swing for life

I met my husband in the first grade. Of course at the time I wanted to chase him down and beat him up! Yes, funny I know. He used to chase my girlfriend and pull her pigtails and make her cry, calling her names, he was a big bully to me then.

My husband and I met again in junior high, and then this boy was the class clown. Always funny to be around and I hardly remembered those times on the play ground when I had chased him all around the swing sets that first year.

Later I met up with him again after they had moved away. I think we must have been destined to be together. His family had moved over 200 miles away. One afternoon we just happen to run into each other in the town we bothgrew up in.

We began talking about those days in school and he asked me out on a date. We went dancing that first night. Down to the local country and western he drove me in his '69 Roadrunner. I remember he would hold me under the centerglittering ball on the dance floor and whisper to me every man in the joint is jealous of me tonight. Wow what a way to sweet talk a lady!

We starting dating exclusively shortly after that and dated for almost two years. He was the most gorgeous man I had ever seen. All muscles from playing football and working throwing feed sacs at the local feed store where they had moved to. He would drive that trek every weekend, just to hold me again under that glittering ball.

My Husband of today is still as gorgeous to me as he was in Junior high. Of course he holds me like no other ever did, and I loved to watch him Hold our babies. We have four of those and they have babies of their own now.

We often call each other has the other one thinks we will. He and I have a connection not many folks are lucky enough to find. He often tells me I am his gorgeous girl and I know I will be by his side forever.
