Smile How did you meet your spouse or significant other?

Thought I would start this as couples meet in neat and funny ways.

Myself, I meet Rronda on the internet. I was not looking for a relationship at the time. My old boss lived in Tucson and I just moved back to Santa Cruz.

My old boss and old friends in Tucson played Diablo on the internet and we would use ICQ to pass messages back and forth to each other. This gal (handle Jo) messaged me. My buddies told me to beware of any gal with a handle of "JO"

We talked on-line and on the phone for amost a year before she flew out to meet me. we spent a long weekend at the Santa Cruz boardwalk and beach. I flew out for a long week-end to Michigan (my old home state) to meet her son Zach and her brothers. I shortly moved back to Michigan to be with ronda. Well one thing led to another and we got Married in Vegas September 26th 2000 with a bunch of our friends to cheer us on.

So that is my story what is yours?

In college I had friends come over to visit. They wanted to go up to another college to visit a friend we all went to school with.

While I was there, Jenna came home at like 11p looked at us like why are you in my apartment? And went in her room. Then we made her come out and hang out with us. I charmed her :p

We where 8,
she was out having surgery on her eye's (they had to do something with the muscles)
i moved into inver grove heights and was using her math book in school, while she was out for surgery, when she came back we had to share, to find out that she lived around the corner from me, we became good friends
The old man that owned a field across from Amy's parents sold a small portion of it and they started building houses we would go over and play in the little lake and the mud pit that had formed from them digging, we used to get mudy from head to toe! ,

over the years we would drift apart but always seemed to find each other in times of need, after both of us had gotten out of relationships that had been going on for 1-1.5 years and where both a bit troublesome for our mental health , we talked , hung out a lot and eventually started dating.. it was actually july 4th 2005, when we made thing official

we have been together for 6 years now, we have had our ups and downs but every bit of things make us stronger!
We have a awesome 2 year old son Jack together!
i am currently in the process of trying to save up for a ring for her

I used to pester my present wife in high school. She seriously dated an acquaintance of mine that I didn't like very much and once they split, I made my move. 1 year later we were married and now have 2 kids.
