I saw my husband in May when I went to Tampa to look for a job. He was home on leave from the Coast Guard. I did not know him, but I told my mother that he "was the one." We had our first date Dec. 23, 1978 and he asked me to marry him Jan 1, 1979. We will be celebrating 31 years together in June. We have been blessed with mostly good years and have 2 children-Justin, 27y and Karen, 23y. We have an almost 1 yr old grandson, Ryder, with another on the way. He is my best friend and I have cherished every year together. He also supports my quilting habit by never questioning my fabric, pattern, or machine purchases. He is a great guy. Love him.
