The very first time I ever saw Jeff he was the day he started working at the same Kmart I was working at as a cashier while I did some substitute teaching. I remember it like yesterday. There is no doubt he captured my attention immediately with his charm and dashing good looks. I like to tell people the story of how one day while working, I was told that Jeff needed help stocking in his sporting goods department. So here I was, totally smitten, trying to pretend that I knew how to stock fishing lures! Needless to say, Jeff ended up doing most of the work. But we were able to have a nice conversation and the rest is history. Yes, without a doubt, we had our highs and lows. But in the end, Jeff did the very best with what he had and his boys know that he loved them. And that's most important thing.
