THIS GUY: 8 YEARS AGO TODAY


Wade is usually the one behind the camera taking pictures of me jumping off of things, so I thought it was high time he stepped into the limelight.  He wears cute things, too, and isn't he so handsome?  I've been eyeing this sweater of his, thinking about how I could steal it from him.  I need elbow patches on everything I own.

After trying to not act awkward about taking pictures while other people were walking by, we stopped by Westport, a really fun bar/restaurant area in Kansas City, and home to the oldest building in KC that is now a bar.  Fun fact, Wade and I actually met at this bar.
It is exactly 8 years to the day when I saw Wade cross my line of sight in this bar and immediately told my friend that he looked way too cool for me.   I was a fresh faced college grad whose boyfriend had just broken up with her. I was back home living with my parents and starting my first real job.  My co-worker had told me she would take me out on the town, and we just happened to end up at Kelly's where Wade was hanging out with his friends.  It's strange how a complete stranger can come to be one of the most important people in your life.  I love this guy more and more every day and can't imagine my life without him.  He's my best friend and partner in crime.  He's always there to encourage me to follow my dreams, and also there to make me smile when I'm feeling blue.  I'm so lucky I met this random guy in a bar all those years ago.  It was the best night, and I guess he isn't that cool, because here we are 8 years later, and as the below pictures prove, I'm so not cool:)
