Today we shower Caitlin the bride who will have Josh forever by her side!

HOW THEY MET...His version - The first time I saw Sandra was in Miss Lindley’s third grade class at Edwards Elementary. I was scared because it was my first day at Edwards. She scooted her chair next to mine and introduced herself as "Sandy." We were instant friends. Now that we’ve found each other after all these years, I can’t imagine a day in my life without her.
...Her version - Kevin was crying for his mommy the first time I saw him. He was new in our third grade class and scared to death, with his head down on his desk. He wouldn’t look at or talk to anyone. I felt sorry for him so I sat by him and told him my name. It took 23 years to get to this point, but he is certainly worth the wait!

7th Grade Math Class, Rick Springfield Concert, Confirmation, mix tapes, Doc Martens & punk hair, road trips, getting in trouble!, snow days, the 19 bus, senior lockers, New York City, love letters, Beethoven, Guggenheim, long summers, Sauvie Island at sunset, sushi and sake, Germany, Wolfe, Frost and Whitman, Lake Erie, Crater Lake, and full circle back to where it all began. Thanks to all.
