Josh and I were college sweethearts. Our first date was the Mardi Gras lunch at the cafeteria. Two years later, he was supposed to propose to me on my birthday, but my ring had to be special ordered. Then he planned an extravagant dinner to propose, but I had a major test the next day. The next night, he made a goofy home video of himself in which he proposed. We graduated college that year and married in Amory the following September. Our first child, Sam, was born the next year, and I quit my job to stay home.

I was working at a store that sold blue jeans back in the 70’s at Metro Center Mall. David came in to buy blue jeans and I helped him.

He came back several times after that and asked for my phone number. He called to ask me to a movie. We saw Urban Cowboy then went to Pizza Hut afterwards. The rest is history. That was Feb 3, 1980. We have been married almost 43 1/2 years and have two adult children who are both married. My 94 year old dad moved in with us a little over two years ago, and he loves Ole Miss more than anyone.
