Today is a very special day. Three years ago, on a dark, cold Halloween night, Zack spilled two things: He spilled his beer all over the table of the bar/restaurant we were at (yes, out of nervousness), then he spilled his heart out for about two solid hours. I could barely get a word in. It was the first time after ten months of knowing each other that our feelings for each other were out on the table, kind of like that spilled beer. And it was beautiful.

Don't worry I'm not going to go into all the long and crazy details of how we got together. But from December '06 til October '07, we both were too tough for our own good. We were all "pfftt. Who does this 'Zack guy' think he is" and "pfffttt.. Alli? Alli who...." But there was Someone who knew better. Someone who had created me with this 'Zack guy' in mind, and Someone who had created Zack specially for me. And he was rootin' for us 110%. And thankfully HE is in control and not us :)

Anyways, I've literally had people ask me, what is it LIKE being married to ZACK VISCOMI. I mean, really though, what's it like! I have met people from Zack's high school, when I am introduced as Zack's wife, I watch in amusement as their eyes widen, and they whisper, "Zack...Viscomi???"

Well, it sure isn't boring that's for sure. One of the many unique things about Zack is that he will find a tiny little spot or crevice for every little trinket or object he has.

Like this acorn top, of COURSE it goes inside a beer bottle cap. Of course! I find little surprises like these all over the place.

OR, my other favorite thing - Every two feet I will find a piece of junk paper or receipt or old note or SOMEthing, crinkled up like a paper airplane. In the car, in the bathroom, on the dresser, in a cup, on the desk, on the couch. Everywhere.

Along with that, I can't count on both hands the number of people who have come up to me and said, "God bless you. Because Zack is a miracle. We prayed and prayed for him. And are so thankful those prayers were answered."

God's plans for our lives are so ironic and crazy. And I am beyond honored for God to use me in the life of someone who is so special to me, and to so many others.

I can tell you without a doubt in my mind that I have married the sweetest most caring man I have ever known. I never really knew the meaning of love until I met him, and the word "unconditional" was just a word, but I have seen it acted out over and over for the last 3 wonderful years.

Happy Halloween, Babycakes. I can't believe it's been 3 years -- but I can't believe it's ONLY been 3 years at the same time. You are so precious to me.
