{Story Time} My Dad

A post that was made by Lacey yesterday reminded me of a story about my dad.




Back when my Dad was still alive, he loved helping people. If you needed to shirt off his back, he would give it to you. My Dad told this story often and I want to share it with you.


One day my Dad was at a fast food chain getting breakfast and he saw a homeless man.  This fast food chain asked the homeless man to leave.  There was hardly anyone inside the fast food chain's dining area. It was a cold winter day and my dad asked the homeless man when was the last time he had eaten. The homeless man couldn't tell him, so my dad told this man to order whatever he wanted and that he would pay for it.  The look on the homeless mans face, on the fast food chain employees fast were of uttershock.  The homeless man just wanted a cup of coffee.  So my dad bought him a cup of coffee and also had them give him a biscuit.  My dad told the fast food chain employee that as long as he was in this establishment, that the homeless man should have his coffee refilled.

The homeless man thanked my dad. My dad also gave him a ten dollar bill and told him to buy himself some lunch.

What kind of Story do you have?

12 yrs ago on June 1, 2000


I went to the court house with my family and the hubby to get married.



12 yrs ago yesterday, I married my best friend. Even though the hubs and I hadn't known each other very long, we knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together.

Here is a little "snap-shot" of how fast it went. :)

Feb 26, 2000 - I was on AIM and a strange screen name popped up on my buddylist. Being curious, I IM'D and it was him. We chatted for a few hours and exchanged numbers. I ended up calling him after we had both logged off because I did not want to stop talking to him.

Feb 27, 2000- We chatted  more when he got off work and talked more on the phone.

Feb 28, 2000 - We talked on the phone and made plans to meet up the next day since he had the day off.

Feb 29, 2000- We met at the Mall.

We became a couple a few days later and then got married on June 1, 2000.


Some people did not think we would last a year, but here we are at 12 years. I love him more and more each day. He is just one of the most amazing men in the world.
