This is the beginning of our Trek around Mackinac Island. 8 1/2 miles on

these lovely bicycles. We were such troopers. We had a blast! My Bum was sore

the next day, but we had fun.

Alan had to walk up a ton (over 200) stairs to get this picture.

I am terribly afraid of heights. I walk up the first set of stairs and

started to hyper ventilate, so I had to find the courage to go back down, ugh.

But Alan took some great pics from the top. This is one of them.

This one is Mackinac Bridge. For those of you who aren't familiar with

Mackinac Bridge, you should Google it. It is the longest free standing Bridge

in the Western Hemisphere. Five miles long. Very cool.

This is my fella, wishing I would quite taking his picture.

But it's so hard to stop. I just love his face.

This is the Hotel we stayed in. It is in Mackinac City.

The Day We met.....

The day I met Alan I was at work. Alan worked for the County Road Commission at the time and he came into my work on a regular basis. That first meeting we had he walked in the door and the first thing i said to my friend Annette was that he was "hot". Well, Annette said that he was too young for me. Alan came to me for help that day, and every time after when he would come in. He was coming into our office in the morning, and in the late afternoon. I took a trip to Arizona, and while I was gone he came into our office with some names (fake ones), he wanted to get my help on searching the records for these people (fake people). When he got there I wasn't there, he came the next day too, and I still wasn't there. Well, needless to say, he thought I didn't work there anymore, so he stopped coming in. He sent his co-workers instead. Well, one day he was sent in, and there I was. He went across the hall to get some info from another office and I had seen him walk in the building, so I promplty went across the hall to Nonchalantly talk to another co-worker and conveniently notice Alan. Well, he saw me and said hello, and asked if he could borrow my pen. Of course I let him, but told him that he had to bring it back. He did, and also asked me for more help. Which I promptly gave him. I helped him find several documents, he left and said that he owed me big. Once Alan was gone I realized that I had transposed some numbers and given him all the wrong information. I quickly faxed him the right info and told him to remember that he owed me big. Of course at the time I was kidding. The next day I received flowers at work from Alan and a week later we went on our first date, and 11 months later we were married.

I didn't know until later that Alan had come in with fake names so that he could ask me out on a date. I guess my going to Arizona was meant to be so that our story could be so much more interesting.
