Love at first sight

My husband and I met in the summer of 1972 when I was 13 and he was 15. I took one look at him and fell madly in love and knew that he and I would be married some day.

I only knew him for 2 weeks that summer as his baseball team were in town to play in the regional championship games and he and his fellow team mate stayed in our home during that 2 weeks. We corresponded for a few years off and on by mail and then lost touch for over 25 years.

In 1989 I was able to locate him in AZ through his parents and we quickly reconnected, with me visiting him in AZ a few times a month. I took a job in AZ in 1990 and we dated for 4 years.

He asked me to marry him on June 7th and we were married on June 11th 1994. Our wedding was planned in a whirlwind by all of our friends at church and it was absolutely perfect.

We each had children from previous marriages, and we now share 3 beautiful grandchildren and have 2 more on the way. We are happily married today and are looking forward to many more years together.
