I met my wife (when I was 15) at a post-rodeo dance at the Crow Fair (Crow Agency, MT.). We talked all night and into the morning and I was hooked, right then. Most family members and friends found us wrong for each other due to a number of reasons, and, yet, we couldn't stay away from each other (it was during this period that I earned my nickname/screen name :o)).
Those same skeptical family members and friends now seek out her advice, friendship, and company and consider her the solid rock/foundation of the family.
