Jason and I decided that we would try to live without the TV for a while. One to save money, two to save time, three to not watch all the junk on TV. So these past few nights have been interesting because normally we just relax and watch TV together. So we had to replace it with something. I decided to get out our memory book from our whole relationship together and read it. (Jason likes this stuff too, so it is fun for us to do.) It was so cool, because we have a ton of emails and letters that we wrote to each other when we were dating. I found a poem that I love that I thought I would share.
Jason wrote this to me 2 months after we started dating. I was still living in Oceanside during the week, because I was finishing up High School. Jason was in college in Palm Springs, so I would only see him on the weekends.
Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich vs My Natalie
Peanut Butter comes both smooth and chunky,
Your favorite stuffed animal is a monkey.
Peanut Butter's best friend is jelly,
My favorite position is when I lay with my head on your belly.
Jelly is sweet and doesn't cost much money.
Just like you but you are much more funny.
These two ingredients fit perfectly in bread,
just as the two of us do spooning in bed.
You put them together and you have quite a treat,
A sandwich and a girlfriend that can't be beat.
I prefer my P&J's fresh and cold not cooked,
I'm afraid to admit that I think I am hooked.
I can't get enough of this dessert slash meal,
And I can't get enough of the way you make me feel.
Now I vaguely remember my first bite and its bliss,
But I can never forget the night of our first kiss.
I guess what I'm saying is that jelly is good red or blue,
But in the end I will ALWAYS choose you!
I know, he was a great boyfriend, and it's only gotten better since then. It is always fun to take a trip down memory lane. I just can't believe that we have been together and super happy since 2002! That's not supposed to happen in this world, right? I just feel like I am the luckiest girl in the world to have a hubby like him.
By the way, the no cable thing, is harder than I thought it would be. I say for any stay at home mom, keep your cable!
This is one of the first pics. Jason and I took when we were dating. Yes, I was 16!
We both got a job at Mimi's Cafe. I know how cute! I was a hostess and he was a server so I made sure he got all the good tippers!
A few months after we started dating we took some pics down by the beach. I love this one because of our eyes.

Nat, you guys are sooo cute together! I loved reading the P&J poem, it was adorable. You should definitely do some more flashback posts on your blog!
I love that! What a poet your Jason is.
It's always great going down memory lane. You think you can't love them anymore than you already do and boom years later there's so much more than you ever anticipated!
Wow!! I seriously couldn't do that Nat!! You are a strong women. Well you better get on reading those Twilight books. You and Jason are so cute!
Hey, I hope you don't mind me lurking on your blog. I found you off of Lisa's. I love to see older pictures from when people dated. I think it's fun to see where we have all come.
