This is so easy to tell about–because we never had a first date. We weren’t dating type of people….It was more like a beautiful friendship that grew into a mutual fondness and love for one another. After my summer of resolving not to date anyone else from that Bible College and to have a great time with my friends I came back refreshed and renewed! My first month was great. Every Sunday evening I would get back from church and Hubby was on security..he worked as the evening Security Gaurd and graveyard shift security guard… We talked about what the pastor had spoken on. We enjoyed talking together and one day i knew something wasn’t quite right. He looked at me differently. We sat in the cool grass waiting for the church van to pick us up for church and all of a sudden I was covered in GRASS.. he had thrown grass at me! I was shocked and scared…HE WAS FLIRTING! I tried to hook him up with my roommate and I cried to a dear friend….He would choose to sit next to me at everymeal and I was not sure what to do…I DID NOT want anyone any time soon! Well that night after I criend to a friend about my lack of readiness he and I talk and he basically told me I don’t like you like that….Then I was mad….GO FIGURE! We didn’t speak for some time. I was upset that he sat with another girl in church and so …i am not sure what happened next but I basically came clean and told him I was mad at him…It blew his mind…he and the other girl had been friends since they were very young! Needless to say there came a day when we had to start somewhere. That was a big day. Hubby is a genious. He is so very smart. While in Bible College he got a 4.0 in a semester when he took 30 credits…That 24 from our college and 6 correspondence through moody. He squeezed 4 years of college into 2 and a half and took Greek and Hebrew at the dame time and STILL got a 4.0. So needless to say he NEVER skipped a class. Well one day he left some chocolate in my box and went to go get some sleep after he worked the midnight to four shift on security. What I didn’t know was that he was driving to my parents house to talk to them. He was meeting with them to ask permission to court me with the intention to marry me the following year! When I got out of class he said he would be there so i waited and waited and waited. He didn’t show up Finally i founf my roommates boyfriend and asked if he (hubby) had borrowed his can…..My roommates boyfriend is a bad liar…So I knew something was up. Finally i saw hubby roll in …in that guys car…I stared asking questions…I had to drop something off in the academic affairs building and as we were entering Hubby’s mentor was exiting and he said…”So everything went well ” To which I saw hubby frantically shake his head and draw his fingure across his neck…Okay so now I knew soemthing was up! So after I dropped of my paperwork the questions began to fly/ and he said lets go for a walk! Just off campus the was a quite place that we liked to sit and look at a river. As we sat there He slipped his arm around my shoulders and told me he loved me and asked if I would court him with the intention of marrying him in a year! And I said yes! Tomorrow will be the story of our engagement!
