I was going to wait until the anniversary of meeting Kevin next week to talk about how we met, but a search of my Gmail account (if you're using unsearchable email, why bother?) turned up something so amazing, I had to start today.
I like it not only because it's funny, but because it's so sad and scary. I know some of you are single and you worry about being alone or "settling." Well, I hope you take heart that I got this email exactly three years ago, the day before my future husband's first email to me. Kevin hates clichés, but "it's always darkest before dawn" is pretty appropriate here:
Hi daddymac.
Were you almost dating Anchorman?
ReplyDeleteSo. close.
ReplyDeleteI would have hung in there long enough for the mustache ride.
ReplyDeleteEven after three years I'm going to go with too soon.
ReplyDeleteI know, I feel like Jim just violated me. Is this how you talk about your buddy's wife? You just wait until your daughter gets a little older, I'm introducing her to Paduch.
ReplyDeleteWhy wouldn't you go out with a guy who's handle was daddymac?
ReplyDeleteA short list of things I've spent the last four weeks teaching Katherine:
ReplyDelete-Look both ways
-Don't talk to strangers
-Lemon is not a 'weird' flavor
-The Clouthers will try to mislead you
