Today is the perfect day to tell you of how it all began; a true blue through and through love story. Roger and LeAnn at age 15 the summer before High School saw each other first in a drivers training class. LeAnn spotted Roger right off. However we each have a version of where we were sitting. I thought he was so cute and of course he thought the same of me; at least that is how the story is told. At the time I was dating another guy; but I still thought he was soooo cute. I loved Driver's training that summer because of Roger. However, one day we were in the same car for our driving instruction and we were doing Parallel parking. I was so nervous when I had my turn. After that it took me years to be good at parallel parking.I recently looked through an old journal of mine and found that he had asked me out that year and I said no. I regret that and can't imagine why I can't remember that moment at all. He wrote in my Sophomore year book; but I didn't write in his. What was I thinking?
Finally, Jack a friend of ours brought him to a Ward Halloween Dance. Roger was sitting on the stage in a really nice looking black and yellow sweater. I wanted him to ask me to dance so bad but he just watched Jack and I dance. What was he thinking?
We next met when he and Jack picked a friend and I up after watching a basketball game at the ward gym. He asked me out on our first date that night. On November 17th, 1962; we doubled with another couple and went to see the movie Longest Day. He held my hand and I wished that day and night had truly been longer. On November 20th, 1962 on my 17th Birthday; Jack and Roger came and picked up my friend Colleen and I; we went for a drive. He gave me a beautiful pearl and gold bracelet. It truly deserved a kiss. I in later years lost this bracelet; that sound familiar somehow. One kiss was enough for me and I was hooked and so was he. This was the true beginning of our Love story.
