The love story - the short version

Some folks have been asking about how husband and I met. So I thought I'd put the long story in a few words and hopefully many years from now the grandkids will read about the Schamel junior love story...

It was love at first sight, from my angle anyway.

We met at my ma's house in Cape Town, where Husband was serving a mission for church. This means he was volunteering two years of his life to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. And I had decided to move back to Cape Town from living and working in Johannesburg. Five days after arriving in Cape Town I met the man whom I knew I wanted marry. He'll now admit that he thought I was a pretty girl on the day of our meeting (his words, not mine), but at the time he couldn't say much as he was in South Africa on a different mission, not to find a girl.

A few weeks later he completed the mission and returned home to the US. And after getting back into the dating game he realised that I WAS THE ONE:) We then dated over skype and got married at the Denver temple 6 months later.
