Happy Day of Love

In looking at Julie's blog I thought it was great and here we go
I remember in first grade I was sitting in the front row on the right of Miss ?'s class, my mind is gone. She was calling out names and when she said Robin Frontone there were two of us that said here...Robin Black, a guy and me. I was appalled to see there was another Robin and it was a guy! Then I went home and told my mother to change my name right now! She laughed at me and told me the story of Robin Hood and then I asked her what was she thinking naming me a guy name?

My first love was in 8th grade. It was Ed Coleman. He and his wife live in northern Utah now. We used to play cards on friday night with them. We did the dances in junior high. He was a band guy and his sister was in orchestra with us. She was in love with Jim Bird in high school. He went on his mission and was at my baptism! He died three months later of a heart condition. It broke Sydney's heart. But she is now married with a boat-load of kids.

I was really good friends with Dennis Barr in HS. From sophie year up. I never really loved him but liked his brother really well. He was a bass player. Well, he moved on and I met Bryce McCrea. Man, he was so cool. He was in German class with me and we were in the club together. His folks were from Ohio. His mom worked for the school district office. Anyway we got to see each other in Durango, Colo a few years ago when he apologized for being a jerk in HS.
He kinda dumped me for someone else. He is divorced and taking care of his mom in Apache Junction.

In college I had various friends who were boys but no boy friends. We were running around in groups so we just enjoyed each other's company besides all my music colleagues were basically gay guys. I loved Doug who played the organ and took me to gay bars.

I met Stephen at Church. I had just been baptized in Reno...and gone back to sign up for an institute class. Stephen was teaching the sunday school lesson. I was in the front row paying attention and day dreaming what a nice guy he seemed to be. Well, he thought I was not paying attention and within two weeks we were called to teach family history together because I had just handed in my four generation program.
We dated a few times and then we met other people and dated for a while cause it felt wierd.
then we got back together. He wined and dined me on pot pies and water, walked me around the temple in Mesa a few times and froze my toes off then we went back to ASU and he proposed to me...I thought he just wanted to be good friends...
Well, we are, he is, and I am totally happy to be a couple, too into it to quit and too tired to make a fuss. Tonight we go to Zion Park Inn and have a weekend together. Woohoo! We are quilting.
Next year he is incharge of the activity so we are going this year to pay attention.
Isn't life grand???
