1.In Canada we don't have states, we have provinces. I live and always have lived in Vancouver BC. I've lived in two different towns though. One until I was 6 and the other I still live in.
2. My first pet was a black lab named Barney. He developed stomach cancer and passed away when I was in grade 2.
3. I met my husband while working at a liquor store. He made friends with one of the guys I was working with and he got a job through him. I still remember the first day I met him. I walked into the back staff room drinking my Starbucks and they introduced me to him.. I heard his English accent and drooled alittle bit

1. Born and raised in KS. I moved to OK in Jan of '13 because it is where my DH is employed in their family company. We will be moving back to KS as soon as our house here sells!
2. A golden retriever named Ginger. She was my favorite. We had her for 15 years before she passed away. She had terrible arthritis and would lick her legs constantly so she had to wear a cone for the last 2.5 years of life so we always call her cone head. She would run into everything with that thing!
3. We "met" twice. Once on NYE '11, I went to his house with my then boyfriend for a party. I didn't know who he was and he didn't know who I was. Everyone was hammered but me and his house was a wreck so I started to clean up his kitchen and he came in and said "who the F are you and why are you cleaning my kitchen?" I said "I'm blondie, and it's a mess." He said "Okay, well stop." I didn't think I'd see him again after that lol..
We ended up then about 5 months later being out at the same bar at the same time. He was friends of a lot of my friends that I hung out with, we were just in two different friend groups. It wasn't until a couple weeks into us dating until I went to his house and put two and two together that we'd met before and he had yelled at me.
1. What state did you grow up in? When did you move away? CA and am still in CA same area of Northern California. We have a long term family vision that includes Winter and Spring in Hawaii and Summer and Fall in Colorado. Fingers crossed! But we also may just bugger it all and move to Canada. I freakin' love Canada.
2. What was your first pet, and their name? I had a white rabbit named Harvey.
3. How did you meet your SO? I dated his roommate and he was dating my best friend. His roommate was a moron and an alcoholic and I think I was just with him to try to "save him". We broke up in a dramatic explosion, and best friend realized she was only dating my DH because we got to be together all the time. A few months after they broke up DH and I noticed we missed each other and got in touch, started hanging out as friends. I got best friends permission before bringing things to the next level. She gave the all clear and was my MOH when we got married 4 months after we started officially dating. We have been married 10 years this July.
1. What state did you grow up in? When did you move away?
TX gal...moved to OR for 2 years and just recently moved back.
2. What was your first pet, and their name?
Sasha, a cocker spaniel. When she was only 2 yrs old she was hit by a car and we chose to amputate her front left leg instead of putting her down. everyone knew us because we had a 3 legged dog.
3. How did you meet your SO? At work, at the time we were both nurses.
1) I grew up in Michigan, and that is where I currently live. I moved away twice for a bit, both times to Orlando. The first time I was 18 and did an internship at Disney. I was there from January-May. I came back to Michigan, realized that I hated it here, and spent the next year saving up to move back. I moved back down when I was 20 with my best friend, and was there for a year. I realized when I was there that I was very sheltered growing up, and even when I was on my own for the internship. I didn't have any bills then, I didn't have a car, my parents paid for my cell phone bill. My rent came out of my check each week so basically whatever was left was playing money. When I went down and worked at Disney full time, I had taken on all of those payments that I wasn't used to paying, and I was terrible at managing money. So after a year, once our lease on the apartment was up, I decided to move back home and get back on my feet. I had every intention on figuring out how to do it, and then move back down to Florida, but then I met DH and am now stuck here.
2) My first pet was a black lab named Ali. I was 3 I think. I don't really remember much about her. I feel like I remember that she ran away, but my parents tell me that they ended up giving her to another family because she was aggressive towards me.
3) DH and I knew each other in High School. We weren't friends, but we knew of each other. Then a few years later, he ended up taking the job as the GM at the restaurant I worked at. We got to know each other and when we figured out that we wanted to take it to the next step, I quit.

3. I met DH on Eharmony. He didn't put any effort into his appearance because he didn't care that much about our date. Apparently I knocked him off his feet because he took me to dinner the next day and showed up looking much nicer. Good thing I gave him that second chance!

3. Met DH in a bar on New Years in 2008. There was a band playing that night. I was with friends that knew the drummer. And he is friends with the lead singer. That's not how we met.. I just always think it's such a small world that it was a common link with a band that helped us meet.
2. A St Bernard mix named Bernard. My parents were very original. They had to put him to sleep when I was about 9. They told me he ran away. I found out at 18 they had to put him down because he was sick. I cried at 18 about it.

3. How did you meet your SO?
When I was 14 I was working at a pizza place. There was a kid working there that was 17 (I swear I was too mature for 14, so hindsight it sounds gross, but it wasn't). I thought he was cute so we started hanging out. We dated for a month or so. I totally thought his best friend (DH) was wayy cuter and more interesting so we'd talk on AIM or on the phone until the weee hours of the morning. I broke up with the guy I was dating and DH and I dated for like two weeks but didn't ever see each other because we lived a town away and he lost his license to a few speeding tickets. We mutually broke it off. Through the years I'd see him randomly at shows with his band and we'd talk here and there. Right after I graduated high school, we started hanging out more and more. I moved in with him a few months later and the rest is history.
1. Born, raised, and will always stay in CT...damn family, I can't move away from you!!

3. We both worked at Applebee's. I was a server and he was a cook. He used to hook up my tables so I could get fat tips plus I ate for free all the time. He joined the military & we got married a year after we met...we celebrated 10 years the day lo was 1 week old.
