Today is our 37th anniversary! This wasn't exactly our engagement photo. It was a photo taken by a friend who wanted to paint a portrait of us for a wedding gift... another story. I love the photo because it's a reminder of how dang young (and lucky) we were. I was 21 and Don 24 when we became engaged. We had dated 4 months and were married 6 months later. Yep, we were in love, but there was some good luck on our side! Some of those Early Dates: January date to go lap swimming... getting together to build a newspaper kite (which failed).... Trout fishing with overall waders... Cross-country skiing and a winter picnic... Second date was during a blizzard to the only restaurant open and I had to drive the truck while Don pushed us out of a small snowbank!
