How I Met My Wife.
It was a cold and stormy night in November 1998. I was at a friends house relaxing, contemplating what to do that night. The weather was horrible, so I figured I wouldn't be doing anything. Well about midnight I ran out of smokes and decided to venture out to get a pack. On the way to the gas station I remembered a couple of friends were having an underage drinking party and seeing as I fit the underage bill I decided to brave the weather. On the way to the gas station I turned a corner, slid off the road and came within a foot or two of hitting a house... I started to change my mind about driving the 15 miles to the party.
After buying my smokes I decided I'd test the highway, see if it was at least drivable. If not I could always turn around somewhere and head home or back to where I left earlier. The highway's condition sucked! I tried to turn around in a hotel parking lot and slid right by the entryway. I thought well, I've got a few more places to turn around at. By the time I was able to find an entryway somewhat plowed I was already half way to the party. I also slid by it. Next stop Wal-Mart's parking lot to turn around. Well by then I was only 3 miles from the party so I decided screw it I am going there I guess. Long story short, I arrive meet Kerri and the rest they say is history.

Interesting that you and Kerri met in spite of, (or because of), a snow storm! I down-shifted on glare ice in the middle of a blizzard in his street hemi, slid into a deep ditch (oy!) -- and he still married me later on that day!
I was in my second year of college when I first met the woman that would become my wife a couple of years later. She was my French teacher.
Most people that know me figure that's how I managed to graduate.
Dell,
That was a nice story...see it was destiny!
