Tomorrow, August 1st marks a momentous date in history; my history, Coach's history, your history. The worlds history.
Ok, maybe not the ENTIRE world, but most of it.
It was 30 years ago tomorrow that I was asked (kinda last minute) to join some friends for a Robert Plant concert; one guy had an extra ticket and no date.
Me? "Sure"
I figured if he was a dud, I had two girlfriends with me.
When the carload of peeps picked me up I realized that I've seen this guy a few times, but didn't know his name. Actually, I'd been to a party at his apartment....but still didn't know his name until now.
What can I say, it was the 80's, I was a mere 17 it didn't always pay for me to pay attention.

We had a great time; I recall the entire drive back home we were liplocked.
Hey, I'm not easy, but I like kissing!
The rest is history people. A dud he was NOT.
Now, had this happened this day in age, there would be photographic evidence of the date.
BUT, we don't actually have a photo of us together until Halloween.
Halloween 1985 |
Our first actual photo and I look like a hooker. Oh well, he forgot to put on a shirt, so we're a match made in heaven.
It only took me a few minutes to realize that he was nothing like the toads I'd previously locked lips with.
I might have dressed like a hooker, but I was smart enough to know a good guy when I saw one.

It's no secret that I also share my heart with Dave Matthews.
Of course, Dave Matthews does not know this, but the Coach does. He's always been supportive of my secret relationship with Dave and even encourages us to see each other once a year. I know. He's a fantastic husband. So, this Saturday, on the anniversary of our first date, we're having a little rendezvous with Dave. Just don't tell Dave's wife.
Truth be told, he's nothing compared to my Coach. But I don't want to hurt his feelings after all the years that we've been secretly NOT dating each other.
I'm sure you're wondering if I've ever locked lips with Dave.
Well, honestly NO.
There's this little obstacle called a RESTRAINING order.
Anyhoo....who can deny that the Coach and I go together like peanut butter and jelly, rice and beans, like fine wine and smelly cheese, like pork chops and applesauce.
I could go on and on....but you get the gist of this.

Wishing you all a fabulous weekend with those who you love; whether they know it yet or not.
XOXO
