10 Years Ago


This is the first known photo of 'Mikey & Ashly' - do we look young or what?

We "hung out" as a couple for the first time on February 20th, 1999! This picture was taken not long after that - it looks like March or April in the background. Ten years have gone by since this whole thing began for us. It has been such an amazing journey for both of us, and we couldn't feel more fortunate to have connected at such a young age.
You could argue that we were too young to know what we were doing back then...but we've made it this far, haven't we?


Love you Ash!

That pic is too cute. Crazy that you guys started dating just a couple of months before we did. And even more crazy that both of us worked out. Ash - today was so fun. Thanks again.

Where did the past ten years go? I totally remember when you started dating and hearing all the fun details. You have been nothing but the cutest couple ever since. Ash, I totally remember that shirt too. How fun.

Mikey, way to be a cute husband with this post. Plus, you even remember the day you officially hung out as a couple. Wow!

Love to you both. Ash, we really need to hang out soon!
