How did u all become freemasons?

I come from a family of Masons, and married into a family of masons. Freemasonry was always there in the background, I just didn't know it at the time.

I asked a friend to recommend me, and waited with baited breath... turns out he had been behind on paying his dues and was avoiding contact with his own lodge. After waiting for months on end (6 months to be exact) I approached a family member. He gave me some of the best advice I could have ever reached. Per his suggestion, I went online, found a lodge nearby and sent the Secretary an email. After reaching out to the lodge, I found out when their meetings were and if there was a dinner before the meeting. Per my Uncle's suggestion, I attended a dinner and met some of the members and talked freely about joining, after a nice meal and fellowship a gentleman approached me with a blank petition.

I eagerly filled it out on the spot and wrote a check for the initiation fee, I watched two gentlemen sign my petition and with a warm handshake sent me on my way. These men would later become my mentors and closest friends. I am forever indebted to these men and my late Uncle for their inspiration and guidance.
