Re: CPW: About your relationship
It'll be 10 years in August! Married for 5. Bananas.
I met my H and when I introduced myself to him (we were neighbors at an apartment complex in college) and instantly this thought came to me "this is the man I'm going to marry". I was FREAKED out when that thought fluttered across my mind but there it was!
A month later I was single and the day after I had broke up with the other guy, my H stopped by with some lemon poppy bread and we started hanging out. Dating started a month later, we were engaged 6 months later, married 7 months after that.
Now, we're coming up on our 6 year wedding anniversary and I wouldn't change a thing. Happy as a clam.
Began trying for a baby January 2012

We met in a game and while it couldn't be love "at first sight" something clicked with our personalities. Within 6 month of talking, webcam, etc, we both felt we needed to meet each other. Everything went fantastic and more travels crossing the Atlantic to see each other happened in the next 3 years while we were trying to keep our distance relationship alive. It was a very tough time for both but we made it. He finally came to live with me (in my country) but things didn't work out job wise, and after a year we decided to (sadly) move to his country. I say sadly because I miss my homeland so much... Now I know we made a wise decision moving, but still miss what I left behind. Looking to the present, we have been 4 years married, we have a precious 2.5 son and another on the way. And...every time I look at him, I get butterflies in my belly
I voted for the crazy roller coaster before it was made official option. DH and I met initially at a softball gam and he barely spoke to me and seemed completely uninterested....I didn't really care - I thought he was cute, but was turned off by the fact that he seemed too shy.
We ended up going on a double date with friends a little over a year later and we had a good time, laughed a lot, but he never asked me on another date (this was right around Christmas 2005). We exchanged phone numbers and chatted maybe once a week but nothing too crazy. He told me in late January that he had met another girl who he wanted to date and wanted to see how things went with her. I appreciated his honesty and we weren't officially dating, so it was a little odd but he said he wanted to be friends.
Anyway, we kept chatting on the phone occasionally and he ended up breaking it off with that girl - we hung out a few times over the next couple months but it never really seemed like "dates", just casual hanging out. Then in late May, my cousin married his best friend and he was best man in the wedding and I was singing in the wedding (destination wedding also at the beach), and we decided to be each other's date to the wedding. We ended up spending a ton of time together down there and kissed for the first time, and have been together ever since (that was May 2006). Got engaged in November of that year and married the following October!

He gives off this kind of trashy redneck vibe & I was having NO part of that relationship wise. Finally, after being around him enough & meeting some of his family I figured out he wasn't at all what I thought he was about.
He "courted" me for a good 7-8months before my opinion changed.
He still comes off a bit white-trashy imo by how he dresses sometimes, but his style & demeanor have changed quite a bit (for the better) after being with me

A few months later he got in a really bad car accident that he shouldn't have survived. The thought of losing him snapped me into reality about how stupid I was being. I told him that he was gonna marry me. We compromised by officially becoming boyfriend and girlfriend. 3 days later I flew to Costa Rica to study abroad for the summer and he still stuck around.

When I got the the hiking place he was already there. He was kneeling next to his truck with his golden retriever in front of him. I started walking towards him and thought to myself he is the one. No idea why I said that but did.
After that hike we hung out every weekend. I finished up my teaching degree in December ( met in January) and ended up moving in w him after graduation.
Met January 2006 engaged 2009 married 2011. Baby due 2014
Funny thing was I knew his brother. We went to the same horse shows when I was a kid. Small world. Lol
