To Have and To Hold LOVE STORY Linky Party Guest Post #7--Nancy @ Nancy's Tidbits

Welcome to another

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD
"LOVE STORY"
LINKY PARTY
Guest Post


Today's Guest Post is from
 Nancy

Nancy has 2 new loves in her life...
...a, somewhat recent, precious new granddaughter!
And more recently she is busy with the wonderfully exciting,
 sometimes overwhelming I'm sure, task of
decorating a new home in central Iowa.

Understandably, she has chosen
to take a little blogger vaca from her Nancy's Tidbits Blog.

But, she has started a new blog called
The Durant House
where she will chronicle the
process of designing/decorating her new home!
Go here to see more.

 Additionally, you can view her Pinterest page  Here

Nancy has graciously agreed to share her
Love Story with us today. 
I think you'll find it has a bit of an
unusual twist.
I know you'll want to continue reading.

Thank you Nancy!!

It was New Year’s Eve, 1979

and I was visiting a college friend

at her rural eastern Iowa home.

Our plans for celebrating the new year

involved going to her then boyfriend’s home

(now her husband)

for a New Year’s Eve Party.

That in itself might not sound odd.

However, his home was an apartment

on the second story of the

funeral home where he worked.

When my girlfriend and I arrived at the party,

there were a lot of people there

(just counting the live bodies that is).

 Many of us sat down at a table to play a game.

Seated near me was this young man named Larry

who caught my eye because of how nicely he was dressed.

 Long story short,

we ended up hanging out the rest of the evening

and as they say, it was 

“Love at First Sight”.

Here we were back in 1981

Years later, my beloved Larry wrote

 a little poem about how we met.

 It goes like this:

_{Roses are red}

_{Violets are blue}

_{I met you at the funeral home}

_{and I’ll say good-bye there, too.}

Our wedding, August 22, 1981
