Describe it in full detail.
For me: Probably winning the Youth Award at age 15 at the county fair.
I spent almost half a year working on growing some good-looking vegetables, and sewing dresses, and knitting and spinning Angora and wool, and weaving material. With all of this, I created as many items as I could. I had canned jellies and sauces, golden-orange pumpkins, giant cucumbers, a small knit and embroidered dress, a Civil War ball gown, some tatted lace, a skein of very thin Angora yarn dyed many different colors, Christmas cards, photobooks, everything I could think of.
So, I submitted everything and waited. When the day of the fair came, I got my ticket to ride the rides. We ate corndogs and watched the animal shows. Then, we walking inside the air-conditioned building. And there were all my exhibits, almost each of them with a blue ribbon.
Posted on the wall to the side was my name as the winner that year (the most blue ribbons). I even got my name in the paper.
Well... meeting this one guy...
I had spotted him a week earlier and he was just THE guy... I thought he was the coolest in the whole room.. I followed him towards the bathroom and he thought I wanted to get a hold of the gadgets he was getting attention with... well I didn't plan on that and I told him I just wanted to talk... I positioned myself right in front of him, told him about the effect of alcohol on my body and told him to take me to his room (basically)... 2 months later we got married... and we are still married... more than a year later...
Edit: He also led me to Christ...
