17 years ago today was a good day. I had met this woman on Myspace (hi, Tom!) and we’d been chatting and emailing for a while. On April 5, 2007 we met in person for the first time. An actual, honest to goodness date. We went to dinner at the Outback Steakhouse in Lowell and then went to a bar nearby and hung out for a while longer. It was a good date.

17 years later and we’re married. Still together. Like I said, it was a good first date.

Happy first-date-aversary, Jen. I love you more than ever.
