Deb
Ohhh, so you are the older woman.



Age doesn't bother me, but for some reason I always told myself that the person I married, must be older then me.

Could I ask for some pixie dust for Saturday please? I am having 20+ people over for that cookout and the weather forecast is rather bleak.....thunderstorms. I don't mind cooking in the rain, but I don't know where I'll put all these people if they can't be outside on the deck!

 

[Glynis]

Morning, all. Headed out for last minute errands and then finishing packing.

Janet, that is so sad about that young Dad. Prayers said!

Elin, I hope you find the key, but at least you had the thing to make a copy.

Hope everyone else is well. I'll try to pop back on later!

Have a spectacular trip, Denise!!! I can't wait to read the TR!

Elizabeth, glad you didn't listen to mom.

I hope the rain holds off until after your guests go home!!

Well I am going to be reall nosey, and even if we did this before just humor me, ok?


How did you meet your spouse/so?

We met in college. I was a sophomore transfer student, and he was a freshman. My roommate was friends with his roommate, so we just started going for meals together, etc. Eventually we realized that we didn't particularly care for our roommates, but we enjoyed being together. I actually graduated 2 years before he did, because he was in a co-op program (5 yrs), and I was in a regular BS program (4 yrs). I found a job in the same area that he was still in for college for those 2 years. We married exactly one week after his graduation, and we'll celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary at the end of May and 25 years of being together in December.

Tammi, for good weather. John is determined to do the roof even if we get the showers they are calling for.

John was working for my cousin's husband and stopped one night at their house to ask a question, I was there because every Wed. we used to go there for dinner.
Well I was serving coffee and when I went to give him his I spilled it in his lap. After we left, said cousin gave him my number and he called that Friday.

I met Alan at school. We were both attending the same university. He was a freshman and I was a sophomore. We were both working in the theater departments spook alley. Later, we ended up at a party together, and I took him back to his dorm. We sat outside his dorm talking in my VW bug for about 3 hours. Campus police even knocked on our window since we'd been sitting there for such a long time. We just hit it off right away. We were inseparable after that!

Elizabeth, glad you didn't listen to mom.

Yep.
But he was not the type I had in mind for myself, so maybe that's why she said it! He was a redhead, had a mustache, drove a big, ugly truck. I liked blond boys, clean shaven, who drove nice cars. Funny how things work out.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Happy Anniversary.

celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary at the end of May and 25 years of being together in December.

I was a senior in high school and me and a bunch of friends used to go to a weekly dance at a teen center the next town over. Chris also went to the dances. I met him several times between September and March. I was working at a movie theater at the time and my best friend wanted to go out with a coworkers son, but she wouldn't go alone so I needed a "date". Mind you I had never had been out on an official date with anyone. I decided to call Chris and ask him out. That was no easy task as no one knew his phone number since his family did not have a phone until just days before (think dirt poor). Anyhow I did get hold of him and he accepted my date. We went to the movies to see Lethal Weapon. We've pretty much been inseperatable since. In fact our second date was the next day.

Chris was a sophmore in high school when we met. I went off to college, but came home on weekends and he finished high school then he went off to a 2 year college and we both came home on weekends. We both graduated from college in 1991 and were married in 1992.

Chris proposed to me on Christmas Eve 1988 and he was just a High School Junior. Can I just say that my parents were not impressed and were totally in denial. His friends thought that he was crazy. We were engaged for nearly 5 years before we got married, but it goes to show that you just know when you've found "the one". Now that I see my boys growing up I can't imagine Nick being engaged in 4 years So now I see my parent's point, but back then I knew that they were trying to ruin my life Oh and my parents LOVE Chris now.

Eeek! My son is a high school junior! But I think I would be ok with it if they waited until they were out of college to marry. I figure if they could make it through those years and still know that they found "the one", it would work out.

You got it! We are supposed to have great weather here. I'll see if I can arrange for it to be transferred to you for Saturday!

 

[bethbuchall]

I don't like doing things when somebody tells me to do it because I hate being "bossed" around. It's not that I have to do it just because the person has told me to do it and often I knew the person was telling me to do it because it was important. It is a personality flaw and I have been working on it...but sometimes it rears it's ugly head (believe me, I used to be worse!!)

I have the same flaw.

Beth - when in May is your anniversary? Alan and I were married on May 26. It will be 18 years for us next month.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Must say, didn't think you were the type to have the police come knocking.

I met Alan at school. We were both attending the same university. He was a freshman and I was a sophomore. We were both working in the theater departments spook alley.

Jim and I met my first weekend I was at college (he insists he saw/met me earlier in the week). My roommate and I were both new to campus but she had a friend that had transferred to Rocky. That friend had already gotten to know a group of friends so we horned in on their time.

The next weekend Mel and I hosted a picnic at the adjoining park. Jim arrived late and missed me getting hit in the nose with a raquetball but he didn't miss: jostling me so hard that I fell off the teeter totter, seeing me do a face plant off the slide and being tripped and falling. Oh, and someone telling a joke just as I took a drink of grape pop that promptly flew out my nose. He is the only one who saw all of this and not once did he laugh at me.

I'm an older woman, too. We're coming to the time of year that dh likes, because between my birthday in May and his in August, he can claim to be 2 years younger than me.

I'm going to beg some spare pixie dust if you've got it. I was told by my doctor that I'm not producing enough progesterone, so they've put me on a pill for that. I have to go to the doctor for an ultrasound tomorrow afternoon to make sure that all is well. Please send me good thoughts for a safe baby, and an ultrasound that shows that all is going well!

Thanks!

This part sound vaguely familiar!
