by the way, for all fans of how i met your mother. the new season starts on monday sept 21st!! im exited. me and my boyfriend LOVE this show :)
I was visiting my cousin, I lived 2 hours away. And RJ came over to talk to my cousin about something. I'm very shy and just sat there listening to them talk guy stuff. A few minutes later, I get up to walk into another room and RJ says, Wow, aren't you stuck-up? WTH? I didn't even know him, he didn't know me! I later learned it's his nature to "mess" with people!
The very next day a blue Toyota pick-up pulls up into my cousins driveway, it was RJ. My cousin picks me up, throws me over his shoulder, carries me out to the pickup, throws me in and locks the door. And RJ drives off! Isn't that a form of kidnapping?!?!?!
We started dating about a month later, on March 21st, 1997 and we have been together ever since! If it weren't for the "kidnapping" I might have missed out on so many wonderful things. I can't imagine my life without him! He's a wonderful husband and a fantastic daddy. The kids and I are so lucky to have him.
I met my husband on the computer actually almost 14 years ago. We started dating and then within a month he moved out to Wa to be with me and 3 months later we moved back to Mi. We been together since had two wonderful daughter and actually got married in 2006 on his brother's birthday lol
She was there wen I lost a very close loved one we been through a lot together from preschool to elementary and high school even when she was away for a year out of the US we still kept in touch by phone calls and emails! She's been there for me when I was down and then again when I was happy! We get together as often as we can and now share our date stories of how crazy it is to date and find someone good enough for us ....
'Our friendship has survived those fights and it continues to grow as we do I'll follow her anywhere and always keep an eye out for my honorary nephew
Her friendship has meant the world to me guys come and go but friends are really there through it all is a great way of describing out relationship
So one thing led to another and all
and we tied the know lol
So, the story of "How I Met Your Father" started when my two best friends both left me to go off to college up north. During their 2nd & 3rd years (one was a year behind the other), I went up north for the weekend, and we wound up at one friend's roommate's boyfriends apartment for a party.
We were all playing a drinking game called Presidents & holes, where your order in the lineup is determined by how quickly you ran out of cards the last time around.
Nick came in late, didn't know the rules (each round, the new President makes up a new rule, something sure to get you caught, and make you drink more- such as no swearing, no using someone's name, no ordering someone below you to drink, etc), and was quickly downing beers to catch up on the rules.
By the end of the night, he was kind of creeping me out, to be honest. He was touchy feely on my arms and back, and I was like, "Nope, gotta go."
Two weeks later, I went back up for a weekend break, and we hit it off a LOT better. From there on out, it was a series of late night drives back and forth to accommodate our work schedules, before I finally moved up there after Christmas. We've been together ever since!
I met my husband in a 3-2 bar. My Mom was a bartender & I would go to the bar once in awhile (never to drink) and hang out because I was bored. I would play dates, the jukebox & even cribbage if my Mom had the patience. Anyways, my husband used to be a drinker & I met him there, we would talk for a long time.
After awhile we ended up at the same job together, that is when we started seeing each other.
The summer after high school I was dating my "dream guy" that I had been crushing on since I was 13. My cousin knew we were together, but was constantly inviting me to her church to meet the pastor's son--he made her wedding cake and she was convinced we would make a good couple.
Eventually I became single so I did finally go to church with my cousin. We were sitting in Sunday School and the most good looking guy I had ever seen walked in. He stared at me the whole time, but never spoke one word to me! During church when the choir was singing, my cousin pointed out a voice that you could hear through the others, and said that voice (the pastor) would be my future father-in-law. I just rolled my eyes at her.
Just over a year later, the pastor married us and became my father-in-law! My husband also made our wedding cake. :)
Last week we celebrated our 4th anniversary and we have two handsome little boys.
we went out to a movie and that was it.
Now we are married and two kids later..........................
His mother always knew that we would make a good couple and she knew he liked me, so she always told him that he should ask me out and he always brushed it off.
By the time we hit our junior year, we had been good friends for quite a while and he was one of my closest friends (we had a group of 4 friends....three boys and then me). I still had the biggest crush on him and I thought he liked me, but he never made any moves, so I got tired of waiting and went out with another guy.
Needless to say, that relationship didn't last more than two months before we broke up, but it was enough to make Jake really jealous. I finally decided I didn't have anything to lose, so I called HIM and asked him to the movies at the beginning of our senior year. :) He chose the movie, of course. Beowolf in 3D.
The rest is history, I guess. We're still the best of friends and I still can't stand Beowolf, whether it's in 3D or not! LOL.
he's always been around...he got together with my first husbands 2nd wife after they divorced so he was around with her a lot to still see the kids...
strange circle of events....when my 3rd husband was gone he started coming over more and more and finally got up the nerve to tell me he wanted to be with me.
That summer we both had jobs that worked 24/7. Whoever had the weekend off would trade for the week day shifts off for the other. He'd drive the 250+ miles and stay with my parents overnight. He had an old car covered with stickers that I didn't trust to even take us around my town, but he made it each week.
We got married at the end of the following summer.
I love this show...
"gentleman " to my right who turned out to be married..his wife was seated next to him on HIS right...they were cruising for a third person to take home for some adult fun,I imagine..
across the bar was this handsome fellow who ,after watching the comedy unfold as I told the couple where to get off (no pun intended) stepped in and I ended up in his arms and still am..19 years later
