Once Upon a time there was this guy, in college, enjoying what he was doing, and chasing a girl.

During this chase he had a team of friends who studied together and had many of the same classes.

This guy hung out with these ladies three. Together they told each other of their dating woes and grips and of their perspective boyfriends/girlfriend and how messed up they each were.-As you can tell, in college study sessions not always do you study just the books!

So, to skip ahead, this guy kept watching this girl (in his study group) out of the coner of his eye, as they studied and talked and hung out. She kept saying how plain she was and how boys ignored her. All he could think of was how NUTS that was and how  gorgeous she was! Yes, physically, but also in her eyes...in her heart and soul. She was/is the complete deal. Loves God, loves kids, has traditional family values, the works.  But, They were friends....he didn't want to gum that up....what to do......

One day he took the leep!  Asked her out, although she wouldn't know that it was a date (she claims) until he showed up at her door wearing his "college" best....slacks, sweater, clean shaven and sucking in his gut but what's a guy to do!

Then, after they dropped off a Card at her "boyfriends" house, they went to a movie....a great cartoon, but fun!  Then, out for a swim.

Skip ahead a few years, and now he has that lovely lady as his wife, and two amazing girls to boot! (That's what you get folks.....)

So, still no "happy ending" as this story is still being written.  Happy Start, Happy duringly....and the "Ever after" will be with the Lord, so that's set. 

For now, we keep the fairy tale alive.   There are thorn bushes and shrubbery to collect for all the Knights who say "ni" but that's life, and so it goes on......Happily .......Slaying dragons along the way, perhaps taming a few to fly on and then upwards and onwards.

the Adventure continues!!!!.....

Thank you Lord, for my amazing ladies....Miszreadhead, Tazzypirate, and Nuttyhousemouse!

Wait until I start telling THIER stories.......hehe......
