A Family Love Story from Australia — 2 Comments

  1. Lyn,my love story is pretty simple but I have always considered it a powerful example of destiny or the fact that God has a sense of humor. I was the only one of three girls to go south to college instead of North. I had heard about North Carolina while growing up. The first week, my suitemates took me to visit a friend of theirs in the male dorm across from ours. The friend was a freshman but his roommate was a senior. Eyes locked and then the senior asked me my name, "Julie" to which he replied, "the name Julie gives me heartburn." A girl the previous year with the same name had broken his heart. But I kept hanging around this guy because my friends did and soon we were an item. My mother heard I was dating a senior and knew it was trouble. She kept saying "you need to know his people." And wouldn't you know it that this girl from DC and the boy from Greensboro had grandparents and cousins who lived down the street from each other in Tennessee. Our families met over Thanksgiving weekend at a Stuckeys as we were in the same state visiting relatives and my future husband's parents offered to take me back to school. Not an awe inspiring tale except for us. Looking forward to the next book regardless of whether I win it or buy it. Peace, Julie
