Today's challenge from Shandy is to tell you about our first date with our DH. I must first give you some back ground first.
I was 16 when I met Corey and my parents did not want me to see him due to the fact that there is 6 years difference in age. So we really did not date much but hung out talking and getting to know each other, until I was caught with him at Sheri's Restaurant at 1:30am by my dad. I had went to the races with Corey then after words we went to Sheri's for a late night meal as we where leaving my dad came over to me and told me to get myself home and we would talk about this later. My dad stayed a moment and spoke to Corey as I left to drive home. As I was driving home all I could think about is what is going to happen to me and what they where talking about. Once I finally made it home my dad pulled in and we talked about Corey. My dad wanted to have a family meeting with me, Corey and my mom. So after this family meeting and my dad felt better about Corey (I think anyways) we where finally able to date but we really never have a true date in the sense until we went to Homecoming that fall. He took me to Red Lobster for dinner then to the dance. It was weird for Corey to go to a school dance when he never went to them when he was in school and now he is 22 years old and going with a 17 year old to a High School dance.
I know my parents had my best interest at heart but I truly loved Corey then and I still do to this day. I can honestly say he is truly my soul mate. I am so lucky and so thankful to have a man that loves me for me with all my faults and all my problems. We will be celebrating our 14th wedding anniversary this September. Thanks Corey for being my ROCK in life.
