Our First Date

Twenty-seven years ago today, my dear hubby swept me off my feet...literally.  After our introduction by a mutual friend, and getting to know one another for several months through the college group at my church, my would-be suitor bravely made a phone call to my father.

"May I take your daughter out?", he eloquently asked my father.  "Yes," - to my delight - was my papa's answer.  Two days later I found myself, my date, and two other friends soaring high above our town's lush, green landscape in a Cessna Piper Cub!  It was my first time ever to be up in a small, twin engine plane and my white knuckles gripping the co-pilot's wheel bore testimony to the fact that I was "out of my comfort zone!"

The four of us did make it safely back to the ground, and then we headed to a favorite nearby pizza shop to satisfy our growling tummies.

And thus began a joyous, (and always adventurous)dating relationship.  My beau and I were married three years later!

I praise God alone for His faithfulness to us all these many years!! I love my dh more with each passing day.  To God be the glory!
