We met at work at our local hospital. I fell head over heels in love with him from the beginning. Took him a little longer. We met and started talking in February, went on our first date in March, the 20th to be exact, became engaged on May 7th, and got married on July 24th. I was 28, soon to be 29 and he was 34. We were married for 17 3/4 years. We had our struggles like everyone but we took our vows seriously and pushed through the struggles.
