It was my Junior year in high school-1990, I had just been dumped and Daryle had himself a girlfriend. I knew he was interested in me because I had everyone telling me so, but, he had a girlfriend!!! FINALLY, he dumped her and asked me out. I was really not interested, at that point in getting into another relationship. He asked me to the Junior Prom and I said Yes!! He must of asked me about 5 times before the Prom to be his Girlfriend and I kept saying NO! After 2 months of dating, I commited to being his girlfriend! I had plans on dumping him after the prom-he drove me crazy! He was too nice to me, he always wanted to be with me, hold my hand and buy me flowers....I was not used to this!! Prom came and went so, I thought I will dump him at the end of the school year~then I won't have to see him all summer before our Senior year-well, we went to Utah for 2 weeks in the summer and I missed him-I really missed him......I knew I didn't want to break-up with him anymore after that! I only told him this story probably less than a year ago. He took it pretty well! :o) We dated for 3 years before getting engaged in April of 1993.....We were married, June 4, 1994 in Oakland, California. This June will be our 13 year wedding anniversary and we have been together now for 17 years. We did break up one time for about 5 days right before we got engaged. I wasn't sure what I wanted and I don't know if he really knew either...... Even though we were young, it was one of those things where we needed to take the next step....Marry me or let's move on~ apart..... We have 3 great kids together and I think we love each other more than we ever knew we could. I think about everything we have done in our almost 13 years of marriage and it just amazes me~still! Even though he drives me crazy-I love him with all my heart!
P.S. I had to take pictures of my pictures since my husband hasn't hooked my scanner up for me yet! They turned out pretty good considering but, that is why the quality isn't great!
