I met my husband over 10 years ago. He was playing softball on my Dad's team. After a while, we both decided that we should try going out on a date.
I have to honestly say that it was one of the worst dates I had ever had.

The was one interesting thing that happened, we stopped to visit his sister before we went on the rest of our date. As we were driving he told me she lived in Roanoke. I told him I used to live in Roanoke at one time.

Then he pulled onto her street -- Church Street. Now that had caught my attention because I also used to live on Church Street in Roanoke.

We pulled up out front of his sisters house and I was amazed....we pulled up in front of the house I used to live in! I couldn't believe the coinidence

At one point he was even living with his sister. He was actually sleeping in the same room I had slept in when I lived there. Talk about fate!!!

That was the only bright spot of the evening. Other than that, the date was a big flop. We decided (or should I say I decided) not to have a 2nd date. We did still see each at the games when he was played softball for my dad.

Then after a while and got to know each other better and became friends, we decided to give it another try. We have been together ever since.

We were married one year from the time we started dating (the second time) and have been married now for over nine years and still going strong!!
