Being silly with my Baby!

This is a special time of year for Jeremy and I. We met January 25th 1996, we were married December 27th and were Sealed for Time and all Eternity on December 23rd. There are many opportunities for us to think about our relationship and how it has grown. I often think back to that first conversation on the phone. I hoped it would be something special. We had made plans to go out the next night. I had a few extra minutes while getting ready for work and I knew that I would not have a lot of time after work to "primp", so I curled my hair and put on my cute clothes and made sure that I would pretty much be ready to go after work. While at work, my roommate Kerri and I , noticed this cute black guy walk in the door. I have always been attracted to African Americans and so this was a treat for me! Funny thing is when he walked in, I told my roommate "I'm going to have that mans babies". Damned if that didn't happen. LOL!

 He walked over past all of us and was looking at the magazines. I got a customer and she had a huge cart full of groceries (I worked at Allen's Grocery Store). Amazingly, this gorgeous man stepped into my line. Kerri told him that she could help him (without a wait) and he said it was ok. He had a pack of gum! I have never scanned or bagged groceries so fast. Her order was $254.36, I still remember! When I got her out of the way, he walked up. I noticed he had a Letterman's jacket on and the name was Jerry. I was kind of hoping he was my date, but knew at that moment he was not. I rang him up and as he was leaving I turned to get a peek....heheheheh....and then he quickly turned back to me...I was caught. I just looked at him and smiled. He then said the words that would put our whole life together in motion..."By the way, I'm Jeremy"! I about died.

 He picked me up that evening and we went to dinner, Burger King, I know big spender! Then he had a basketball game. It was so much fun to watch him and experience that side of him. The rest is history, but that is how we met.

All of this would not have been possible if not for a very dear friend. David, my best friend, met Jeremy and thought it would be a good idea for us to meet. I am forever grateful to you David for leading me to my Soul Mate. You have always had a special place in my heart.
