How I Met Margaret
I first saw Margaret at a Young Life volunteer meeting in Charlotte and I knew I’d never seen her before. I did some snooping with a mutual friend and learned she was 1) single, 2) four years older, and 3) seemingly perfect. I was slightly fearful of #2 and seriously doubted #3, but my interest was piqued!
Two weeks later, through both God’s providence and our shared love to linger, we were among the last few people at a Young Life event. When her Chevy Equinox was backing up, I awkwardly left the conversation I was in and ambled over to her, waving to stop the car.
After introducing myself and confirming she was THE Margaret I’d heard about, I asked her to go on a date with me. With surprise and bashful confusion, she agreed, saying she 'appreciated the boldness.'
After a date to the Goodyear house in Noda and a night spent staring at the stars in Cordelia park, things were different.
And that's how I met my future wife.
For all the days along the way
