Wyndee Fields

I probably shouldn't admit this, but this is one of my favorite movies. It is a holdover from my pre-Christian days. I watched it last weekend again and was reminded of my own "how we met" story.

It was spring 1989 and I was down to my last semester at the local community college. I had just started hanging around a group of friends that semester and was finally feeling like I belonged. At the same time, there was Handsome, hanging around the group, but he didn't have much to say. He was more interested in his Walkman and listening to 95YNF (the local Rock n' Roll station) and pretending he was drumming to the music (I'm a sucker for drummers). I didn't really know much about him, but he seemed pretty nice. He was in one of my classes and sometimes would walk another girl and me to class. He was always polite and held the door for us. Toward the end of the semester, the three of us were sitting at a table in the student center, away from the rest of the crowd, studying for a big test in this class. I remember looking up at him and thinking, "I'm going to marry him someday." I quickly pushed it out of my mind as I barely knew him.

A month or so later, I was walking into the student center and I heard a voice say, "Handsome likes you." I turned around to see who it was, but they were gone. It got me thinking and I had decided that I would be willing to go out with him if he asked.

To be continued...
