August 17, 1990~A momentous day in My History!

By
Real Estate Agent with Silvercreek Realty Group

August 17,1990 is a day that changed my life forever. 

It's the day that I married my sweetheart~Jeff Pugmire. 

Jeff and I attened Meridian High School together, and both graduated in 1984.  We weren't High School sweethearts however, I kind of knew who he was, and that was about it.  Later as we were both attending Boise State University we had a class together and the rest as they say is history! 

As I look back on my dating experiences,  I realize that I was almost clueless when it came to picking a spouse.  I pretty much lucked into finding a Wonderful man!   There have been so many qualities that I have come to appreciate in my husband that weren't on my original "shopping list".  I am so grateful that I found someone that has those qualities! 

Things like;

  • Someone that has a loving, supportive family.
  • Someone that makes me smile and laugh!
  • Someone that tells me I'm pretty.  (My father never did this for my mom so I didn't even know men like that existed.)
  • Someone that's a Visionary, Dreamer, and Believer. 
  • Self improvement mentality.
  • Thoughtful, loving Father. 
  • Secure Man that doesn't feel threatened by a Strong Woman. (I didn't realize there were jerks around that were so insecure until I got a little older and wiser.)

I was very fortunate to find a Husband that would help me be my best self!

  • <

    The things that were on my original shopping list were pretty simple. 

    • Handsome
    • Smart
    • Respects me (Ain't no Man gonna give me any crap!)
    • Strong Religious Beliefs

    I am ever grateful to a loving Heavenly Father that guided me to a good Man!   We have made a

    Wonderful Life together!

    Happy Anniversary Sweet Heart!  I love you! Here's to 18 fantastic years and forever to look forward to!

    Here's my secret to a Happy Marriage...

    Pam,

    Thats a special day for me too!  We just celebrated 34 years, after being high school sweethearts. I had the same list as you, and fortunately got more than I asked for as well.  I also was naive, ( read that YOUNG!)  to the fact that there were some really insecure jerks out there who are not supportive.  Of the college crowd that ran together, 3 of the four couples married on August, 16,17 and 18, each a year apart.  2 couples are still together! Happy BELATED Anniversary!
