I wa in the Navy and we were on a 6 month cruise to the middle east. Turns out that this was just filled with long nights curled up with books, and longer days doing that navy thing...
The day we pull back into Bremerton (Seattle area) A Friend of mine says "Hey, I have this pen pal that lived an hour down south. I am going to meet her, wanna come?"
It turns out that this pen pal also had a friend that she invited along. So, by a chance blind date we met. It took 6 to 7 more trips down to see them before we really got interested in each other. In fact my friend was more intested in the pan pal's friend that he was the actual pen pal. I do have to admit that out of the two I like the Friend better as well.
After a few dates I told him I was interested in dating the "Friend" and he said "yeah .. that's cool I have this girl up north im courting" .
well.. 4 months after meeting, The "Friend" and I were married.
Needless to say , it has been 12 wonderful years, over 20 jobs, 4 kids, 3 dogs, 7 cats, 3 fish, 2 birds, 1 rabbit and 1 sugar-glider later .. we're still deeply in love.
hope this gives inspiration to all those "love at firt sight doesnt exist" folks.. because I never considered marriage till I met The misses.
