During Spring Break 2000, I had the opportunity to visit Tiffany (for the very first time) in Michigan. Our first meeting was so wonderful, romantic, and even nerve-wrecking! Here's my recollection of what happened on March 17, 2000:

With snow coming down, the plane arrived at the Bishop Airport in Flint. I stepped off the plane, trudged through some snow, and arrived at the gate's door. I quickly glanced around, but I didn't see Tiffany. So I went up the stairs and waited around by the main entrance to the airport (this is a fairly small airport). With several inches of snow on the ground, I figured that Tiffany was having trouble getting to the airport. I phoned her house, but nobody was home. So I just sat down for several minutes...still very nervous as I thought about the fact that I'd actually be seeing her in just a few moments. Then, I glanced out of the window and could partially see (through the plants) two people walking towards the main entrance of the airport terminal. I started smiling, because I just knew that it was her. It was then that she and her mom walked through the door. I was SO nervous! As she walked through the door, she spotted me sitting on the seat. I saw her beautiful face light up with her lovely smile. Then, she came up to me. I stood up, and that's when we met. We sat down at the seats where I was waiting at and talked for a little bit while her mom went off to make some phone calls. While we talked, I slowly grabbed a hold of her hand. Suddenly, I wasn't nervous anymore. Instead, I felt very good inside, calm and relaxed, as I looked into her beautiful eyes. So there we sat, next to each other, finally together, all smiles, and *VERY* happy. I noticed that Tiffany's long, dark, and gorgeous hair was a little damp (from a shower). Anyway, her mom came back, so we stood up and got ready to leave the airport. It was then that I gave her a *HUGE* hug. Tiffany says that I almost choked her from hugging her so tight!!! LOL! Heheh...the weird thing is that I didn't think that I was hugging her *THAT* tight...guess I was feeling pretty good or something! :) Heheh. So after that, we left the airport and spent a wonderful, romantic, and happy week together. It was the greatest feeling in the world to finally be in her arms...
