:inlove:Wabbitmom12 (Karen) and I will celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary June 1st! We met while both working during college at a department store called Montgomery Wards. I thought for sure someone as cute as she was,had to have a boyfriend. Fortunately for me she did not, we dated a couple of times prior to finals. Beginning of the next semester we saw each other weekly,then began studying together andthen quickly became an item.Six months later I popped the question,never thought about it, hadn't planned it the words just came out one evening. She didn't give me an answer immediately, didn't think to much about it. I just enjoyed being with her.
One day as we pulled into her parents driveway, she said "I think we'll name our son Jeff and our daughter Kristin." I looked at her and asked, so I guess this means yes? She said yes it does. A little over a yearlater, in about 3 weeks time, I had graduated from college, became a Lieutenant in the US Air Force, married and moving to my first duty station in Colorado. Karen has endured all the moves we had to make in Air Force, not complaining once. It was quite a shock to her also, to be married and then within a week having to move 1200 miles away, leaving a very close family and setting up an apartment in a strange city not knowing anyone, while I was at the base all day.
That in a nutshell is how our life started out together.
We have 3 great children, Jeff, 21 and in the USAF, Josh 17 and will be a senior in high school this fall,Kristin, 14 and a freshmen in high school this fall.
Its been an interesting 25 years and the last 5 havebeen, well for the lack of a better word, wacky, to say the least.
Iam married to a very special woman,she hasto be to have put up with me so long!
I couldn't imagine life without her.
