May 19, 1989. That is the day I married my husband. This May we will be celebrating 24 years of marriage! How did I meet my hubby? He was dating my roommate! I had a mad crush on some other guy at the time. Roger and I became great friends and spent a lot of time together until he left to serve a 2 year mission for our church in St. Louis Missouri. Two years later he came home from his mission, my roommate was out of the picture, and there I was.
We had a whirlwind romance, dated for 9 days, (yes 9 days!), got engaged, and married 6 weeks later in the Los Angeles LDS Temple. Our first daughter Kaitlynn was born 10 months later. I’ve informed each of my children if they ever do the same thing I will KILL them! Yes, it was acceptable for us but NOT for them! Hypocritical? Yes! And I’m OK with that!
Valentine’s Day is coming up fast! So here is a free 5 x 7 printable in 6 color schemes for you to enjoy.
I always love hearing how people met their sweetheart. Leave us a comment and tell us your story!
The printable in this frame is the red on white printable below even though it looks a little brown in the frame.

These are so darn cute Tracy! I love how you did yours in the beautiful frame. Gives it a beautiful flare. We, too, had a whirlwind romance. I met my husband through his 3 kids by the pool side. The two little girls came and sat on my chair and asked if I knew how to braid hair. Then they ran over to their dad and informed him they found him a girlfriend. LOL. We began dating shortly after that and three weeks later we were engaged, and two months after that we were married. And here we are 23 years later! Congrats to your long marriage!
Jeni,
So, knowing how to braid hair caught you your man! I just love to hear a good love story.
Thanks so much for sharing. Have a great Valentine’s Day!
