3 years...

Once upon a time,

there was a girl who was reasonably happy.  She wasn't a princess, or a fairy, or anything super special - she was actually a college student with the two most amazing children in the world!! - but she had the most amazing family in the entire world. 

One day,while she was minding her own business, she met the Most Amazing Man In The Universe.  Actually, she saw him from afar at her children's choir concert and felt like she got hit on the side of the head with a shovel (in a good way, of course). 

And that was the beginning of Ari + Captain Hotpants.  :)  

3 years ago (yesterday), this kind, caring, compassionate, FUNNY, loving superhero man actually married me.  ME!  And he has, every day since, cared for me and Sassypants and Monkeyface as if we were his own, because, in his eyes, we are. :)  

...and they lived happily (and silly-ly) ever after.
