Tami Photo #1

 Tami is usually the one holding the camera; so, not that many photos of her.  But I do have one photo from when she was about 17 or 18 - before I knew her.  Since these photos are so scarce, I keep this one close.  It's a little worn out, but I still love it and can't help looking at it frequently.  

I had seen her around the college campus and was impressed.  She never noticed me.  Then, suddenly, without any warning, Tami opened the door when I knocked at some friends' appartment. She didn't know me and she wouldn't even have remembered it was I that told her, in my shocked state, that she didn't live there.  She must have thought it rude cause she immediately replied, "Yes, I do."   I'm sure she thought no more of it.  But, I couldn't get her out of my mind from that moment on.  So, I married her.

I really didn't have a choice.  She had me the second she opened the door.

Now, after 26 years, she is still my Valentine.  

Happy Valentine's Day.
