Thursday was our (hubs & I) 14 & 11 Anniversary, but since he
refuses to go to ANY restaurant on a Friday or Saturday (he doesn't like
crowds) we are going to the Outback today to celebrate.
I can't wait we haven't been to the Outback since my birthday in June.
For those (which is probably all) of you who don't know what I mean by
the 14/11 it is 14 years together and 11 years married.
Now many of you may be shocked to learn that not ALL internet romances
end up as weirdo freaks, flakes, or dangerous. Hubs and I met on Yahoo
Personals. He placed an ad on Sept. 12, 2000 and five minutes after the
ad was published I replied to him chatted online for a couple days, than
met a Wendy's to meet in person (you know a public place for safety), we
sat in the restaurant until 10pm when they finally asked us to leave so they
could close. From there we sat in the parking lot in my car until 2am talking.
We each kept saying "I need to get home and in bed have to be to work early"
only for one of to say something and get another topic started.
We talked on the phone constantly after that night, and the following Sunday
he invited me to his place after he took his daughters home. I cooked him one
of my family favorite dishes (Cheesy Mexican Chicken), and we watched a movie
"The Green Mile". the night before (on Saturday) was the last night I stayed in
my own apartment. I had a cat and went home everyday to tend to Mr. Z (his
name was Zoya) also got changes of clothes. After about 3 weeks of that he said
to bring Zoya home with me so that he could meet all the girls (his 2 daughters
and his two female cats).
The rest as they say is history. BEST thing I ever did, it might have taken me 3
times to get it right (for husbands) but I am glad to have my wonderful man.
Ok no more mushy love stuff.
