Two stepping On August 24, 1997, Sam Allen and I met. It was definitely love at first sight, and a love that God had in store for us. We lived in different towns and had never met prior to this day. My younger sister (age 10) had actively been going to the Palimino Country Club in Fayetteville for family night. One night she begged me to go with her, and after a big guilt trip, I went. Shortly after we arrived, a slow song began to play, and a young guy asked me to dance. My answer was “no,” because I didn’t really know how to dance. Dragging me onto the floor, he insisted that I was going to dance and enjoy myself. As we danced, he pointed to his friends who usually came with him on family night. That is where I spotted Sam. I asked my dancing man to introduce me to all of them. Later in the evening, they offered “two-stepping” lessons. They told the guys to find a partner, and Sam picked me. We have been together since the age of 17. We dated for four and half years without ever being separated. We married in 2001. We had our first beautiful daughter, Olivia, in 2004 and our second beautiful daughter, Violet, in 2006. It was definitely a God-sent marriage and family. Angela Allen, Tar Heel, Four County EMC |
