Where did you meet your Valentine?

[Dietrich]

Seeing as it`s Valentines Day I thought it might be interesting to find out where you met yours.When I first met Helen,they had her wrestling mules at the state fair.I figured any woman who could bulldog a mule was someone I needed to talk to.Then things just kind of fell into place.How did you meet yours?

Where did you meet your Valentine?

My Honey Bunny and I went to the same church. I played softball for the church team and she kept score. We went to different colleges, but dated long distance for three years. We were married soon after I graduated...she still had a year to go.

34 years last December.

In the gym

Being fun-sized, but built like a brick (as some of you will remember from previous posts) I was out-lifting my considerably larger future sweetheart. Must have been impressive like Dietrich's mule-wrestling Helen. 19 years ago.

My wife and I actually went on our first date (lunch) 20 years ago today. We actually met at a Christmas party the year before. She got me to dance with her while my date that night was in the restroom.

The Mrs. and I worked together and got to be best friends. When she moved away we realized there was more to it. She soon moved back and has stuck around for nearly 20 years.

My daughter is my other Valentine as today is her birthday. When the adoption agency called to tell me they had found us a girl, the case worker told me her birthday was February 14. Typical male, I did not even think about it being Valentines day until my wife pointed it out!

We actually met, 11 years ago, while I was spending some time in Australia...go figure. One year later my honey was fortunate enough to be able to get a green card, the rest is history, as they say.

Talk about a long distance relationship!

I met my sweetheart the first day of school my sophomore year she was a freshman, we dated through out high School and then married after I return home from my Army basic and advanced training in 1972. We have been married 37 years last November and she is still my sweetheart and my best friend.

I met Bette when she was 14yrs old, I was 35, no just joking, we dated for several years and married in 1969, she was 17, I was 18. It will be 41 years on June 6th. She is still my best friend and sweetie pie. She can be a little mean at times, cajun blood, but she keeps me in line, kinda like it . She weighed 92 lbs and wore a double D, kinda feel in lust and then love. I guess that was too much information.

I met my sweetheart 14 years 11 months 10 days 6 hours 42 min 31 seconds ago sitting in English class my junior year. I knew she was the one for me. She is busy raising our three wonderful children who are 8, 4, and 2. I could have never asked for a better person to be a part of my life. I am thankful she also loves guns.

I can remember my sweetheart's face when I first saw her. She looked a bit like a deer in the headlights after flying in from the States and her sponsor brought her from the Frankfurt/Rhein-Main Airport straight to the Zweibrücken Command Post, where I was on duty. Within a few days, I wound up taking her and her sponsor out to let her taste some of the local cuisine. We had a little group that liked fine eating -- German and especially French. It wasn't dating, per se, but sometimes it was just my best buddy, his wife, and my wife-to-be, and I going out to eat. It was 14 months before I got around to asking for a real date, and I felt like a shy, love-sick teenager(at 38, and she was 28). I was shaking when I went to pick her up for that first date.
That made being in Europe a lot more fun having someone to share travel with. She had a two year tour and came back to the States in June '85 to work in the command post at McGuire AFB -- home of Air Force One and all. I visited her in August and proposed, and thankfully, she accepted.
When I got back to Germany I saved up some money and went to Antwerp where I bought her diamond and had a ring hand made while I waited.
I returned from Germany the end of February '86 and after a few days we drove out to Colorado and got married -- 24 years next month.
She's a great lady and I'm so lucky to have her... especially since she went back to work , finally using her degrees in Psychology and Sociology, and I do everything else, I've always been the cook and I've learned to cook all of the gourmet meals we used to get at good restaurants. We still go out a few times a month but since she works evenings and has two-day breaks, I only have to cook real meals maybe twice a week. It works for us. We'll be out of debt again by the end of the month, except for the mortgage.
Yes, a perfect match -- she works, and I sit here shopping on the internet and chatting with you guys. I know that I'm extremely lucky, and I can't wait until the next Gun Show! She's okay with me getting another gun for my birthday. Sigh. I sure love her!

Sorry, I get carried away!
