I remember when we first met, taking dance lessons at Arthur Murray. Miss Stillwell introduced me to Mr. Hilbert with a request to Miss Sapp (me) that he wanted to dance a Foxy with me (slow dance). We talked about why we were taking lessons, he for a 5-year high school reunion and me because I wanted to - ended a recent 7-year relationship. I almost missed this man but my Mom said "he sounds nice". In this picture, celebrating our first year of marriage. A gift from God, a wonderful man, blessed with 31 years - it still feels like this.
