My pleasure. These are always fun to read.
Now THAT is the way to run a Pinewood Derby. Oh my am I familiar with the "one lane that won't cooperate". LOL! I like having antique car club judges too. You're "pretty good" at this Boy Scout stuff. ((HUGS))
I was at the range, her Glock got a stovepipe. I helped her clear it. She saw my Desert Eagle .50AE and asked if she could try it, it was love at first sight. She even got to shoot the class 3 toys. She's the only woman I know who had more firearms than myself. What a woman. I was doomed from the start. I would never leave her, she would find me (and shoot me). LOL
Getting better each day thanks. ((HUGS))
Hi fatima!
Internet. Oneandonly.com on April 19, 2001. Flew to Manila June 21, 2001 to meet her in person (Not mail order bride by any means). Engaged on her 21st b-day 8-3-01 in Manila. Started immigration process 9-12-01. She LEGALLY entered the US Feb 5th 2002 @ LAX. Married 3-2-02. Gave birth to our son 4-21-02(You do the math).Our 5th wedding anniversary is next March. After 2 positive home pregnancy tests she took a blood test today and I'm pretty sure we are expecting or 2nd child.
She is a permanent resident of the USA and will be taking her US citizenship test this year. So hopefully we'll have another vote to count on!
Did you see this thread?

Just after 9/11 - I was still in shock. Too many funerals in too short a period of time.
I also lost 9 close Navy buddies in the Pentagon IP where all who were at work that day perished. ALL of them.
We're not married yet - but good friends and close buddies and I know that one day, we are going to be together. Forever.
My devotion to him is pure and I'll love him til the day I die. He's like no other I've ever met. There is quite simply no other man who can ever fill my heart and my life the way he does.
He's headed overseas right now. I pray for him every day but after he leaves, it'll prolly be twice a day.
Prayers for the love of your life and the life of your love. Sweet story. I love FReeper romances!
Me 2 .. ;) + all love stories .... *sigh*
Forgot to ping you. See above.
My husband knew my sister first, sitting with her in the lunchroom at school. He liked to playfully aggravate her and bum lunch money off of her. She and her boyfriend thought he and I should meet. He called me and we talked on the phone a few times. We then met in the 300 wing, as it was known, in high school. I was a freshman, 14, and he was a junior, 16. That was 36 years ago. This October will be out 30th anniversary!
I met petronski here on FR. Not sure exactly how we started talking but I kinda figgered my whining about being single would get someone's attention. Squeaky wheel and all that stuff :D
As I headed west and further into the hills conditions were making it nearly impossible to continue my drive home. I pulled off to the shoulder after several fruitless attempts on a steep grade. As I started my journey for the long walk home I encountered the dim glow of light coming from the woods nearby, I ventured off the road and found a car embedded into an old oak. I opened the drivers side door (Not without much effort) and a young woman lay lifeless on the seat. I pulled her from the wreck and found no pulse or heartbeat. I proceeded to perform CPR and within a few minutes she began breathing (Although labored) on her own. Now I was faced with a real dilemma, should I stay and hope someone finds us or leave her behind and go for help? I chose the later first covering her nearly motionless body with my overcoat.
The first home I encountered had an outside light on but the Dodge Caravan I would normally see was missing from the driveway. As I stumbled up the walk I began to question my decision, would their be anyone home? And at this time of night would they even answer the door. I banged franticly on the door until a young girl opened it. I told her of the accident and instructed her to find me a heavy blanket and call 911. I hurried back to the scene and found her still breathing and motionless. I covered her and waited for help to arrive. 15 minutes passed by before I heard to sound of sirens in the distance, she was packed off and whisked away the to local hospital. After being questioned by the police (In a nice warm cruiser) he assured me he would call and let me know her status. The next day I found she was in a coma, she had broken ribs, a collapsed lung, ruptured spleen, internal bleeding and a concussion. The doctors upgraded her condition from critical to serious but stable after a few days following surgery.
I found an article in the local paper about the accident, she was 20 years old, lived in the next town and as it turned out the younger sister of a kid I played Little League ball with years before. she continued to improve eventually regaining consciousness, I went to visit her with her brother, we talked and I reminded her that when we were playing ball she' be running around in her pigtails getting into all kind of mischief. Even now still bruised and swollen from the crash you could tell what a beautiful woman she had become.
Her family (At my request) never divulged who was the one who discovered her on that cold Autumn night, as far as she knew it was just a good Samaritan who wanted to be left nameless.
Time went on and we started to date, eventually falling in love and becoming engaged. After she accepted my proposal only then did I tell her I was the one who saved her life that eventful night, that was nearly 20 years ago.
We now have two beautiful children.
Great story eh?
Too bad I made it all up.
Except the part about the kids. ;-D
I went out today ~ clear, cold and ice in the shady areas.
When did you get married?
:)Thanks cyborg.
