Four

We met

casually in 1997 at Princeton, NJ

maybe in 1999 but I can't really remember

grateful and sobered in 2001, a wedding in California

cautious and intrigued summer of 2002, emails from Georgia to Missouri and back again

curious and butterflied and ice cream in hand, fall of 2002

with his car full and dreams for a future, fall of 2003

with a ring and a question, winter of 2004

at the alter

four years ago

today.

And now there are four.

And now there are Four.
