The best decision I ever made was to marry the girl who stole my heart when she walked into Mr. Brost's History class at the beginning of my senior year of high school. I know that high school romances are not supposed to be forever and that when kids get married in their teens, the marriages aren't supposed to last, but we have proven those things wrong. It is still awesome to go through each day with my best friend.
This girl took my breath away when she walked into class that morning. I was too shy to talk to girls, so it was almost a year before she knew I was interested. I think the good Lord knew that I needed all the help I could get, so he made our paths cross in several ways that year. Mr. Brost selected five students to work together weekly to produce learning packets for History class. Gina and I were both in the group. We both worked at the Harris Pine furniture factory. I worked on the dresser jig, and she made drawers. I would spend my breaks with the drawer makers, but she still didn't catch on.
It came time for our High School graduation, and I still had never gotten up the nerve to ask her out. Finally, I mustered up every ounce of courage and asked her if she would march with me when we graduated. She told me she would like to, but she had already told Russell she would march with him. If I talked to Russell, she would march with me. Once again, summoning up every bit of courage, I talked to Russell. He was very gracious and bowed out. I was on cloud nine.
The rest is history. There hasn't been a dull moment since.
Grow old along with me
The best is yet to be
When our time has come
We will be as one
God bless our love
Grow old along with me
Two branches of one tree
Face the setting sun
When the day is done
God bless our love
Spending our lives together
Man and wife together
World without end
World without end
Grow old along with me
Whatever fate decrees
We will see it through
For our love is true
God bless our love
