The first time I ever saw my husband in action, he was the youth minister at my sister’s church.  She was still in high school and I had come home for a quick visit.  I walked up to where the youth group was having their meeting and saw this guy with his head buried in a vat of red Jello.  In a few seconds, he threw his head up, slinging Jello everywhere (picture teenage girls running, screaming).  In his mouth, he clenched a raw weenie with a dollar pill toothpicked to it.

At that moment, I thought, “That’s my guy.”

Obviously we’re perfect for each other.

    While I’ll admit that my first encounter with my husband was not that spectacular (what a great story you have!!!), it was my man on a Christian college retreat that was lugging around the director’s five year old son on his shoulders – while simulataneously leading us in a “get-to-know-you” game. I was smitten and nearly eighteen years later, when I see him lugging around our own kids with the same youthful abandon, I know I am exceptionally blessed…

    Michele, what a sweet story! I love “meet” stories!

    Fortunately, I haven’t seen my husband bob for weenies in Jello since that occasion.:)
