Just Remember

It�s just one week ago, that I married my long -time boyfriend Joel. Now I�m the proud Mrs. Madden :-)

At this moment we�re at the airport of L.A. and wait for our plane.

We`re gonna fly to this country, where we met the very first time � Australia.

As we had to be here so early, I�m so tired. That�s the reason why I fall asleep so quikly in the plane.

"Get up, Sweety! We�re landing! ", my husband wakes me up affectionately. The view out of the window is adorable. It�s night and you can see a few lights�very beautiful.

Joel smiles at me. "What?" I have no idea, why he�s smiling at me like he does. "Nothing! It�s just, that I�m happy to be in this country, where I met my big love!", he�s still smiling. I just could answer this.

"We wish you a nice stay!", sounds the voice from the speaker. "We`ll have!", I whisper.

The taxi brings us to our hotel in Queensland safely. "Sweetheart, I wanna see Uluru and of course the Opera House in Sydney!", I remember Joel. "But don�t forget, that we�re going to go to the Crocodile Hunters Zoo tomorrow!" "How could I forget this?!?!",

Joel has problems to wake me up next day. But he gets it :-)

"Come on, Honey! Remember, we want to go to the zoo!", he is really excited.

This zoo is this place, where we met. I just need 15 min. in the bathroom.

"Now we can go!", I say. "OK!"

I can really hear, how happy he is. We just need 45 min. from our hotel to the zoo.

But that�s ok. As long as we�re in the zoo right now :-)

We�re walking hand-in-hand through the zoo. Suddenly both of us stop. We look at each other. "Here is it!", we say at the same time.

At this moment, it�s like a flashback. I really could see how I walked there, 7 meters away from us, 3 � years ago.

I looked at the wallabys, standing next to me. I really liked them, they were so cute.

Well, I turned and crashed into somebody. "Oh, I�m sorry��I�m Joel!", he said 3 � years ago.

One month after this crash, we had our first date and it was so romantic. After one more month, we were a couple.

And now after 3 � years, we are Mr. and Mrs. Madden.

I could never forget this place where I found my perfect guy!
