Because Two People Fell in Love
One of my favorites right after my grandson was born.
The Love Story:
My daughter, Erin had just bought her own house and had a series of roommates to help her pay the mortgage while she finished school. She tired of them leaving her with phone bills etc and saw an ad to host exchange students at Sacramento State College. She decided to enroll in the program and hosted numerous students.
His Story: He arrived from Korea and was at the college to find his host. He noticed a young woman drive up and jump out of a Jeep and was instantly tantalized so placed himself in a position to say hi to her as she walked by.
Her Story: She was going in to meet her next student and passed a guy who smiled broadly at her and said hi! She said hi and walked on by thinking, ” Mmmm -He’s kinda cute!” Lo and behold they were matched up!
She showed him the area when he was not in school and i thought something was different about this student. They spent so much time together. After he left she visited Korea and then he returned to complete his education here. They had two beautiful weddings, one, a traditional Korean ceremony and the other a traditional American one. They are now happily raising their little boy and talking about another child. They are beautiful.
