Nine Great Years

So today marks anniversary number 9 for me and Jamie Lou. I like to say it feels more like 19, but I kid, that is what I do. So here is our story........

A long time ago in a land far away (Indianola) lived a devastatingly handsome Kappa named Cam. He loved college, in fact he was quite good at it, more to the fact if the evil mother (sorry Donna) hadn't made him graduate he'd probably still be in college being that old creepy guy that buys minors beer. But that is another story. So one dark and stormy night a trip was made to Hooters in the great emerald city of Des Moines, Chad was there and so was Rusty. But one had to drive home, Oh who would be? The one that couldn't drink. The one that had to drive. A plan was hatched, a Roshambo (rock-paper-scissors) tournament was set into motion, and while the details are quite fuzzy the results are remembered well. Chad and Cameron came out on top while Rusty, poor sweet Rusty, was left to drink soda. Then an amazing thing happened to Cam and Chad's delight (and Rusty's dismay), The bar tender (who also was from the far away indianola, but commuted to Des Moines for work) name Misty Miller who we had only seen from afar knew us (I think that was her name this was a long time ago) . Not only knew us but sent us free beer, lots of free beer. This was going to be the greatest night of their lives. They were happy, Rusty was kind of mad, a little sweaty, kinda scared, and a little hungry. But the majority of us (2 of 3) were more than happy. After much good cheer the trip home was made. After arriving at the royal castle (Kappa, hey it was made for a king right?!?) something was noticed lurking in the hallways. Something the three of us had only come to know as "blond girl". You see everywhere our three heroes went there was Blond Girl. It seemed random enough, until the 15th random meeting. that dark and stormy night. And that night was the first time I really met and talked with Blond Girl, errrrrr Jamie Lou my long time stalker errrrr future wife to be. I can't speak for the rest of them, but that did end up being one of the better nights I have had.

Hey maybe some of those things mean nothing to you. If not all you have to do is ask! Maybe over a beer or a glass of wine sometime some stories can be told. Maybe you were at some of these, if so I hope you had as good a time as we did.

Jamie Lou it has been a fun 9 years, and while some would say "Hey we gave it a good run, better than most" Not me, I'm saying Thank you for that last 9 here's to 51 more (or more than that, I don't want to seem greedy)

And you people said it wouldn't last, you know who you are, I am coming to get you, Actually I made that last bit up, just to make you reflect if you were one of those people. If you were actually one of those people, shame on you. But if you have never thought that, then thanks for all your support.

Happy Anniversary Jamie Lou!
