[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 732735, member: 16024"] OK, the fire-starting story. A few years ago, I was dating my hubby and my daughter was a pre-schooler. It was the very first time we went camping together. Hubby rented a cabin on the lake for a week and we stayed there, but we went to a remote area to have a bonfire one night and cook our hot dogs and s’mores and stuff. Well, we get there and he realizes that he has forgotten the matches! It’s either waste lots of time driving somewhere to get some matches or make the best of it. My daughter loved all things camping, and had been fascinated with starting a fire the old-fashioned way (and had been talking about it quite a bit), so hubby (then-boyfriend) said he thought he remembered how to do it. And he managed to get it started, while showing my daughter how to do it. That evening my daughter and I fell completely in love with him, and I knew that he was the guy. At the end of the trip, we were driving back to where I lived. It was several hours drive, and I had been feeling sicker and sicker that day. I laid my head down on his knee and fell asleep while he sang. Hubby (later) told me that was the moment he knew at that moment that he wanted to marry me. [/QUOTE]
