Ok, I have to tell you another "How we (they) met" story...
maybe even two....
The first one is my parents story. Back in 1935 my mother at 16 was living with her oldest sister and oldest brother - they had moved off the farm and into town and had their own apartment. My mother moved in with them and was going to high school - she walked to school every day.
My dad was 19 and he'd see this girl walking to school everyday and thought she was really pretty but he was really shy and plus he had just got out of high school and was working.(and this was depression era times) In the meantime a friend of his was dating a girl, talking about her at work etc. Showed my dad a picture of the girl and my dad asked if she had a sister.... so a blind date was set up with my dad and the sister - turns out the sister was the girl he watched walking to school! - they finally got married in 1941...

The second story is my son and daughter-in-law.... they went to BBC in MO and my daughter-in-law really, really (LOL) liked my son - followed him around, went to his basketball and baseball pickup games, hung around wherever he was - he being him didn't even notice...they'd been introduced but he was oblivious... one day he came out of the cafeteria with an ice cream cone and she just out of the blue asked him if she could have a bite - he thinks that's kinda a weird but says ok.. she bit the bottom off! Finally got his attention... they've been married going on 19 years...
