Love+Fireworks=Us

I'm about to tell you a story that has changed my life forever but please keep in mind I'm terrible at writing and it never sounds as good as when Eric does it.

It was July 4 2002 at my friend and I Lindsay were at the town park(Waukee, IA) and we were hanging out and she started talking/flirting with this guy Aaron well in return he invited to a party his friend was having.

We drive out to the country to this guys house and see a bunch of people in a hot tub singing Kenny Chesney's song "One bottle of wine and two dixie cups...." As I was standing on the side I saw him. Eric Slaughter thump, thump, my heart I had been wildly infatuated with this idiot Mormon boy that I had semi-dated but Eric slipped this turd of a guy out of my thoughts.

We talked I was told he had a girlfriend...of course. We watched Top Gun because that's what you do right? And finally after spending hours talking to this guy and starting pathetically at him.......I totally kissed him, I know I'm a home wrecker but it was worth it. And I gave him my phone number and said "Call me when your single".

I told my mom the next day that I met the boy of my dreams, that he had a girlfriend and that I kissed him. Yikes!! Who knew this boy would end of being the love of my life and the father of my children. I'm a lucky woman and love that 4th of July always reminds me of that night.
