Waaaay back in the fall of 1975 I was entering 8th grade. \u00a0It was the very first day of 8th grade and I was sitting in homeroom. \u00a0Our homeroom teacher was doing the “first day of the school year” rigmarole.<\/p>\n

The next thing I knew, I was trudging down the school hallway to the Principal’s office. \u00a0I wasn’t by myself, I was walking with this guy. \u00a0We were in the same homeroom and were heading down the hallway for the exact same reason.<\/p>\n

NO. \u00a0I wasn’t in trouble. \u00a0Neither was he.<\/p>\n

The school office had messed up and had not put our milk passes in the homeroom packet. \u00a0We had been sent to go get our passes.<\/p>\n

That is how I met MFH (My Favorite Husband).<\/p>\n

We have been together pretty much ever since, too!<\/p>\n

Sure, we have dated other people but for some reason, we have always gravitated back to each other. \u00a0I guess that’s what true friends do. \u00a0Stick together.<\/p>\n

30 years ago today, MFH asked me to marry him.<\/p>\n

It’s pretty funny, really. \u00a0We had been through a pretty major break up. \u00a0I had seen him in church the day after Christmas. \u00a0While we were singing a song, I left my pew and walked across the church and went over to him. \u00a0During the singing I said, “We need to talk.”<\/p>\n

After the service, we went to McD’s and I ate crow (It was my fault after all. \u00a0Really!!!).<\/p>\n

We went out the next day. \u00a0And the next day. \u00a0The day after that. \u00a0The following day, we were sitting on the ugliest orange floral sofa, watching Maverick reruns. \u00a0During the commercial, he looked at me and said, “Well, I suppose we should get married.” \u00a0I replied, “Yup. \u00a0You’re right.”<\/p>\n

And that was that.<\/p>\n

We were engaged.<\/p>\n

We were married 5 months later. \u00a0May 24, 1985.<\/p>\n

MFH is the best of the best!<\/p>\n

To the office person who messed up our milk passes~~~Thank you!!!<\/p>\n
