I was in the Air Force serving out my final year in my enlistment and was taking night division courses at the University of Vermont to get extra credits toward my possible Bachelors Degree.
I was in an American History class and she was sitting at a desk right next to me. At the time she was the Head nurse at the Clinical Research dept. in our local Hospital. She was working on credits for her Bachelors Degree in Nursing. We both smoked at the time so during breaks we would stand out in the hall and have a smoke and just talk about whatever. During class I would draw little faces and title them based on mood. Sort of early emoji's. Compared to me she was the best student in the world proven by the fact that by the time it was done she had managed to obtain her Masters in Nursing and another Masters in Gerontology and was just a dissertation away from having a Doctorate in Gerontology before she developed some mental problems that prevented her from finishing. Me? I still just have an Associates Degree in Business. Anyway, I did something that would probably get me arrested now, I followed her after class and found out where she lived and a few days later I showed up at her door with an invitation to go for a ride. My how times have changed. Four months later we were married. And unlike what my parents suggested, no it was not a shotgun type. Unfortunately, it didn't last forever. After 29 years we went our separate ways. We still saw each other at family gatherings until she passed away from a stroke, 4 years ago.

But my husband and I met in high school in Marching Band lol. I was on the drum line and he played Saxophone. We didn’t start dating until the summer after I graduated and he was in college though. He messaged me on Facebook and asked if I remembered him. We started dating soon after and have been together 10 years now
and married for 5.
