Today is a special day

Today is the 12th anniversary of when Mark and I first met.  I wrote up a little story about it.  I knew from first sight that I would marry him some day.  On June 21, 2003, I did just that!  Mark and I met online, he saw my profile at "Love @ AOL" and responded!

He had emailed me and we'd been talking for a few weeks. We decided to meet in the middle between our homes in Morrisville, VT and Milton, VT. So we met in Jeffersonville. Just me, and Mark, and my over-sized Bull Mastiff and Rottweiler mix puppy, Bubba. He brought me flowers and a box of treats for Bubba. So, Bubba was hooked, love at first sight. We went for a drive over the Notch. Didn't talk much, as Mark is not a talker. But by the end of the drive, he asked me out again. And before we said goodnight, Mark asked permission to kiss me. And then he asked "tongue or no tongue". I knew that night, when I saw him in his nice black Levis in his beautiful Black Dodge Dakota Sport truck, that we would be married some day.

We are in the middle of fostering and having a fundraiser in the hopes of adopting.  It can be quite expensive, which makes me sad when there are so many children who need a good home.  We're considering a special needs adoption, an older child, which would be virtually free through the state.  The waiting just stinks!!



And finally, what would a Mindi blog post be without some sort of sales pitch?  My friend is currently having a Tastefully Simple party for our benefit.  Please take a look, share the link, invite friends.  Thank you!
