Stop rolling your eyes at me! This could be fun.......
DH and I were both playing volleyball in an intermural league at work. I had just broken up with a long term boyfriend, and was very much "playing the field". Our teams played against each other, and DH started looking for me so he could ask me out. He finally asked my coach, since he couldn't find me. So my coach comes over and basically sets up a blind date. I felt like I was back in high school! Anyway, the Indianapolis Zoo had just opened in a new location, so we went there on a Sunday afternoon. When DH picked me up, I had roses from another guy on my kitchen table, and one of the first things I said to him was "If you want to get serious, find someone else, because I'm playing the field!" Our first date was in late June. By the end of July, I'd stopped seeing anyone else, and we were engaged in September. 16 years later, we're still together.
I was 17 years old, he was 22. My GF and I watched he and his buddy ride, then somehow 
wound up in line in front of them on the Small World Ride. Now, both DH and I were painfully shy (not a problem for either of us now), but my GF and his buddy were very outgoing folks and a conversation began. We wound up spending the rest of the evening together and of course exchanged phone numbers and addresses. His was Fort Ord, but he came south every weekend as his parents lived in Anaheim at the time. He took me out a couple of times, then proposed. We were married 3 weeks and 6 days after our first meeting. Wedding was on a Friday evening, he left for VietNam (second tour) on Sunday afternoon. We have been married 37 years and like some others love each other more than ever. Most people at the time said "it will never last" due to our age, not knowing each other and immediate separation by the military. But the pixie dust was obviously sprinkled around us and protected us thru a war, 12 years of college, 3 kids, 
. We have, of course, been Disney freaks from day one. 
However, it worked out great and we are a good team and very much still in love. It is the "magic", we are sure.
Arrrrgh!)
Aw, shucks......
Hi everyone!
