Day 2 - Meaning behind my blog name

Nothing exciting here... life @ the stickles house.. just a peek into our everyday lives! :)

Day 3 - First Love

Well, I can honestly say that my husband is the only person that I just knew right away that I wanted to marry. There were only two other boys that I gave a little bit of my heart too though. First, was Adam in high school. He was the most perfect "first love"! Next, was Daniel in college. He was a great college boyfriend. Fun and challenging! I am so glad to say that I am still friends with both of the wonderful guys!! They are incredible people and I hope that one day they too meet their "one"! :) I met Chris right after college and we immediately fell for each other. Even through everything we went through and all the time we spent apart from each other, we each knew deep down that we were meant to be. It took no time at all for us to rekindle and decide to spend our lives together.

Ok.. I think that catches me up! Visit Katie's blog to read more! :)
