Anniversary of Mine and Patrick's first Kiss

I can't belive I remembered this. When I was 18 I went to Florida to

visit Patrick Pittman... My boyfriend at the time was serving a mission in

Argentina and I was going to be true to him.

Well maybe not. Me and My best friend were able to visit Tampa Florida

for a whole week. We did various things. Let's see what I remember.

We went to Bush Gardens, Universal Studios, some Knight dinner with food and a show,

and then of course we went to the beach.

At the beach Patrick told me that he loved me for the first time.

I was speechless, and I didn't reply back to him that I loved him,

I didn't know what I felt. I wonder what He thought of that...

Anyway. We had a wonderful week, we held hands and just had fun.

No kissing though. On the way home... patrick and his friend drove to

pick us up and return us safely home...

Patrick was sitting in the back and I was sitting up front as we shared driving.

Kathy was driving at the time. Patrick was supposed to be sleeping.

But, he just couldn't resist me, hehehe. How we did this I'll never really know.

But, we shared the most memorable kiss of my life.

Was it then that I knew it was right? I had never felt like this with anyone.

How exciting and frighting at the same time. He was so sweet and gentle.

It was as if we were all alone on that beach where he said I love you.

It was 14 years ago this week... hard to believe. I went down there thinking

I loved one person, and came home realizing I never really loved anyone until I met Patrick. Anyway... 10 months later he moved up to to where I lived and he still had

that affect on me. I met him for breakfast one morning and he kissed me goodbye,

And not even 4 miles down the street I was still "Twitterpated"

and I got in my first wreck ever. Not very funny then, but I kind of

treasure that moment because I can still remember that feeling I had deep down,

that I know today as the purest form of love. Here is a poem that I found

for all those that love the one they are with and still remember how it started.

I ran up the door, opened the stairs,

said my pajamas and put on my prayers -

turned off my bed, tumbled into my light,

and all because he kissed me good-night!
