Yankee Roots & Southern Ties?

As I said in my bio, I am from south west Ohio, in between Dayton & Cincinnati. My husband however is from west Texas, Odessa to be exact. We met when I was in high school, he knew a family from Ohio that runs a church camp and he came up to Yankee country to work one summer. He says that he came up the next 2 summers after that because of a job, but I think it was because he just couldn't get enough of me. Anyways, summer love always seems to fade and we both went our separate ways, me to Wright State University in Dayton,Ohio; and him to Hardin Simmons in Abilene, Texas. We lost touch for approximately six years, and three of those years, unbeknownst to me, he was back up in Ohio for a job(again, I believe he was looking for me:). Our paths crossed once more in February of 2007, six months of whirlwind dating, then married August 18,2007. Call it what you want: fate, luck, destiny;but we believe that God made us for each other,and no matter how far apart our worlds were, He was going to bring them together. So, wherever God directs me & my family on this journey of life, I will always have precious Yankee Roots & sweet Southern Ties.
