Fundy FAQ Friday

The Question Emily will address today is...

How Did You Meet Your Husband?

First, Emily wants to say that she loves Fock You Friday because a lot of times it's a fun excuse for her to spout her religious views in a blog where they otherwise don't fit. Other times, it let's her share something personal and fun, like how she met Dna.

Emily says that after highschool, Dna went to state college for a few classes easch semester [I find this incredibly hard to believe. I'm not American, but I imagine your real schools would require better writing and communication than Dna possesses] Emily says he wasn't sure what he wanted to do with his life [An aimless man is prime snagging material, pay attention ladies, Emily is telling you how to real in a controllable mayun] Dna only went to college for one year, she doesn't say if he passed any of his classses, and then his mother got deathly ill, like planning the funeral ill. She's still alive, but she never fully recovered [Anyone else remember when Dna was Facebooking and wondering aloud if his mother was being poisoned? Weird] So, Dna put his life on hold for a few years to care for her, and then decided to go to Babble College.

Em took a year off school after high school, and then found Babble college, where she felt God wanted her. Emily doesn't say what she did with that year off though.

"I was a fresman and he was a senior"

In Babble College everything was structured and there was a strict dress code and rules about when you could hang out with the opposite gender. There was a no hand holding rule, no touching, and no pokes rule.

Dna remembers first seeing his future go in the toilet, er, I mean Emily during a freshmen orientation called "The Get to Know You Session."

Emily first remembers seeing Dna at the supper table, that was the only meal where they had free seating instead of assigned seating. They struck up a conversation about what brought them to Babble College and what the will of God was for their lives. Dna vividly recalls their conversation ending with Emily saying "Well, I know that the will of God for me right now is to clean dishes."

They ran into each other a few times around campus [God, this is getting boring, she can't even tell the story of how she met her partner with any flair, I hope it picks up soon. ] They sometimes sat together at supper, chapel or softball, they both played softball. [Back when Dna had food and energy to play softball that is, now he looks like he'd break if he tried to swing a bat] They both also vividly [There's that word again, I think she likes it] recall sitting at a bonfire at the home of some married students. They sat there for hours, until curfew talking about theology, dreams and family.

Emily says that Dna impressed her but that she wasn't looking for a relationship at that time. She went to Babble College to grow closer to God, not to find a husband. She felt she needed to distance herself from him, so she even hid from him in a coat closet once [ I bet Dna wishes their Apartment of Horrors had a closet so he could be the one to hide from her now] So finally she decided to have a long reflection period with God while she was avoiding Dna and she saw that she was closer to God when she was with Dna, and that God was blessing their budding friendship.

So Dna's best friends fiance was in charge of seating arrangements an she pulled some strings so Em and Dna could sit together at meals. At the Babble college there was a divide among single students and couples. She says no one liked it that way, but that's the way it was and some of the students at their table griped about a couple getting to sit together.

Dna asked Emily what she thought of others refering to them as a couple, and she said she liked it. Not long after that they became an official couple, meaning he called her mom and asked permission. Emily's dad didn't want to be called because he's a bit of a feminist. [Rock on Emily's Dad, Woohoo!]

So, that is how they met and fell in love, and she is lucky to have him, and she's thankful that he feels the same way about her.

Okay, that was the most boring How we Met story ever. I didn't read it to the end and then start typing, I started typing as I was reading it, and I thought it would become interesting somewhere along the line, but it never did. Giz's Parody of how they met is much better.
