This unconventional love story begins October 7, 1960, on the campus of the University of North Dakota when Jeannie meets Jim, a junior with his feet planted squarely in mid-air.
How will Jeannie deal with what life has in store for her as the years unfold?.
Neither of them has a car, a job, a bank account, and certainly not a ski boat or any idea of what the future might bring.
The newlyweds\' honeymoon is a 75-cent cab ride to their new home, a sparsely furnished one bedroom apartment with rent prepaid for half a month.
Nine people attend the ceremony the following day.
She shows up a day late.
Nonetheless, Jeannie agrees to a wedding date of June 19, 1964.
Jim never proposes, there is no engagement ring, and she faces a year-long separation of 2000 miles after Jim graduates and moves to California.
Back on campus, Jim continues his pursuit of Jeannie\'s affection, and for some unexplainable reason she falls in love with the rascal.
Jeannie declines in favor of returning to UND to obtain her college degree.
He asks her to marry him.
Jeannie and Jim\'s budding relationship blooms but is nearly torpedoed the following summer when Jeannie meets a man in Wyoming who has everything a girl might dream of, including a ski boat, Jeannie\'s one absolute requirement for a future husband.
