A Day To Remember

My wife Scherie and I met at church.
I saw her there and at McDonalds afterwards with 6 kids around her.
I had two.
And a small house.
Probably wouldn't work.
I had given the women in our singles Bible Study Class my phone number after hearing stories of them paying $40 for a hose clamp install and the like.
Scherie called one day.
Her car wouldn't start.
It was raining and I brought WD-40 to dry her spark plug wires.
(That's what it was invented for.)
She had coffee on and invited me inside her apartment.
I found out that the kids were her (now my) nieces and nephews.
We started dating, and married a month later.
Yesterday was 26 years.
I'm happier now than I was then.

  3. Sometimes, the largest blessings in life are good marriages. I think you have one, and it's good to see such things happen.

  5. Beautiful story. Hubby and I are ahead of you by ten years. You had WD-40 and we had duct tape. Hey, whatever works ;)

  6. AWESOME! Congrats you two kiddies. I see you failed to mention whether or not you got the car started. Then again, you did get a cup of coffee. Happy Anniversary :)

    1. Thank you.
      We went to see our pastor who had dated his wife for over two years and he gave us a hard time about marrying so soon.
      I pointed out that we were not novices at getting married :)
      During the "discussion" I asked if he had a box of kleenex.
      He went out into the receptionist office, came back and threw it at me.
      I knew I had him then. :)
