We met in high school, through a mutual friend named Sue. He had just come to our high school from another school a couple towns over, and knew nobody. The first day of Junior Year in 1996, Dennis strolled to his locker in N Hall and noticed a young lady having a lot of trouble opening her locker. Dennis, being the kind gentlemen he is, decided to walk over and offer to assist her. It is at that point they started to talk, her name was Sue.
Sixth period- Mrs. Gale's English II Class- I sit down in the first row of seats, so I can see the blackboard, and a young man, about 6'1" tall with fair skin and dark brown hair walks into the class. He was wearing dark black jeans, a black t-shirt, combat boots and carrying a navy blue Jansport back pack. He looks around at the other students in the class and takes a seat in the back of the room next to the side wall. My first impression of this young man- strange....
Seventh period- Lunch time!!- I walk in the right hand side of doors into the cafeteria and walk towards what my friends decided would be our lunch table. My friend Sue has already bought her lunch and is sitting down. I walk up to the table and sat down. As I look around the lunchroom to see who else has the same lunch, I see out of the corner of my eye, the same guy that was in my English Class. He walks up to our table, in an outspoken manner, and says "Hi Sue, do you mind if sit here?" He sat down across from Sue, next to me. He introduced himself as Dennis. And I intoduced myself. He seemed like a very nice guy, he still seemed a little strange to me, but I should learn not to judge a book by it's cover.
After all, who thought that very first day of junior year, Dennis and I would be married to each other within the next four years?
