  • Bob and Jan

    Love, at first sight, is easy to understand; it’s when two people have been looking at each other for a lifetime that it becomes a miracle.    Amy Bloom

    Bob and I met while I was drawing blood from his uncle at St. Elizabeth Hospital, Beaumont, Texas.  We had gone to school with each other but had never met.   Bob looked in an annual while visiting a friend of his, not realizing who I was, he quickly discovered that I had graduated with his friend’s wife.  He asked her if she knew me. She said she did and gave him my phone number!

    I got a call from Bob asking me if I remembered him from his uncle’s hospital stay?   In all honesty, I didn’t, you have to realize I drew blood from 50 plus people per day.   We made plans to go out and so it was.  It was love at first sight and we were married six months later. 

    This was an important day in Bob’s life. You see this was the day ten years before that he killed his biggest deer!  He never has forgotten that day, and he will always remember it without a problem.

    We are both Pisces, we are complete opposites. I guess that has come in handy in keeping our relationship strong. We have been married 32 years and counting and I know that by asking either one of us we are grateful that we met.  We count our lucky stars that day when we met.   Isn’t it strange how fate works?

    I guess all in all one would find us quite boring. We are homebodies. Love to watch TV especially when it’s sports-related. We are big-time into basketball. We also watch football and any special events like the Olympics. 

    The picture above was taken in Las Vegas. That is our favorite place to visit. We especially like it when we win!! LOL In between visits there we go to Kinder, Louisiana. It has a small casino there that is like a mini Las Vegas. All the comforts of home. And lots of slots. Don’t worry, we are not addicts. We can take it or leave it without a problem. And we never take more money than we want to give away.
