July 4, 1965

45 years ago tomorrow,
my mom and dad met
at these apartments
on School Circle Drive
in Riverside, California...


My dad was living in this apartment, (below) and my mom was spending the weekend with her friend, Ginger. My mom was laying out by the pool in a lounge chair. My dad walked next door to visit Ginger, his neighbor. Her apartment overlooked the pool. They were standing by the window, when pops looked out and said, "Who's that?" 5 minutes later, my dad was standing on the diving board with his swim trunks on! HA HA!




My dad walked to the Dairy Queen that day and bought 2 banana splits to go. This is literally around the corner, but they must have been kind of melty!




They dated 1 full month before they got engaged.











About 3 months after that, they got married. When you know, you know. It was so fun to go to this place today to see where it all got started. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to the best parents!!! I'm so blessed that you are mine!

I didn't know that story! Too cute and funny! Happy 45th Anniversary!

By the way Carrie, it usually takes longer than one month.....

HA HA! Depends on how much intuition you have been blessed with.

My folks met on New Years Eve and were married on May 1st, so they obviously followed the Wilson's plan.....

Good story...
