My parents met each other in a rather unusual way. My dad put an advertisement in the Mother Earth News and my mom responded just to see what would happen. They were both Mormons at the time and also kind of hippies. My dad was living in Oregon and my mom in the Bay Area of California. Well the interesting thing is that last Saturday while at a yardsale Andrew and I found the very issue with the advertisment. So of course we bought it. It was only twenty- five cents. It was really fun to find it.
The cover of the magazine
The month and year

The ad itself. LDS man, 29, seeks Lds woman, 22-32, marriage; share Oregon homestead...
So that is how my parents met.

What fun! I would have snapped it up, too!
Dude, I knew that story from your sister... BUT THAT is INSANE that you found the issue!!!!!!!! How crazy!!!!!!!!! The chances!!! What did your parents say?! Do THEY have that issue still? HOW SPECIAL! That's a keeper to be passed down! Can you imagine at a family reunion of your parents' lineage years from now?! How great!
