How did you meet your spouse?

We met in high school, senior year.   I was sitting in the bleachers with my BFF on my left and her friend was on her left.  We were waiting for a pep rally for the football game that night.  He opened the gym door, walked in, looked around the bleachers, smiled and started making his way over to us.   I was stupidly excited and told my BFF there is a gorgeous guy coming our way and I hoped he was going to sit by me.   She asked me to point him out, but I couldn’t - it would be too obvious since he was almost to us.   He got to the bleacher seat in front of us, leaned over, and kissed the other girl.   DAMN.  Denied.  He was dating my best friend’s friend.  It took seven years before we got this dating game right.

My dating life took a massive 180* turn one fine day in late May 1993 on Mother’s Day.  Mom and I were driving home from town when I saw him on the side of the road, buying flowers for his mother.  I asked Mom to stop and got out of the car to say hello.  He was happy to see me and I gave him my number.   I decided to wait and see if he called.   Over a week went by before I gave up, thinking he wasn’t interested.  It turns out he was interested, but he and his dad had gone to Idaho to help his sister install a tile floor.
