The first time I said “HELLO” to my husband was….

at a dance…

when he was on a date…

with my roommate!

They had been dating for awhile and my other roommate and I had heard all about “Roger”. He had fixed her car, brought her flowers, made her dinner and treated her like a queen. But she was telling us “I’m just not sure about him”.  When I met Roger at a dance for the first time I said “Hello”, then I turned to my other roommate and said “this is Roger”? He was tall, dark, handsome and had lovely muscles everywhere. Seemed pretty clear to me that Roger was the complete package.

My roommate and Roger dated for awhile and eventually they parted ways. Roger went on a two year mission for our church and when he got home Roger and I said “HELLO” again and then he said “will you marry me?” I said “yes!” and our next five “HELLO”S” came as each of our 5 beautiful children were born. The years passed and then we said “HELLO” to our wonderful son-in-law. Not long after that we began the sweetest of sweet “HELLO”S” when our beautiful granddaughter (Muffin to us) was born.  Follow the chocolate trail to below to meet each one of them!

You just never know the chain of events that can come from doing something as simple as saying “HELLO”.  Lindt is making easier than ever with their new trendy “HELLO” line of chocolates.

I love these Crunchy Nougat, Strawberry Cheesecake and regular Hello mini sticks. My fav?…..the Strawberry Cheesecake!
