Valentine's Day coming up.
How long have you and your spouse been together, how did you meet, what was your first impression?
Met DH in voluntary service in Hutchinson, KS when I came down from Saskatoon, Canada to volunteer for a yr with a church agency. First impression, at the airport, was "Do all Kansans talk like that?"
We proceeded, after getting married, to do 3 more years of FT volunteering through similar agencies, in Lancaster Co, PA, and then, back in KS.
Am proud that our kids are following in our footsteps. DD20 volunteered last year in New Orleans and TX, rebuilding homes. DS18 has applied to volunteer in Raleigh, NC in fall, repairing computers for an agency that donates them to children.
DD has also met the man who will likely be her future spouse when she was volunteering.
My mom volunteered for a year in MS in 1959-60, teaching children. 3 generations of volunteers now. She'd be proud, too.
