When Billy and I first started dating it was incredibly awkward.
It was awkward not because we were strangers but because we weren't.
See, we were Kindergarten classmates.
His standard joke at parties is that it took a long time to convince me.
Awww....
We became best friends round about 1997 and then decided we might want to be more than that.
You know how it goes...
A spark where there wasn't one and all that business.
On our first date we were tongue-tied and had to search for topics of conversation.
This was truly ridiculous because we had spent practically every waking moment together for months.
But, there ya go...
The awkwardness came.
During one of the painful lulls in conversation we talked about what we would have been named had we been able to choose.
He chose Dave.
I chose Lucy.
The names stuck and we still call each other that all these years later.
We chose Revelsmith as our last name after another silly conversation.
A few months ago a local magazine put out a call to couples to see what their pet names for each other were.
I responded and this month it made the last page.
Hey!
Does this count as getting published?
I say, yes!
Although...
Maybe before I get published I should figure out whether there is a comma in the phrase 'I say yes" because now I'm kinda thinking no.
I'm still thinking yes on that name though...
Seriously!
Lucy!
It's the greatest name ever.
