First off let me say a huge Thanks to Monica for letting me in on this fun Valentines Carnival! How great it is to share our own personal love stories. My personal belief is why read someones else’s romance navels when you are writing your own EVERY DAY! (there is much more to this conviction but that is another post entirely!) Hubby and I met My Sophomore year of College. We attended a Bible College in New York State! We actually didn’t meet through college but through the church we attended. This is a small feat since the school only had 250 students at the time and EVERYBODY KNEW EVERYBODY. I knew two things about hubby back before he was hubby…and that was he had red hair (a huge Plus) and that he plays the violin beautifully! Well we worked in the AWANA program together and he took over the yellow team for me. I was dating someone else at the time and was at the end of that relationship. It was a hurtful relationship. One evening the other guy had to go home and help his parents for the weekend and I had a ministry opportunity with the AWANA program…I asked the boyfriend if I could ride with the red-haired fellow and apparently he didn’t feel threatened and he said yes. SO…I rode with Hubby to the AWANA game night with my hands under my lap and staring at the dash board of his astro van. A few weeks later hubby would be the first to know I broke up with the boyfriend as we Participated in Color Wars together….That was our college’s way to deal with end of the year finals week. Lots of fun activities to deal with the stress. I was on the winning team the year before but this year was going to be difficulty..I was captain of the red team along with another gal and we only had 4 participators so hubby and I saw each other everyday for one activity. At the end of the week I left for home In Pennsylvania and he left for home in the Rochester Area. By the end of the summer I had resolved that I wouldn’t date anyone else from the school and that my soul purpose just as it was when i came to college was to focus on ministry and to enjoy my friends….and that’s exactly what I did starting my junior year! Stay tuned to find out about my first date……
