How I met Alan
I thought that I would copy Beth Keck and do installments of a story so that I won't talk about house stuff for awhile.
It was the summer of 1987 and I had just returned from a summer mission trip to Wyoming for 10 weeks. It was a good time and I had met a guy there(gasp!). It was welcome week down at the B.S.U. where I was the worship coordinator and we were having a Mexican Fiesta theme party to welcome the students back. I have this "do everything myself" mentality so I did not notice much other than the stuff that had to be done until the very end. I was sweeping up in the cafeteria area and happened to look up into the hallway where 3 tall good looking boys stood. Now, tall and good looking together were an anomaly at the Baptist Student Union in those days. There was a blond, a red head and a dark haired guy standing out there. Now, I have to tell you that I am attracted to dark coloring on men. When they came in and started flirting with me the dark haired one starting using this Scottish accent. I think all women are a sucker for accents, and I am no different. They introduced themselves as Keith, Kent, and Alan. They, especially Alan, were trying to talk me into going down to "The Ark", a Christian dance place - no smoking or drinking just dancing. Everybody was going and they thought I should go too. I have always been an early to bed early to rise type of person in those young years and I was tired. I told them I would think about it....I ended up going. Let me just say that I am so glad that I did. Even to this day with all the average day to day living and fighting that normal married people do I am glad that I didn't blow those guys off.
More next time.
