For Valentine's Day, our alumni website held a "Golden Eagle Lovebirds" contest, for stories about falling in love while at Tennessee Tech University. I wrote up my side of our first date, and it won!

We win some gift certificates for dinner and a movie, but the best part for me is sharing my goofy story with everyone because mrshardware is so wonderful. I hope you enjoy it! (It's also the first time I've won anything for good writing.)

What a lovely story! I guess its true that "the early bird gets the worm!"

Congrats!

A really nice story.

Congrats.

Awwwww!

I however had no romantic excuse for my differential equation grades.

Congratulations, on both.

The professor gave his tests first thing Monday mornings. Every Friday, I'd pack my textbook to take along to study, but I just never got around to looking at it all weekend, all summer long. Guess I was busy studying more important subjects. Fortunately, the professor gave additional tests, so you could eventually get enough points to pass. I was a regular at those sessions.

Oh, the first time I went to her home (very rural Tennessee) when I pulled up there were two very large hunting dogs barking their lungs out at this strange car in their yard. Kay had never mentioned any dogs, so I assumed they were cool. I just walked in the house and the very first thing her mother said to me was a very surprised sounding, "The dogs didn't bite you?" I guess I passed that test.

Awww!

(For the love story, not the dog story.)

So sweet.
