Reflections 28: Attraction

Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence. ~Eric Fromm

How old were you when you met Dad and what attracted you to him?

I was 18 years old when I met Michael, who would become my husband and the father of Emerald and Gabriel. He was 20 at the time and had been attending LCU for 2 years before I got there.

There was this cool place to go study and drink coffee and gossip right off of campus. It's where my new friends took me to hang out, and one day they invited their mutual friend, Mike.

I remember he wore this black button-up shirt with red accents on it...it looked really great with his fair skin and dark hair and goatee. He looked so cool and so sweet!! But he didn't seem interested in me at all. He looked like a bad boy, and I was a goofy freshman with braces and hooded sweatshirts 4 sizes too big for me. It took a while, but eventually he seemed to notice me :)
