Where did you fall in love?

Chicago; many moons ago.

10th grade Advanced English with Mrs Berve.

I could hardly talk to him except to say 'you have brown eyes!'
I was putty in his hands. And I miss him every day.

"I found love in a KMart store......""

Aisle 6, to be exact. It was 9:17 pm on a damp and rainy Tuesday night in September. They were having a blue light special on pistachio nuts. I don't even like pistachio nuts -- but hey, they were the blue light special, it must be a good deal, right??

We both reached for the last bag of pistachios -- our fingers lightly touched.... we gazed into each other's eyes.... and well.... it's been 23 years of wedded bliss.






Okay, I made that all up. Except for the part where I said I don't like pistachios. And our 23rd wedding anniversary is next month. But I can't remember the exact moment we fell in love.

LOL, Pam!

I love reading the stories.

Oh Pam you dork!!

And I am not talking about my dh in my post. I don't remember falling in love with him, but I remember my first love.

C'mon Laurie.......I'm sure you fell in love once!! Where did that magical moment take place?

LOL Pam

I figured it wasn't your DH - I thought it was Mrs. Berve.
It's not????

I cna't remember my first I do know that it wasn't Mrs. Berve. I have never met Mrs. Berve. But English was always my favorite subject in school. Well -- that and History.

OK, I didn't make this up.

I was 20 years old, about a week from my 21st birthday. I was convinced I would never find "someone" and had been discussing it at length with Scott, my best girlfriend. The smartest thing he ever said was, "When you stop looking, you will find him."

Well, I stopped looking.

Not even a week thereafter I reported to work one afternoon for the closing shift.

There he stood, in all his glory.

My knees went weak, my heart started pounding and I knew he was THE ONE.

It might have been the uniform. You know, there is just something about a man in uniform, even if he is the store security guard.

I went up to him and said, "You know, every guard we've ever had before had been either black or gay, and you're not black..."

And he replied, "I'm not gay, either."

Fate smiled on me that day. I went home and told my mother, "I met my husband today." (And no, I didn't say that about every guy I met. )

But I was convinced it was not to be.

One afternoon he was leaving his shift, and my shift was cut. He suggested we go to the local taqueria. I agreed. Neither one of us could afford food, so we had soft drinks. He told me his life story and I was enthralled.

We decided to go back to his grandmother's house where he lived.

We watched "Alien Nation" and shared IBC Root Beer and string cheese.

I sat on one end of the couch. He sat on the other.

I thought, "Well, he's not interested."

As we parted, he knelt, took my hand, and kissed it.

That was the day before my 21st birthday. We have been together 16 years. I no longer work at Target. I supported him as he finished school. He supported me as I finished college. I am now a teacher, and he is a network analyst currently working in London for 18 days. We have two beautiful children and I am very blessed.

And sometimes, I go back to that Target store, now a trashy Dollar-Rama, stand in that special spot, and let my mind wander back to that special day, the day that I found love in a Target store.

Nope. Mrs Berve was having an affair with Mr ? across the hall. We all knew it and he would send her flowers. Anyway, they both left their spouses and got married to each other.

My first love and I...well it was amazing.

 

[Pam]

That was beautiful, Boston!

I was just a few months shy of my 21st birthday, too, when DH asked me out.

My husband and I fell in love in Chemistry class. The first time he asked me out he said, "when are we going out? Friday night or Saturday night?" I thought this guy is confident. I liked it. I told him it would have to be Saturday night since I have another date on Friday night! We dated 7 years and have been married for 18.

Lori, you can say then that you and your DH had the right chemistry!!

It wasn't an...I know it!...moment. It's just always been there! But it dates back to 8th grade. Still love the guy and always will!

I was in 8th grade and I would pass him in the hallways between classes. We dated for 9 years and have been married for 16. We have two wonderful kids and I am still head over heels for him.

My first love....gosh, I haven't thought of him for a while. I was in Phoenix, Arizona. I was 15. There had been a picnic party and a bunch of us kids were riding in the back of a truck. The truck had high sides on it and some of us were standing. That's right, no seat belts. How did we all manage to survive? At any rate, the driver of the truck hit the brakes and I fell but I wasn't hurt because I landed on a cushion. Sadly, I don't think Mother Nature ever intended for that particular part of a young man's body to serve as a cushion. When he could breathe again he asked me out. We dated until I moved back to Houston.

I fell in love with my last love in Houston, Texas. I don't remember exactly when or where I realized that I loved him, though. We will celebrate our 34th anniversary in December
