"At the drop of a dime."
Everyone has a story to tell about special
moments in their relationship. The Packbiers are no different. Theirs
tells of a time not so long ago when Paul knew Tara was the woman he
would marry. It all began when Tara and Paul went south for a Halom Tano
bike race and Jeff's Pirate Cove Craft Fair. Tara decided that she
wanted to drive back into town but couldn't adjust the driver's seat in
Paul's Nissan Pathfinder to the right distance. |
Tara & Paul's favorite sweet.
Even Paul had a hard time adjusting it to his comfort
distance since something had jammed the track and the seat would not
budge. Paul had to drive back even though the seat was not adjusted
properly for his length. While Paul was taking a nap, Tara gathered her
tools: a pair of scissors, chopsticks and barbecue skewers in an attempt
to dig out whatever it was that had jammed the track.
|
After prodding, poking and picking for sometime, Tara yanked
out a dime that had fallen into the track. Paul came out just in time for her to hand him
the mangled coin as evidence of their earlier frustration. It was then that Paul knew she
was the woman he would marry. "Tara is a hands on person and a problem solver, just
like me," he said of the woman he now calls, "My wife!" |
