My musings, my rambles and I welcome you. |
The most surprised I've ever been is when I found myself in love. I met my hubby at a Bible study and we were friends. We went out on a few double dates with other couples, but there were no real sparks for me. We weren't even traveling the same spiritual path. So he tells me there is this formal party he has to go to, but really doesn't want to go alone. I thought I was working so I told him to have a good time. (nice friend huh). Anyway, being the space cadet that I am, I completely misunderstood the date. Later, when he mentioned it again, I said, “Oh yeah, I’m off that night. I’ll with you, if you don't want to go alone.” At the time I was living in Hawaii, so a formal party could mean anything from tux and tails to keeping your shoes on during the party. When he talked about his dress blues and shining his shoes, I knew this is a real party. I started grumbling about the things you do for friends. I knew it was a REAL DATE when he showed up with a rented convertible Mustang instead of his island beater! After this boring formal party, he took me home. The goodnight kiss he gave me lit my toes and told me there were definite Sparks. The good/bad thing about being a space cadet is that life has to slap you in the face to get your attention. Life is always full of surprises. And Love if you pay attention. Anyway, we've been married 17years this year and he still can surprise this space cadet with sparks! Lani |
