(wait...this is the world w...LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:<br /><br />(wait...this is the world wide web...how about this...)<br /><br />CITIZENS OF EARTH:<br /><br />Exactly eight years ago today, my entire life changed forever. Let me share with you how...<br /><br />On the day I learned that I had passed the Bar Exam and could practice as an attorney, my very first walk-through-the-door-client was a man named Grant Lebsack. Grant was facing murder and public indecency charges. JUST KIDDING! He actually came to me about a business matter. At any rate, as we worked together, we developed a relationship (and I mean that in a manly sort of way). His wife Lynn and I would occasionally have lunch together and even attend local sporting events. I didn't like Lynn, but I tried to be polite. JUST KIDDING! <br /><br />One day, Lynn suggested that I meet her sister Karla. We agreed that I would meet her for lunch at a very unique, exotic restaurant called Applebees. So, after church on August 18, 2002, I met Lynn, Grant, my future nephew Elliott, and Karla at Applebees. <br /><br />Some moments in life are so dense that they appear to happen in slow motion, like we're moving through a gelatinous haze. That's the way it was when I met Karla. She had long brown hair and striking green eyes that were alive and completely focused on the conversation. We talked about her job and my law practice. She pretended to be interested. I pretended that I was cool and refined. But when I left the restaurant that day, I called a friend of mine and told him I'd just met the girl I was going to marry. I knew then.<br /><br />Of course, in the years since we've been through several moves and jobs. We've had two children. We've traveled this country and have journeyed to the other side of the world. Through it all, I thank God that He blessed me with Karla. Many times I wish I could be a better "blessing" for her. I got the better end of the deal, and I don't ever forget that.<br /><br />So today is an anniversary of sorts--the first time we met. It looms bigger in my mind than our wedding anniversary, because when you meet Karla, it changes your life. Mine was never the same after this day eight years ago. She is the love of my life; I can't imagine life without her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070438059579643261.post-50874609341172720652010-08-11T20:01:41.341-05:002010-08-11T20:01:41.341-05:00I love these photos, Karla!
