I realized I didn't tell my story- sleep deprivation- gotta love it!

picture it Sicily,,,,sorry I watched golden girls earlier-

I was working in a bar and DH and a friend came in- yep it really does happen, well his friend got my # for him- he called the next day and since shortly after we been together.

DH had only been seperated from BM(never married) for only a few months but from what he says they had been on/off for a long time, and neither had been committed during the off times, pretty typical I think for the fact that he was 21 when we met.

I guess you never know when or where the right person will come along.

how romantic.....right. Actually, I was dating another fireman and had gone on a run w/the squad (I'm an EMT) and he was just coming back on the department from being gone for a while living in Georgia. he made the run with us, and the rest is history.

I met my husband actually at my front door when I opened it and he came in for a bible study. I said that God would have to drop a man at my feet if he wanted me to be in a relationship or get married again and HE DID!!! He is an awesome husband and I never knew anyone could love another person like he loves me.

DH is my brother's friend and when his EW kicked him out for the soccer coach, I asked my brother if his friend had a new GF. A few weeks later, my brother invited me and my DD and his friend to go out on the lake. My DD and DH went swimming while I hung out on the boat and while they were swimming, my DD told DH that I thought he was cute! Several weeks later, DH called and the rest is history.

I am a real estate broker / mortgage broker and my best friend was an agent that worked for me. She and her husband had gone to a bar one night and he was the new head of security (he had only been in town two weeks). They started talking about real estate at the club and he wanted to try and buy a house for SD and him. So she arranged a meeting the following Monday at my office. We flirted alot, but I was still legally married (although separated for quite awhile). My friend set up another meeting the next day and then called to say she couldn't make it (setting the stage for us). He kissed me that day and we have not been apart ever since. August will be our two year anniversary, and we have been together for three.

Embarrassingly enough, I met my hubby (step-dad to my children) on the internet. 18 months later, we were married.

Not embarrassed one bit (though BM likes to crack jokes about me to SD about that one.)

I was a full time working, 2/3 time college student single mom.

A THEATRE student no less, so that's where any spare time was spent.

When the heck was I gonna meet a man? Ummmm in the theatre???

Yeah right Wink

So I took matters into my own hands and the rest is history (which I have posted many a time so won't go into details now!

But I really don't remember. We're from a small town and we and our families have known one another all our lives. I can tell you that we first became close in study hall my freshman/his senior year of high school.

Thank you all so much- it's really interesting to see how things happen.
Stepwitch- sugar- that made me spit out my soda!
I forgot to mention that I met DH in 97, and we were married in 99, yes together for 11 years as of a few months ago, and I think I adore him even more now than I did back then if thats possible!

I was a truck driver driving all 50 states by myself. A horrible snow storm was hitting the east coast and I was headed for New Jersey. I desided to reroute and drive I95 up the coast in hopes of getting ahead of the storm. Once I made it to Charlotte, NC I got iced in. I stopped at the company terminal for fuel and they wouldn't let me leave till the ice melted.

That night I was sitting inside eating pizza with three other truck drivers and joking around. This one creepy guy kept walk by every few minutes and staring at me (I was the only woman there). I asked him if he wanted pizza and to sit down. I asked three times as he walked by before he did.

He set there for 4 hours not saying a word, then all the other guys desided to go back to their trucks and go to bed. The creepy guy (DH) asked if I would like to go to his truck and talk awhile. I said what the hell but I'm sitting in the driver's seat for a quick exit.

We went back to his truck and talked the rest of the night. At 4am we desided to sleep and I laid down beside him and slept 2 hours. Then when I got up b/c I had to go he said "How will I see you again?" I just laughed and said we could always team drive. I was joking but he was serious.

I had a load to the atate of Washington and we talked everyday almost nonstop on the cell phone {$1300.00 bill}. Then I got back to Georgia for hometime. I cleaned out half the truck and went to Charlotte to pick him up.

We drove together for 3 week and then one night we happened to drive through Las Vegas and got married. I had never met his family and kids and he had never met mine family. We met Feb. 17 and were married Mar. 30. We've now been together 5 years.

I met my fiance in middle school. We were in the same home room in seventh grade. We were very close all through school talking for hours every night on the phone, but never actually dated. We almost dated...I still tease him about driving me home one night and being afraid to hold my hand for the first time when we were in sophmore year. Then we both got married and had kids young, had our spouses cheat on us...and reconnected on myspace, we had a lot to talk about as our life stories were very similar. After both of us had left our spouses we hung out a few times, fell in love, I moved to Arizona fro mOregon for him...and here we are.

Yes! It's true! I met my guy through an online game. We talked everyday (pretty much constantly) for about 6 months. Then he flew me from Ohio to California to spend Thanksgiving week with him. It was the best 5 days of my life! A month later, I packed up and moved in with him. Best move I've ever made!! (minus all the bull**** from the wicked ex of the west) Now we're coming up on 2 years together and he still seems to find a way to make me love him more and more by the day. Smile

i met him at my sisters house. i was working on her computer and he came in not knowing that i was there and so was my sister and bil but he only noticed me. we got introduced and that was it for that day. i was dating someone else at the time but i didnt care i wanted him now so that same night my sister calls and tells me that he was interested in me and that made my night.

we got to know each other a couple of days later at my sister's brother in law;s paintball field. they arranged a game so we could meet and we did by shooting each other. in a couple of days we became an item and have been together ever since. i still remember he shot me on my shoulder he says it was a love shot...whatever it hurt like a bitch..

I thought shooting each other was the end of a relationship? I guess you my dear are an over achiever! thats funny - great story for your kids someday.
