Our e-friends, Dan Zadra & Kobi Yamada, released a book called “2” a while back…
…and since Kev and I are celebrating our 8th wedding anniversary today, I thought it would be fun to blog about something lovey-dovey that Dan and Kobi included in their book. It’s called the six-word love story.
Here are some examples they included in the book:
And (because I was completely fascinated by the idea) here are a couple more neat ones I found while surfing around online (waaaay past my bedtime) last night…
Unbeknownst to my darling hubby (who was fast asleep at our normal bedtime), I spent much of the evening creating as many six-word love stories as I could think of. I plan on driving him borderline crazy with them sharing them with him throughout the day today. The hopeless romantic in me hopes it doesn’t make his brain hurt he finds the whole thing as fascinating and absolutely addicting as I do.
I’m saving the mushy ones I came up with for Kev, but I thought my fellow house-fixer-uppers would get a kick out of this one that popped into my head at 5:35 am this morning (I immediately rolled over and texted it to myself so I wouldn’t forget it- ha!):
“Wild houses couldn’t drag me away.”
This afternoon we’re going out for a meal and a movie, but if you feel like sharing your six-word love story in the comments section here today, I would absolutely LOVE to read through them with my mister tonight!
And Happy 8th Anniversary (our 4th is October 4th) But with five children between us, and the oldest being 31, we’re hardly youngins like yourselves. Ha!
He’s still the one I want.
Love these Layla!
Imperfect me + Imperfect you = Perfection 🙂

He chased me.
(I ran slow.)
Forgot my name, gave me his.
We went to college together and when he forgot my full name he gave me my nickname (which has stuck) and then 6 years later changed my last name too! Expecting our 2nd child together and celebrating 6 wonderful years! Congrats Kevin and Layla 🙂 Loved reading everyone’s love stories!!!!

Favorite passenger and partner in everything.
Shared a seat, shared a love!!
We’ve been married 19 years this July, still get butterflies and cannot wait for him to get home. We have one son who is gonna be 16 and one who is 3. Never will forget riding home from school with my cousin in a chevette, yes she had a chevette but it was wheels, he was the brother of her boyfriend, and instead of sitting in the back he said just sit up here with me in the front, yeah I know, no seatbelts and that was dangerous but we crammed into the tiny passenger seat of her chevette and the rest is history, I love thinking back on this!!! We were young and so in love, maybe we need to find a chevette somewhere and see if we can recreate this, ha!!!
Wearing toga, shy girl finds love.
{For real! We met at a toga party at a Baptist university — hee, hee! Been married 19 years.}
Happy Anniversary!
This is so cool!
Let’s see…..

Yes, we really met 33 years ago at the gas station…back when they pumped gas for ya!
Friends since kindergarten. Love since 23.
1. House flooded mid-honeymoon. Fired. Pregnant.

Worth the wait, now let’s procreate!
Wishing you the best and continued Happiness.
My 6 word love story:
Married Young. Divorced. Back together forever.
Met in church. Blessed 28 years.
Happy anniversary! I couldn’t come up with a 6 word love sotry myself, but I enjoyed reading everyone else’s-
Internet Romance.
It Worked!
Forever Love.
Happy anniversary! 8 years is quite an accomplishment these days – so thanks for giving other young couples hope {and for boosting up the sagging national average}. My hubby and I have 20 wonderful years to God’s credit, not ours. Especially considering that one of our first ‘dates’ was in a cemetery!
Hard to choose just 6 words!
Helpmate to Patrick by God’s design.
Blind date. Total opposites. One heart.
My husband is away on buisness…for a month and 1/2!!! I miss him:( Happy Anniversary to you two!!
Eyes met. Future set. No regrets.
19 years on July 14. Been through a lot. Health issues for wife (auto-immune up the wazoo), son (leukemia…16 and still fighting it) and the usual ups/downs of a 12-plus years of remodeling and restructuring our house…almost there (of course, now the “old stuff” needs a new look…we keep saying that we didn’t buy a house we bought projects!).
Take care Kev & Layla. Congrats on 8 years and growing!
