Mike and I met when I was 16 and working as a cosmetic clerk at Drug Emporium in Cherry Hill. He was a pharmacy tech and just happened to wander by one day and asked if I wanted a slice of pizza. I declined the offer for a slice but it began a conversation that has continued for 15 years.

Mike is my best friend and he knows things about me that no one else ever gets to see or hear about�lucky him!

I recall our first date being bowling and Friendly�s following a break up with a previous boyfriend. As I recall from our early dates, he opened the car door, brought me flowers, he got involved in my life and listened when I talked. To this day, he still does all these things!

I keep a journal on our headboard full of the daily things that Mike does that keep this working; there are so many BUT if I had to break things down into one of my famous lists, this is how it would look:
