My romantic love story is about my husband’s and my love story that started over 20 years ago.
We met in Lawrence while we were both teenagers. As high-schoolers, we both had after-school jobs at Long John Silvers. I asked him to my senior prom because we attended different high schools. He said he would go with me and we had a wonderful time.
We then started dating throughout the summer but our romance ended when I decided to move back to Iola where I had lived previously. We did not keep in contact.
Ten years later with the invention of Facebook, I looked him up and we started talking again and then soon we started dating again and our romance quickly picked up where it left off. We decided after six months of dating again that we should move in together. He left the big city of Lawrence to come to Iola to start a life with me and my daughter.
We were married almost 10 years ago and we are more in love with each other than ever.
I am so glad I have this man in my life and that we had a second chance at love. He is my true soulmate and the love of my life.
