15 yrs ago...

Yes that is right..15 years. Dan and I went on our 1st date. We had a choir banquet and I asked him if he was going. He of course said, "NO". And said, he "didn't get tickets." So I told him I had "an extra one". He said, "well you have a boyfriend"..I then said, "no that is why I have an extra one." "We broke up 2weeks ago" We laughed and he said, "well in that case I will pick you up at 6:30". I was totally not thinking that giving him my extra ticket meant he was going to have to take me, but he had other plans. Lets make it a date. So we walked down the hall exchanging information and giving instructions on how to get to my house. I was on cloud nine! :-)(and nervous) I have known Dan, since 9th grade...where I use to call him "TALL GUY" I am sure you can figure out why. :-) We had a great banquet dinner of BBQ and sweet tea and then afterwards we weren't ready to say good bye. So he took me home I changed and asked to go play minature golf. Then we went to his house for him to change. We had a great time and he said I won, cause I actually got a hole in one. :-D

It is hard to believe it was 15 years ago. Being on that 1st date I would have never guessed we would be married now. BUT I am soooo happy it all worked out the way it did/has! :-) The picture above is of us when we had our Sr. pictures done 3 months after we started dating. So young (17yrs) and skinny. :-)

In 2 weeks we will celebrate our 11th wedding anniversary. WOW how time flies.
