That said, most of the people that join and participate in the challenges I've grown to trust, so here goes.
I married soon after graduating from high school, and it was a huge mistake. Tried a second time with the same result. So 15 years have gone by, I decided to just give up. That didn't work out either; a year later I was engaged again, but this time I slowed it down a bit, only to receive a phone call that my fiancé was moving out...That one really hurt for many reasons especially because she was injured in a work related accident and broke both of the bones in her lower leg right above the ankle. I literally did everything for her, including carrying her up and down the stairs at the house I had purchased for us since we were planning on getting married. I insisted on putting her name on the mortgage even though I paid all the bills. She was out of work for 8 months, which was fine with me, as long as she got healthy and we'd be together. Long story short, I had to "buy" her out even though she had no financial interest whatsoever. The next four years I dated casually, and I dated often. My realtor gave me a call one night and told me she knew the perfect woman for me and arranged a meeting. When I first saw Sally, I knew I had finally found the right person. Four months later, we were married on August 21, 1987...we'll celebrate our 34th anniversary this year, and we are closer today than we've ever been...Glory to God!
