When I was first out of school I worked at a donut shop at night. DH used to work evenings and would come in every night for coffee with his friend. One night the friend showed up without him and told me DH was interested in me but too shy to ask me out. He did a little bit of match making and made it happen and we have been together ever since. That was in January 1979 - so, almost 31 years ago. We have been married for 26 years.

At the Franklin Institute Science Museum in Philadelphia!

In February of 2006, the FI re-opened their human heart exhibit and, to celebrate it's 51 years of existence, they kept the museum open for 51 consecutive hours. I had some friends who came up with the genius idea to see if they'd be able to stay awake the entire time. Joe had gone to meet up with my friend, Matt. We were awake from 6AM Friday morning and were kicked out of the museum at 1AM Sunday morning - because of a blizzard! Joe drove me home - 17 miles in the opposite direction of his home, in a blizzard, to a neighborhood he's never been to before, without having slept in over a day.

DH and I met at church.

The services there were televised. Dh volunteered with the television production. I was visiting the church on a Sunday morning. He working volunteering behind the scenes with the TV crew. During the service, one of the cameras panned the crowd and he noticed me. So he had the camera pan back and asked everyone working that Sunday if anyone knew me. No one did.

He found me after church and introduced himself. A group of people went to lunch that day after church, including DH and I. He stratically sat near me. We started daring not long after that.

We have been married now for 18 years.

It wasn't until we had been married for about 10 years, that DH told me the camera story. It actually slipped out from a friend of his who said, I remember the first time you saw her. So the cat was out of the bag. I thought it was actually very sweet.

I answered "Other".

DW and I met on AOL in June 1993... I answered her personal online, we exchanged emails, then chatted online, then phone and finally had a first date IRL (in real life) - all of that took about 2 weeks to transpire.

After the greatest first date in our lives (and probably in the history of the universe we both agreed that we wanted to get married. We were committed to each other from that moment on.

So our families didn't think we were TOO crazy, we didn't share that bit of news with anyone until about 6 weeks later. We were married in July 2004 - 53 weeks after that first date.

We're now 15 1/2 years into our marriage, 16 1/2 years into life together and we continue to be blessed each and every day.
