenly we're teenagers again and the socks and Matt are able to once again live another day.

Thirteen is my lucky number.
