This photograph has been hanging on the wall in our hallway for probably my entire life. It's of my parents' 4th grade classroom, not sure what year it was, but I know it was in the early '60s. Mom and Dad didn't exactly know each other, they were just in the same class. Dad was quite a hellraiser as a kid...building underground forts, making Molotov cocktails out of big glass milk jugs, setting fire to fields, and basically just...destroying stuff. My grandmother always warned Mom to stay away from "those boys". Mom and Dad later met at a Bible study in their late teens and started dating each other. Mom came home one day and said to Grandma, "You remember those boys that you told me to stay away from who used to set fields on fire? Well... I'm dating one of them." She also said, "That's the man I'm going to marry." Well she was right; they married two years later in 1974, both at the age of 21, and were married for 28, perfect, years.  |

Well, 99% perfect. In my whole life I only remember them fighting once, and they made up within half an hour.

Aren't they adorable! I wanna try to find some more old pictures of them sometime, gotta dig through this large, intimidating looking box in the hall closet though....eh.
Hey yeah! I think it's the mustache! So he was a troublemaker too huh? LOL Dad and his friends would set fire to fields just to see if they could put it out - if they couldn't, they'd... run and let the fire department handle it. Heh! They also almost detsroyed a house that was under constuction whilst "playing army", but that's another story...
