Personal Narrative: The Day I Met My Husband

Great Essays

A young girl with straight light brown hair, fair skin, and tears in her light brown eyes. Behind her was a teenage male with the same features sitting in a seat staring at me with a look of concern, then there was an adult man with a stressed expression. They all crowded around me, the silent room suddenly was filled with questions of concern. “I’m sorry, who are you?” I asked, immediately regretting that.

    Zach, the Manager of the Ridgedale Dairy Queen, was my first boss. He’s the kind of guy that I would avoid eye contact with if I were walking across campus alone, over 6 feet, burly, and with big, curly hair and beard. Besides being physically intimidating, he’s loud, he’s opinionated, the very first day he asked me, “So, Maren, what are your politics?” which, unsurprisingly took me, a mousy Minnesota native, aback.

    My excitement was like a like five year old on a sugar rush from eating too much Halloween candy. I had not played Rock Band in seven depressing years. The game forged a very destructive and negative atmosphere, due to the deafening sounds of the musical instruments and songs. I screamed into the microphone aggressively, attempting to follow the violent lyrics shown on the large television. I was anxiously moving along to the beat of the song, jumping energetically from side to side.…
