Would you like to know how it all began?

In February of 2001, Charles (Bud) and I "met" online on the Christian Cafe.com website. Neither of us had ever done anything like this before, but both of us had high recommendations from family and friends to "just try it"! So we did! After "talking" for a couple of weeks online, Charles asked me if I thought it was rushing things to ask me for a date. My response led us to meet at the Heritage House Restaurant in Montgomery, Texas on February 15, 2001. What a delightful time we had comparing our backgrounds - both preacher's kids, both had one sister, both went to Bible College, both had two daughters, both liked meatloaf, both liked people and the ministry, and on and on. We talked so long on the first date (closed the restaurant down) that we decided we would like to meet again. And the rest is our history! You will see here a photo of the restaurant where we met! If you are ever in Montgomery, Texas, please eat at the Heritage House, a family restaurant with great food! Update: We celebrated one of our anniversaries there and when we were to be seated we asked for the same table where we had our first date. Our waitress that evening was the same one as had waited on us! And she remembered us! Know more of our history in upcoming posts......
