And the Answer Is.....

3 MONTHS!!!! Yes, to all of you who voted 3 months - you were right!! NOW - I must explain.......We actually knew each other pretty well - we had been friends in a large group since the beginning of the school year - AND we were 21 and 22 yrs. old (see age has some bearing there too, right?!?!?!) We went on our first "official" date on Nov. 11 (I didn't know this but Joe was looking for rings over Christmas break already - yikes!!!) and he proposed on Feb. 11. So there you have it - 3 months - but then we didn't get married until that following December - so we were engaged quite a long time too!!! Now you know how the Bilby's began......I think the rest of you should share.......oh yes, but we need a poll first!!!

Old Fun

Ok - since I've resurrected these old photos AND figured out the scanner - you guys are in trouble!!!! No one is safe now!!! But - I think I'll share a fun "dating" picture today - mind you, this is only a few years ago!!!!! (Yeah right and four - almost five kids later!!!)

As our oldest son reminded us yesterday, "Wow, you guys are almost 40 - that's kind of old!" And then I gently reminded him we are a few years from 40 yet - don't push it!!!
