Mike and I met in the spring of '83.
He was dating my sister and I was newly divorced and dating someone else. I babysat for my sis periodically and this one time, Mike came to pick up my nephew.
He was in his Navy League Officer uniform and I'm sure I looked real stupid when I opened the door because I know my mouth was open in awe that my sister was so lucky! Of course, I had no personal interest at that time, because #1-I was dating someone and #2-He was my sister's!
Well, we did become friends, given the opportunity by my friend and my sister; my friend let me use his truck to practice driving and since I had my learner's permit and needed a person with a valid driver's licence with me, sis graciously suggested that Mike come along with me (very brave)! Mike and I enjoyed each other's company as friends.
Events led to a move to Alberta for me, and a subsequent marriage (which didn't last long), and Mike and my sister went their separate ways. Then in '87, while out on the town with another sister, I ran into Mike in a local disco. That was Feb 21, 1987. I contrived to see Mike again the following weekend and we've been together ever since!
This man truly is my other half. I still miss him when he goes to work and I know I'll enjoy his company when he retires!
This wedding page is my dedication to my love for my 'DOugH-God'.
