How did I meet my wife ?

It was when J went to a secondary school, twenty-five years ago. She went to the first biological class, and I learnt in the second mathematical class. First I saw her beautiful long legs, then her pretty face. I came up to her, and asked her out in the evening. Her voice made me happy. It was love at first sight. I fell in love with her. In the evening we went for long walks to the park. We had a lot of topics. Later we both liked going to the cinema, to the theatre. We always met when we had free time. We liked chatting in a cafe, we very often went for walks.

Three years later I went to the Naval Academy in Gdynia. She stayed in Grudziądz, because she had to go to school. She and I wrote letters everyday. We met in Gdynia or in Grudziądz when we could. We often talked on the telephone. We got married five years later.

Now we live in Gdynia, we have a daughter and two sons. We are together everyday. I learn English, my wife studies at the Naval Academy. Our older son has a secondary-school certificate in May. We have a lot of problems, but with my wife it is not bad.

In this year we have the twentieth wedding anniversary.
