Happy B-day zap!!

When I was a Senior in High School my dad bought a motorcycle from this guy and I went with him to pick it up. Well I thought "this guy" was cute and I realized I'd seen him around the school before, he wasn't in school but he was dating a girl there and he'd come to pick her up during lunch. He'd always wait in the hall for her to get done eating and since I didn't eat lunch, I hung out in the hall and talked/flirted with him. A few weeks later he called and asked me out. We started dating in February and got married in June 1980. So it's been 25 years as of June 28th! Wow!! A friend of the girl he was dating accused me of stealing him from her friend for several years afterwards!

 

Met her in a laundromat in 73' - married in 75' - my 18 month old grandson is a kick in the pants

 

I was working road construction in Julesburg, CO. If you look up redneck, bassackwards, or 30 years behind the rest of civilization, Julesburg is in the definition for each.

Anyway, a girl who worked for me kept wanting to set me up with her different friends. I had nearly waist long blonde hair, and played heavy metal guitar, and all her friends liked bull riding hicks. So one day, she comes to me and says she's got two friends who are cousins, that came from Colorado Springs a few years back, and they like rock and long haired guys. I'm very happy about these prospects. So we go to a diner, and I meet one of them. She's cute, nice, but kind of stand offish. When we left, I asked the girl working for me how old that girl is, and she tells me 15. I freaked. I then asked how old her cousin was, and she tells me 18. I'm 22 at the time, so I'm thinking that would be much better.

So, we go to the other cousin's house, and she's just getting out of bed, and her boyfriend is there too. So, as awkward as that is, we still hang out at her apartment for awhile, just talking, and I'm going through her CDs. She's got all the CD's from bands I was listening to at the time, so we talk for awhile, and kind of hit it off, much to her boyfriends dismay.

There is like 20 pages of stuff to write about what transpires in the next 2 weeks after that day, but the jist of it comes down to this. I fall in love with her, she falls for me, and sends her boyfriend packing, we move to Denver, and get married exactly a year from the day that we met. This last August, we celebrated 14 years of marriage. She is so very the love of my life still, and our marriage, while having a rocky year or two about a decade ago, only gets better and better as the years go by. She is my best friend, and that seems to be rare these days.

Nuff said.

 

She stalked me.


Now, if I can just get her to stop telling me all of these stories about how guys are proposing to their girlfriends, I may actually come up with an idea without it being ruined.

 

Happy B-Day ZAP!!!

Met my wife in highschool but she wasnt allowed to date. Bumped into her and my mother inlaw 3 months after I graduated. Where she informed me that she was allowed to date now. Next day I called her she wanted me to come over. SO I did, but had ot go to teh auto store to get parts for my TA. So she went with me. We joke now that our first fdate was at teh auto store and that'shen i knew I had a special woman! So we dated for a month. She didnt like my constant drinking so gave me the unltimatum (sp?) her or the beer. (BTW This was a time where it was a case a a day 7 days a week. Little excessive I'll admit.) Took me 2 weeks to get sober. Got back to her and she was dating someone else. I ran him off and took her back. 4 months later we moved in together, I put her throu her last semester of high school we got married one month before she graduated and is 10 years of union this year.

How I proposed... I had it planned out took her to a nice restaruant. Had the ring in my pocket, well..... I chickened out! I feel bad about it now. But I couldnt get the nerve to drop to one knee in the restaraunt. So I waited until we got to the parking lot. I was very insecure back then. Despite all that she said yes and she has made me the happiest man on earth ever since!

 

I meet my new wife in Tradewinds night club on the NJ shore.. Funny thing is I meet her one night and went off with some little 18 year old hooker. Went back like 2 weeks later and ran into her and just said hi and she walked right past me.. Which pissed me off so I went after her and was like dont you remember me b/c I meet you like 2 weeks ago. She said yeah but you dont remember my name so we made a bet if I was right she get a drink with me. Well 3 yeahs later here we are married.

 

In Church .

 

<---- no ball 'n' chain on me

 

I met my wife while trying to pick up her friend in a club back in 1992...The rest is history

 

yeah; that kinda rings true for me too... I was trying to tap this one girl who unbeknownst to me; was friends with the girl that would one day become my wife. After it was obvious that I wasn't gonna score with girl 1, we went back to beind friends. I asked her to hook me up with her friend- (the girl that would one day become my wife); she didn't.

Almost 6 months later; I got her myself, by accident. My wife accuses our mutual friend, to this day, for wanting to keep me on "stand-by", which is why she never conveyed my interest in her.

 

Blind date...she's been opening my eyes for the past 17 years. I can't believe she loves what she sees in me. Thanks be to God for her.

NIV Proverbs 18:22
He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD.
