Good story-Tivo :)
How did I meet the love of my life?
He managed the first Pizza Hut I ever worked at and I was first on the list to be fired after he took over! But he gave me a chance and I turned out to be a pretty good employee.
Had he known the reaction I had when he actually spoke to me the first time, he may have fired me anyway! You know the phrase, "your heart falls to your feet?" Well believe me it does!
We just celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary back in December.
she found me. i had writtten my ususal semi-sappy, kinda-bitter, self-depricating yet hopeful diatribe concerning the state of my love life. i guess she saw something in there. we wrote some emails and IM'd eachother a few times. then we discovered our shared love of late-night "Frasier" reruns. we would watch them "together" over the computer.
turns out we lived about a mile from eachother. one night at about 4am she invited me over for pancakes. she felt safe knowing i was a cop. we ate our first meal together and i helped her pack for a trip to california later that morning.
she came back a week later and we picked up where we left off. we had both been dating other people, but the need for that soon faded. we moved in together 3 months later. last night we celebrated out first year of being an exclusive couple. we are not married...yet.
we never would have met but for the internet. she is latin. full of vim and vigor as opposed to my off-duty, shy demeanor. she loves to cook, i love to wash dishes. she loves to clean, i love to make a mess. we have 2 "kids"...a chihuahua and a mini-yorkie. i'm 9 years older than her. everyday is a new experience to say the least. we both knew early on that we were done looking but we were too shy to say it first. now we say it everyday.
she is the reason i can sleep at night and the reason i wake up in the morning. i'm an agnostic so i guess i should thank Darwin for her?
