When I was in the Air Force I was foolish and in 1 year I got engaged to 3 different men. None of those guys ever came back or would set a date. In May of 1983 I met Bob he was a student leader at the dorms on the Base. We were helping to pickup new arrivals to the base. I asked Bob if I could stand behind him, My friend at the time said oh no not another rope, (you see I had dated a lot of student leaders in that last 2 months.). He asked me out for that Friday, But, I already had a date tht weekend so, we agreed to go out the next Friday.
We went out to dinner and then on to more interesting things. The next day I had to catch a plane to another base for a medical board hearing about getting out of the service, so we only had the one night.
Bob tried tracking me down that whole weekend and finally found me on Monday. We talked on the phone on and off for the next 2 days. Tuesday night he asked "What would you say if I asked you to marry me?" "I said 'What would you say if I said yes?'"
I thought this would be just like all the others and never come back for me. But I said to myself if it's meant to be he will come back for me.
Well, he came back. And a week and a half after meeting we got Married in a civil ceremony, Just us and the justice of the peace. We have been married for 25 years and still very happy.
