…that I married the captain of the football team? Not from my own high school, of course.
And, I married a wrestler. Placed 8th in the state for his weight class and then went on to wrestle at Washington & Lee.
(This picture has its own story, because the guy Joe’s wrestling was a friend that I swam with on swim team with long before Joe and I ever met. By the way, Joe would just want you to know he did in fact beat him.)
Not only does my man have brawn, but he has brains too…graduating cum laude.
And there were times he looked like a meathead.
But he was a really cute kid!
And, yes, his beard was really that long.
When he finally shaved we measured it at 4.5 inches! It’s yet to have come close to that length again. Recently, Joe’s even said I had no business falling in love with him looking like that. Oh well, I did. It happened and I’m proud of it.
He’s kind of a funny guy too…he is the guy who grew a mullet so he could have his driver’s license picture with a mullet. I mean, he is the guy who’s been known to make up songs about ‘what if Jesus was a lobster fisherman.’
…put also passionate about preaching the truth.
And then I took him home to meet my family and extended family…
And had to get used to taking lots of pictures…this was his first “photo session” and had a hard time maintaining his smile.
He was surprised at the things I use to wear…I know it’s short.
He’s a great daddy…
But this is probably one of my favorite pictures of us:
So….did you laugh? Because how can you not think wrestling singlets are funny!
