blind date , married in 6 months ... yes it really was love at first sight for both of us ... 34 years this july ... guess I have always been a little different ... in the begining it was covered up by religion ... can get away with a lot if your "spirit filled" ... we had moved to a distant city for my school so we really only had each other ... after enough years you just accept whatever comes .. that has been true for both of us ... we get thru things together ... whatever they are ... I guess I have had a story book marriage ... but to be fair we are both very "old school" , till death do us part ... sickness and health and all that sappy stuff ....
