A Meeting That Wasn’t Supposed to Happen

February 6, 2015 By Jody Hedlund

Since we're only a week away from Valentine's Day, I thought I'd share the story about how I met my husband! Have you ever stubbornly stamped your foot and said, "No. I'm never going to do that"?

So you might think it's a little strange that I've talking about Christmas movies. Ever since I researched 1940s Hollywood for Stars in the Night, I've been a bigger fan than ever of classic movies.

Merry Christmas From Our Home to Yours
