Yes, Happy Anniversary Mark!

Devil sent her...

First date. She’s a lucky woman

Wild West in Houston in October of 1996. She and her friend were in our spot my friends and I always stood in. Started chatting with her and the next thing you know it is 28 years later. We will be married 28 years in March.

Apartment complex we lived in, drunk driver hit the wall in front of our building at 2 am. Started chatting and blossomed from there and now 36 years later!

In the summers I worked in a wet environment. Caught a nasty itchy rash on my butt. The college infirmary was free, so I went there. The cutest redhead ever was at the front desk. Took me a couple of months (her date book was full) to get a date. First kiss was in her carport, next to her Dad’s green Oldsmobile. In March it’ll be 57 years.

My roommate, Ray, knew I had my eye on two cute girls, both red hair. One had an ample chest and the other didn’t. After my first date, with the gal I married, Ray asked if it was the big chested one or the flat chested one, and I didn’t know because I was so focused on her that I hadn’t looked. That’s when I knew this was something big. And, just FYI, it was the flat chested one.

A wonderful wife and life.

High school band trip to Colorado Springs, 1985. Bus stopped for lunch. A buddy and I were running late for the Greyhound. Her class was having a car wash to raise money to go to NYC for the Statue of Liberty parade. We talked for a minute, I gave her her first kiss, she gave me her number. The rest is a loooong looooooong story.

Lol
I met my wife while working at the Minyards in Lancaster in 1976-

12 years ago this month we both worked at the same place. She flirted with me for almost 2 months. Wasn't sure if she was being a tease or lost a bad bet. Asked me to have a beer after work one day then she came over my house afterwards and never left.

small world Steve, 1976 when we met too, Hurst store #32, I did a couple years at that store, when it closed I moved to one of the Arlington stores first year or so of college

I bet we know some of the same people, I worked for Minyards 28 years-

I was in the grocery business from 1975 until 2006 and knew a lot of people who met their spouses there. I just got back from my deer lease and stopped by and visited with a friend of mine. Him and his wife both worked at the same Winn Dixie in San Angelo in the late 80`s when the married.

Blind date that 2 friends set up. That was 50 years ago and we are still happily married, at least I am🤪

We actually went to high school together but ran in different circles but we knew of each other. 14 years ago after my 2nd divorce, I went to a friends birthday party and she was there, but with another guy. We talked a little at the party. I heard a couple of weeks later that she broke up with that guy and hit her up on Facebook and got her number, The rest is history.

happy anniversary
