Paul and Staci:  How They Met
His Story: "Hey, Dale," I said, "wanna drive up to the Retreat together?"  It was February, 1999, and I was just getting involved in my church.  Todd and I had been going to Wooddale for only a few months, and Dale was cool.  "OK," he said, and we were set to drive to Lutsen, MN towards the end of the month.

There she was.  I hadn't actually noticed her at first.  Truth is, she noticed me first.  Having over 150 people "condo-hopping" throughout the evening, there were so many people to see--and meet.  Thankfully, I saw my friend Natalie.  "Natalie!" I said, giving her a hug.

At that very moment, Staci was only a few feet away, talking with Dale.  Dale was in the middle of one of his profound stories, no doubt.  But Staci stumbled, noticed me, and said to her friend Carolyn, "introduce me to that guy."

Carolyn did, and I was without words.  I remember the aura of light around her.  Angelic is the only way to describe it.

That was it.  I said a few pretty silly things, and left--her beautiful smile emblazoned on my mind.

Her Story: I didn't say, "intorduce me to that guy."  He was so loud and boistrous, I said, "who's that?"
