Special Day!!

To many of the Holland family, this day is way before you even existed. This is the day, 38 years ago, that Ron and I first laid eyes on each other. I can still remember riding in a car going south on Glenstone at 9:00 at night, pulling up to a stop light and lookng over and seeing Ron for the first time. He was a passenger in his brother's car. I can still remember that exciting first glance. It was love at first sight- we met later that evening and went on our first blind date. (And thanks to Roger for setting it up!) That was the beginning of our life together. It has been a wonderful life, with a few bumps along the way. God has blessed us with great families, 2 wonderful children, 4 fabulous grandchildren (so far), and promises of even great things still to come.
I'm so thankful to God for bringing Ronnie (that's what he went by back then), to Missouri in 1969. So now you know why today is such a special day for us. We never let Nov. 1 go by without taking the time to reflect. Enough about our day--you have a great day!!!

All my love to my wonderful husband,
Vicky

Vicky, I left an earlier comment but it didn't post for some reason so I'll write it again. Thanks for reminding us of that wonderful day 38 years ago when you and Ron met. I remember so clearly South Glenstone in 1969 (and following). It is very nice to remember having a part in you and Ron being introduced. How kindly God worked on that day. You have both been such a blessing to each other and to the rest of our family as you've lived out your commitment to each other. I'm so glad to have known you for almost 40 years -- you have brought so much "good" and "class" to our family. Thanks for the nice memory.
Love you both,
Roger
