I hate sappy posts, but this totally is one, so turn away if you aren't interested in some gushy love.

Four years ago Bart and I went on our first date. It was horrible. We both agree. Luckily for us, they have only gotten better. Since then, we have gone on approximately 208 dates. It's pretty incredible to think that only one of those 208 dates was not incredible. Some dates that are particularly memorable to me:

-Watching Rocky on the Art Museum steps
-numerous picnics
-Walking by the sculpture gardens
-Les Miserables at Walnut Street Theatre
-seeing the mice at Bart's lab
-piano concert for Bart's birthday
-The Nutcracker for my birthday
-candlelit dinners
-slumber party with pajamas for Valentine's Day
-walking along the river where we got engaged thinking about when we got engaged
-Christmas lights at Longwood Gardens

Oh Philadelphia, I will miss you desperately when we have to leave one day. Luckily for me, I get to take the best part of you with me--my sweet husband.

    Mine was pretty sappy, too. Yours in comparison was not so bad. :) Also, I'm curious as to how "seeing the mice at Bart's lab" made it on your top dates list. Makes me wonder what kinky things go on there... hm... :) Congrats on your 207 good dates. Here's to 1000+ more!

    Cute post! Have you ever tried going on your first date again? I bet it would be much better the second time around. :)

    Yes, Ashley, we have re-visited our first date -- and yes, it was far, far better on the second try!
