Once upon a time there was a 12 year old girl who reluctantly went to a combined Young Men/ Young Women volleyball activity at the church. She noticed a curly haired blond boy, just barely dating age, and became smitten when he turned and smiled her way. A few minutes after this exchange a volleyball came crashing down on her face leaving her totally embarrassed thinking life as she knew it was over! Surely he'd only think of her as the clumsy little beehive who couldn't play volleyball.
There were other small exchanges over the years even a couple letters from Brazil. But it wasn't until last fall, 5 years after that first encounter, that the same cute boy got the nerve to ask her to join him on a motorcycle ride. Her mother watched out the kitchen window as she hopped on the back of that bike grinning from ear to ear, arms wrapped around him holding on for dear life.
They have had many adventures over the past 10 months. One of which was doing a summer play together. Something I'm sure he never imagined doing. He learned a solo for the audition. And even learned to polka with the best of them. Oh, the things he's done for love! The hardest thing he's had to do is watch her kiss another guy three times a week on stage during the wedding scene. How many couples can say they've been through that one? The show plays Tuesday, Thursday and closes Saturday this week.
They are off to college next week. Who knows what the future holds for these two dear ones. But oh what a fun ride it's been!
