First of all, we'd like to introduce you to our little family: Calvin and Michelle have been married for 22 years!! We met while we were in college, Calvin had just returned from spending two years serving a mission for the LDS church in Canada and Michelle had just finished her first semester of college.
We like to say that it was "friendship at first sight." Calvin was intrigued by Michelle's ability to have fun and her infectious laugh. Michelle was intrigued by Calvin's hilarious sense of humor. She often teases him that he was the skinniest person she'd ever laid eyes on. They spent a lot of time together, just being friends, and it is that friendship that their relationship is now based.
Calvin was such a good friend, that even though he had started to feel some attraction to Michelle, he was the person that delivered a dance request to another boy for her!! (It was a Girl's Choice Dance.) Michelle was such a good friend that when Calvin promised his brother to go on a double date and he couldn't find someone, she spent lots of time on the phone, calling friends and acquaintances trying to make a connection for him. Finally, after many fruitless attempts to find Calvin a date, they decided that if he was going to help his brother out, he'd take Michelle. So, the story they tell now is; Calvin asked Michelle out on their first date because he was desperate and Michelle felt sorry for him, so she said yes. ;-)
(An attempt at humor.)
From that moment on, they spent every every moment together that they could, enjoying each other's company and building a solid relationship.
