Aurora & I keep a folder full of all kinds of memories from us, such as: play or movie ticket stubs, pictures of events or just any that we have taken together, poems and letters we have written to each other, programs from events we have attended together, cards (for birthdays, get well soon, etc), the little dedication cards from flowers, and tons more. You can see examples...

  

     

     

Aqualung - Brighter Than Sunshine

Dilmer has been doing most of the work in this page, but finally I figured out how to post my blogs with my page. 

How we met...

We both were in high school, members of the Army JROTC program. One day we had a field trip to see a play by Shakespeare, it was Romeo and Juliet! It was required for everyone to dress in formal wear. He spotted me while we were walking back, but did say a thing. We came back early from the field trip so I was sitting in an empty room studying for a test that I was going to have, while the rest of the people were in a separate room watching a movie. He then walks into the room and tries to grab my attention. He asked me about a movie, which by the way I had no idea what it was. I said I didn't know it and he then all smooth he asked for my name. The first thing that caught my eye was his eyes, he has honey colored eyes, I can remember thinking I love his eyes. Somehow he got me to tell him a lot about myself, but when he found out I went to church, was seeing someone, and didn't see much of an interest from me we finished talking. We then didn't speak much until our sophomore year. We both started being assistants to someone. Dilmer then got promoted and I became his assistant. We argued so much and I procrastinated with all the paperwork, but yet he never fired me. At the same time we became friends, he would come to me and tell me all his personal stuff. When we started liking each other I knew everything about him, so it was not hard for me to say yes to him. I loved his outgoing personality, he is such a clown, he would always make me laugh. Until this day I still see all these great qualities in him.

How? where? and when? was your first kiss

Our story

Our first kiss was seconds after she said yes to me, but it was a pop kiss.

Our real passionate kiss was like a week after that, in front of our school auditorium. I walked her to her fifth period class (AP history) that was next to the auditorium. She gave me a pop kiss and I moved to get more....so finally I got a french passionate kiss from her. I still remember how great it felt. I was so in heaven that I even got late to my class!

so what is your story?

Today in "Everyone Loves Raymond" the episode was about Raymond having a surgery to remove his tonsils. The nurse comes out of the room and tells the family that there is something wrong because he isn't waking up from the anesthesia. The whole family starts to panic and cry as the doctor comes out seconds later and says he finally woke up.
Why I am writing this?

The show made me remember that around two years ago I had a dream that Dilmer had died. I woke up at 3 in the morning crying frantically. I guess I was still in shock so I called him at that time full of tears. He answered and said he was fine. Just hearing his voice was a relieve. The next day it really made me think what will my life be without him?, and I really don't want to know. I love him and he is a huge part of my life that I can no longer see myself without. Today watching this episode it made me a bit teary eye and am grateful for my love.
