Today is the anniversary of Rowland and my first kiss. It was the night of the Miss America Pageant, and Rowland made me dinner that night while we watched the pageant. If I hadn’t already known what a special man he was, I would’ve figured it out that night. Not too many guys would make dinner for their girlfriend while she sat on the couch drinking wine and watched the Miss America Pageant!

Actually, I planted a kiss on him that night. He was such a gentleman that I’d probably still be waiting on that first kiss if I hadn’t attacked him! Of course, I’m sure he planned it all that way - a little wine, a nice dinner, sitting next to each other on the couch, etc., etc. He just wanted me to think that it was all my idea!

Each year since that first one, my precious husband has made me a gourmet meal complete with wine and my favorite dessert, creme brulee. I sit on my bottom with my wine while he works his tail off to make a wonderful dinner for a very special anniversary. This is the fifteenth time that he’s done it, too! I always tease him that the only reason he works so hard this one night each year is that it’s the one night each year that he KNOWS he’s gonna get lucky!! After all, if he’ll do all that work for me and still make me feel like Miss America with all of those young, beautiful girls on the screen, he DESERVES a reward!!

Thank you, my precious husband! You really are my Prince Charming!!! I adore you!!!
