LOL Hoss Gal!
And it was six dates. (He's that good.) I wasn't about to let anyone else snag him.
Shortly after we started dating, we went to Gulf Shores to celebrate my birthday and while having a fabulous time watching the Velcro Pygmies play 80s music at the Live Bait, there was a wedding rehearsal party going on. Sweetie put his arms around me and whispered in my ear, "I'd marry you in a heartbeat."
I said, "OK."
Three weeks later, we were married and two and 1/2 years later, we are still on our honeymoon. He supports my career and I support his. He respects and encourages me. It's no wonder I got published in romance soon after we married. I was finally inspired.
