Walter & Mary's 20 Year Journey

by Mary Fields
(BC Canada)

Well we used to work together in Oregon, then Walter moved to open an office in the same business in Florida, and I opened another one in Seattle, we didn't really know each other, but when we met in Florida while training, I asked if he would come and manage my office in Seattle, and he did and we started dating from that point in 1985. I travelled to Seattle often weekends to visit. We were on and off in our relationship, I wanted more commitment, but he wasn't ready for a commitment. So we parted ways in 1990 he moved to Denver, me back to Vancouver, then in May 1991 I said after a couple trips to Denver, that I was done, it was too difficult. The next day he called me and said he was coming to Vancouver, and I said Ok for a visit? He said well I was thinking that my life was better with you than without it, so we were married a month later. Oh Happy Days.
We have been very happily married now for 20 years 2011.
