Happy 12th Anniversary!

I made this as a surprise for

Then I had trouble with the lighting so he helped
So wasn't much of a surprise....
Plus its kinda hard to keep it a surprise when our computers are side by side

I am posting this 2 days early I know but........
I just got excited and really LOVE how it turned out so i wanted to share it !!

12 years ago on Valentines day Charlie and I tied the knot!

We met online in Summer of 2004 playing City of Heroes though a mutual friend
We didn't know tho til AFTER we got married when he recognized my character one day while I was playing.
Turns out he kicked me from the team due to a friend of mine that was on the team with me got the team killed
So cause I was the one that came with her, he kicked me too lol.

The mutual friend we both knew introduced us again on yahoo messenger a couple weeks later
Thats were we started chatting with each other everyday for 6 months on yahoo/phone
For 6 or more hours a day

Charlie bought me  a bus ticket to come visit but cause of the laws and how they changed after 9/11 I wasn't able to make the trip by bus.
I didn't have my rent receipts and passport etc that you needed
The website said, "Canadian's just needed their birth certificates"
But the website wasn't updated
I then walked 30+ blocks in the ice cold winter (-40C) back to my apartment.
I didn't bring nothing but a thin sweater cause I thought I would be on the bus and it was going to be warm.....
So I was blue/purple by the time I got home.

The next day Charlie got a rental car and he drove 14hrs to were I was in Canada from the USA and popped the question, then we ran off and got married 2 days later after we met for the FIRST time face to face.
After all that time talking online/phone, we made a promise it was once and only once, that we could work though anything.
We didn't wanna be our parents married and divorced many times.

So here is to Happy 12 years My Love with many more on the way, I love you.
Thanks for everything  you do for us, im super proud of you everyday.
For putting up with me.
Everyone says we are pretty much the same person just the M/F difference
Some thought we wouldn't make it past a year cause they thought we didn't know one another and that it was "to soon"
Cause we are both into a lot of the samethings to both having hard heads reason we clash and fight over little things at times
But we always find we can do anything and accomplish and get though anything with each other by our sides.

With Love Always,
T
