Welcome to the Share Our Lives link up hosted by myself, Adrienne, Jen, Joanne, and Sarah! We will be sharing our lives this year on the second Monday of each month, and this month’s prompt is how we met our significant others or best friends. I am sharing how I met my husband today.
Our first picture after we started dating. We were out for my 19th birthday.
The short story is that I met Dave in college. The longer story is that we met on a trip to Israel during winter break of our freshman year. Officially, we met in the Tower Air Terminal at JFK Airport! I think I made a bad first impression because I was acting silly and talking about my stuffed Mickey Mouse that was traveling with me, and my impression of him was that he was very quiet. I asked him if he liked being called David or Dave and he kind of shrugged without giving a real answer.
During the trip we became friends and hung out together often, usually with others from our group too. Apparently, when he showed his family his photos from the trip, they pointed out that I was in a lot of them. However, I think most of us were in most of our pictures, because we were a small group!
At a formal we went to during college.
When we went back to school after break, we continued being friends and I’m not sure I realized that he liked me as more than friends at first. I was getting out of a bad relationship with my high school boyfriend so that complicated things. I think Dave asked me to go somewhere with him and I realized he meant as a date and then I had an anxiety attack and went home for the weekend. Eventually we did go on a date and I think I told him I still wanted to remain friends.
A favorite picture of us during junior year of college.
After a lot of months of friendships, I realized I liked him and asked him if he still liked me. He did, so we became official. We were dating for 3 years before we got married.
A wedding photo!
