This is the story of a shy, young girl. She worked eight hour days, five days a week. Went to college part-time three days a week and some Saturdays. She took time out for her hobby but this was the life of someone almost 21 years old. Sounds a little boring but she had just ventured out on her own and moved away from home into an apartment with a friend. Five months into this new and exciting life her office was moving to a new facility and she was asked to work extra days to help the move go smoothly over a weekend in November.
The moving company did a walk-through on Friday and she was introduced to a foreman who would be handling the move. Blonde hair, blue eyes with that little hint of devil in him and of course well-built in her eyes. This guy worked a fast pace. Directing the guys what to get and where to put it. Little did the young girl realize her life would be changed forever.
No this isn't a fairy tale, wait no maybe it is. But this is the beginning of my love story almost 29 years ago. David and I worked side by side that weekend and we haven't left each other's side since. It is hard to believe that tomorrow we will be married 27 years. Two children, 1 1/2 grandchildren later. Our lives have been filled with happy and sad stories, peaks and valleys, laughter and tears, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
Although we don't get to spend our day together like I had wanted we did get to go out earlier in the week and have our date night. Sometimes we are like two ships that are passing in the night but, 29 years ago our ships bumped into each other head-on like the Titanic to the iceberg and I thank God for him everyday.
You really can't look for love, it hits you when you least expect it. The picture is on our honeymoon in my most favorite place Hawaii. I think one of the reasons it holds a special place in my heart. We were young, pounds lighter and not a care in the world and had no idea what was ahead of us. Little did we think that we would continue with the story this many years later.
Happy 27th Anniversary, may we have 27 more together.

Happy Anniversary, Cindy! Thanks for sharing the story. As soon as you said this guy came in to help move everything, I knew who it was! Very cool.
