Mom and Dad

As I listened to Grandma talk I thought about something that Iliana N. Cordova told me and that is that how we meet our spouse's is similar to how are parents meet theirs, and that history is only repeating itself through us. My parents also meet through 4-H, while both were junior leaders, my mother was with a friend who said that my father was attractive. My mother then turned to her and said, "You think he's attractive." She replied, "Yes." My dad was friends with my Uncle Tom and had helped with when showing hogs, so later he came into the hog barns my mother told him that Tom wasn't here. He replied that he wasn't looking for Tom, but had come to ask if he could take her to get something to eat. They spent that week getting to know each other better, and during that week my father took my mom home early from the fair where Grandma Runkle really got to talk to my father. Which in turn helped him get her approved to date my mom, because she wasn't so sure about him where Grandpa had work with dad to get to know him.
Mom may have to get on to edit this story but I think that covers the main parts. I liked how it seemed to match what my Grandmother said about how she met my Grandfather.
