I was the partying fool running around getting into fights, drinking and just getting by in school. We got to be friends but that was it, she wouldn’t date me no matter how hard I tried.

Fast forward 6 years to a time when we both happened to be in our little hometown one fateful weekend, I had been living in Dallas and she was in Saint Louis. We ran into each other at the Sonic getting a Coke while cruising the old hometown (pop. 3,795), by then I had cleaned up my act enough that she said come visit some weekend and she would show me STL.

I was there knocking on her door the next day. That was about 25 years ago, we have been married 23 years this past June 15th, it took me a while to convince her I was the one but I eventually won her heart. Marrying my wife was the best move I ever made. I think she feels the same about me most of the time. I will say we have been blessed in many ways and have done and seen things that we could only dream about as kids in small town U.S.A
