Do you remember the first time you saw your significant other and the feelings/thoughts that went rushing through your head? I have heard that you meet your soul mate once in a lifetime and you know it is them when you experience that first connection. I remember the first time I saw my wife and all I could think was this is the woman I will spend the rest of my life with. I was determined to make her my wife. I can remember the way she smelled, what she was wearing and the look on her face when we first met. She is a part of who I am, who I want to be and she inspires me to want to become more. My wife is a very special and strong woman in my life. She has always been the rational person in our relationship. We met for the first time through a mutual friend and the funny thing is the first date we had I feel asleep on her couch. I still remember how soft her skin was and how gentle she was when she ran her fingers through my hair. I could not believe she even went out with me again. With each date we had my heart grew fonder and I knew she was the one. We share a love for the classic Disney movie “Toy Story” and we have our own little nicknames for each other. I love to listen to her soft tones of her laughter especially when she does not realize I am listening. She gave me confidence to be the man I never knew I could be and she encouraged me all the way. I heart would flutter every time she smiled and/or touched me. While trying to make her laugh I did not noticed that I had fallen in love with this beautiful woman both inside and out. After about a year of dating I knew I had found my soul mate. With each moment I spent with her I tried to live like it was my last. We had decided to take our relationship to the next level and actually went from dating to a serious relationship. We were now a couple and I was the happiest man on earth. She
