Ok. It's about my bedtime; but I'm gonna try to tell a little more of my story of how I met and married the 'girl of my dreams'.
The day after I watched to see if she went out with someone else, I went back to the store where she worked. We talked for a few minutes before I asked her if she would like to go out that evening. She agreed to go out with me that evening. I don't remember what or where we went or what we did.
I remember that one evening we, along with my parents went to Waco, Texas. Waco was about 32 miles from where we lived. We were shopping for Christmas gifts. Mainly, my mom was looking for Christmas gifts. My dad left gifting and such to my mom. I and my 'girlfriend' were just along for the ride.
After we got back home, we dropped my parents at home and we rode around town for a while. I remember taking her home and sitting in the car in front of her house. We talked for several minutes. I asked her to wear my class ring around her neck on a chain; and she did. And of course, I asked her if I could see her the next day. We continued our daily/nightly dates.
On New Years Day we went with my mom and dad to see my mom's brother and his family in Arlington, Texas. We had a nice visit with them, returned home, dropped off my parents, and went riding around. A friend was driving a truck, hauling sand from a sand pit about 6 miles from where I lived. We parked there away from everybody and everything. I need to say something here. Neither she nor I had had sex before. And we didn't have sex until the night we were married. Believe it or not, that is the truth.
After we left the sand pit and were about half way to home, I told her that she had seen some of my kinfolk, and asked her if she would she consider getting 'mixed up in my family'. She had a really bad case of laryngitis at this time. She couldn't speak above a whisper. She just nodded her head. I asked her if she realized what I was asking her. She, again, nodded her head. To be certain, I told her that I was asking her to marry me. She nodded again!
At this time I was attended junior college. I didn't go back to classes after she agreed to marry. I started looking for a job. We continued to see each other daily. After I knew that I wasn't going to continue my college work, I took my books to the college. I sold them to the book store. As I was walking out of the building, my English teacher stopped me. She 'made' me take my mid-term exam. That was the only credit I got from the Junior college.
I started a job on the 23rd of January, 1963, in a grocery store. I worked Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and part of Saturday.
I asked her on Thursday if she still wanted to get married. She said she still wanted to get married. On Friday morning, I picked her up at her house and we drove to the local clinic/hospital. We had our blood drawn for our 'blood tests'. (I passed out when they drew my blood!)
After we got our blood drawn, my dad and her mom went to the courthouse to sign for us to be married; and we got our marriage license. At that time I was only 20 and she was only 16. The state required a parent's signature for anyone less than 21 years old to be married.
Enough! I'll continue this tomorrow.
