HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good morrow, gentle folk. Don't worry, the Shakespeare ends here.

Congratulations are in store. As of today, DH and I have been married for twelve very happy years. We celebrated on Tuesday by eating sushi just like we did on our first date. Today we stayed home and are eating See's chocolates. Naturally, I spent time today reminiscing about how and when we met.

We met online at LDS Singles and emailed for four months. It was so much fun "talking" back and forth. We decided we'd better meet. So future DH jumped in his car and drove 1575 miles one way for a date.

All of my friends at work were worried. I lost count of how many times one of them would say, "Are you sure you want to meet him? What if he's a psycho Internet killer? I've heard about that happening a lot!" I reassured them that we were staying in public places and I didn't have a bad gut feeling.

As I was making dinner and remembering these things, I thought, "What if I had been the psycho killer?" Old music with new lyrics started running through my head. So without further adieu, here is my latest corruption of a familiar favorite.

ONCE UPON A (STALKER'S) DREAM,
from Sleeping Beauty

I know you, I'm fully aware of all you do.
I know you, I've stalked you for ages now.
I won't tell you how.
And I would suggest you wed me and take me to your nest.
But if you say no and marry some - GIRL,
I'll do what I must,
I don't mean "adjust",
No, I'll kill you.

If I - can't have - you then no one can.
Say you understand.
I love you forever eternally, now take my hand
Or I'll cut yours off and bury it underneath a trough.
But if I know you, I know what you'll do.
You'll recognize fate before it's too late
And marry me.

I'm not that crazy. No, really, I'm not!
The marriage thing was DH's idea!
