How I met THE one!

It's funny that when you're getting to know someone the conversation always turns to how you met your husband/wife. And although I haven't had a conversation with anyone in the "bloggy" world, this is one of the posts that's gone around. Barb at A Chelsea Morning posted the idea, so here goes:

Going to a small college, you kind of just know everyone. On our campus, there were only 2 sororities and 2 fraternities. I was a member of Alpha Xi Delta and our sorority was usually paired off with Lambda Chi Alpha, Lamar's fraternity. I knew who he was, but that was about it. I don't really remember an introduction, but I do remember the first time I noticed him other than just a Frat Boy.

I was moving back in the dorms after Christmas break and my friend Tommy brought Lamar by to my room. I thought...this is strange. I knew who he was, but we'd never really talked. From there, we hung out a lot, just talking between classes and things. We had our Sweetheart Bash coming up and the guy I was dating at the time couldn't go. So, Lamar became my "default" date...just friends, you know. From that date on, we were a couple. Our first official date was February 14, 1999.

We've now been together 7 1/2 years, married for nearly 5 and have 2 beautiful girls!! This is my Happily Ever After!

What a happy "ending" to your story. I cannot imagine life without my Mr. Right; I get even more dumbstruck when I think about the blessing of having beautiful children together too.
