This is a photo from my first date with my husband. This was the first night we met in person. It was also my birthday. Now you are either thinking, “Well, I guess freaks DO meet on the internet” or you are thinking, “How could this be? They are that silly and open with each other on the first night of meeting?”. YES, We are silly, and we love that about each other. YES, we were comfortable within the first few hours of being together. YES, it WAS love at first sight. Okay, okay…that one was hokey….. but I certainly knew from the moment I met Benjamin Jay Zimmerman that I was going to spend the rest of my life with him. NO, we are not the perfect fairytale. NO, we are not exactly alike; we have commonalities, but in all honesty we are complete opposites in many ways…..we complement each other. I’m a wide awake fish ready to swim, he’s a dead fish ready to be sushi.

Many a wise couple has passed on one of the most important keys to a successful marriage: a sense of HUMOR. Seems we had that one from the start… the challenge in lies keeping it up for the rest of our lives!!!
