So, I was home from college one summer and was out with my boyfriend. My ride or die girlfriend pulls up and wants us to ride with her while she chases this guy that just got out of the Army. So we got in her car and she took off making the rounds of all the normal cruising spots.......drive-ins for you older folks.

We got a coke down at one of the more popular spots, when the guy she was chasing pulls in in a yellow Thunderbird. I drove a Mustang and couldn't help but poke fun at this fairy car. lol He comes over walking the "military walk" and asks who I was. I was sitting in my boyfriend's lap and he's making a move on me! Cocky, arrogant, etc etc

I was with him a couple days later at another friend's party and we started talking. He asked me out that weekend, that was July 31st 1971. We saw each other every single day after that. That was the year of "Love Story", a tear jerker of a movie about a young couple in love. My birthday is Aug 13th, so he took me to see that movie for my birthday. I was a little teary when the lights came up in the theatre, and there he was on one knee with an engagment ring.

So, we were engaged 2 weeks after we met and married in January 1972. As cheezy as it sounds, we are still in love with each other today, 46 years later.

So, don't ask me if I believe in love at first sight! I lived it.

That is a great story, Granny Bear.
