| Jennifer, on meeting Jamie: Before Jamie and I got laid-off from work and finished college, I first noticed him after an union meeting in the parking lot. It was a hot summer day and before getting into his car, he took off his shirt - wow, what a bod! But I thought he looked a little young. We were working at different factory locations too at the time; however, six months later I was still wondering about him. I eventually got bumped over to the same factory, same shift, and same area that Jamie worked. I found out what his name was and I thought it was the sexist name I have ever heard. Hmm, "Jennifer Dutcher" has a ring to it I thought! I knew I was going to marry him, so I was hoping he was nice! (Hee hee) Although we didn't really talk to each other, I loved his laugh and thought he was FINE. I was really apprehensive about pursuing Jamie though because of our four-year age difference. (He loves reminding me that when I was a senior in high school, he was a 7th grader. Uew!) Then one day the guys in the back room where Jamie worked started singing the song "8675309...Jenny I have your number..." They were teasing him because they knew he liked me, but I was clueless. I finally gave him a note asking him for a date. The phone number I wrote down was "867-5309." I also wrote just kidding and gave him my real number. The next day Jamie used it and we've been together ever since! |

| Jamie, on meeting Jennifer: My friend Dave came to pick me up for lunch one day at work. Jen was pretty new and I hadn't seen her yet. Dave asked who the hottie was. I told him there weren't any hot chics at work. He said yah there was and she drives that car. Jen and I remember the first time we saw each other. Our eyes locked in a stare and neither one of us could look away. That has never happened to me before. Jen said it was like time stood still. I thought she was cute, but one girl told me that Jen wouldn't go out with me because Jen thought I was too young. But, she must have gotten over it because she ended up asking me out. It didn't take me long to know that I really wanted to marry her, even though she burns breadsticks. |
