It was early spring in 1996 when I saw the mailman delivering my mail again. I kept thinking “Wow, he seems really nice and he is not bad looking at all.”
I mentioned to a friend that I had my eye on the mailman. She teased me for a week or so about him, about how she was going to tell him.
Well, one day she decided it was time to take action. She waited at the mailboxes for him and sat there and told him all about me and how I thought he was cute. That afternoon she phoned me and told me that the mailman just got off work and stopped by her apartment and that he wanted to come over to my apartment to meet me.
I about fell over backwards. When I hung the phone up and looked out the window, I saw her and the mailman walking towards my apartment.
He introduced himself and we talked for about a half hour and he asked me out on a date for the following week. I, of course said yes, and we have been together ever since.
We were married Feb. 22,1997, and we have two children together. We have had our ups and downs over the last 10 years and it has not always been easy, but we love each other very much and we are each other's best friend. I cannot imagine my life without him. He is everything to me, and he is a great father to our three children.
