Ahhhh, I'm old, so don't hold me to the exact year or anything, but fifteen years? Ish?

We knew each other before we were friends, so the exact year is kinda nebulous in my head

That's similar to what I was considering saying - my wife and I disagree whether we met when I was 22 or 23 and all the services we used to talk back then (IRC server, Skype, AIM) are gone, so there are no easily accessible records.

That said, I'm about to turn 38, so also fifteenish years is how long I've known her. We got married about seven years after that.

I really wish there had been a way to export all the teamspeak records, because we were cracking each other up left and right.

I did go through and copy/paste some of the Skype conversations, but that was just for some of the silly poetry and such that I wrote to her, and after I put it into a .doc file, I cleaned it up, and I can't remember if any of it had dates listed if I hadn't.

This is why people keep diaries lol.

I agree with you ... But the contention mentioned above is mostly just a joke between us now. The good news is that I plan to be with her the rest of my life and die before she does, so how long we've been together is less of a concern to me than how long we will be!

Amen to that :)
