Ok, the story we tell our parents, or what really happened?

Story we tell our parents: I was living in La Crosse, dh went to Fort McCoy for training, and we met at a bar in La Crosse. He always emphasizes that I picked him up, because he saw me work the bar in La Crosse right before I moved, lol, everyone knew me. The story is that I saw him, thought he was cute but didn't recognize him, and I walked right up to him and said, "Hey, what's your name?" I don't know if that makes me sound easy or what?

What really happened: We met online on this website called hotornot.com (No jokes now, lol.) There's a part where you can register to meet people. The site was like $5 a month to send real emails to people (otherwise you got to send cheesy pre-fab notes) so I decided I'd try my luck (I was sick of the guys at work and I hadn't gotten into the bars yet.) I moved in with this lady from work and her family, which was a crazy situation (I shared a bedroom with a neck cranking 11 year old J-Lo lover.) Anyhow, he'd put that he wanted to meet me in June of 2003 (every few days I'd get an email of the people that recently said they'd like to meet me, and if I clicked yes to them, then and ONLY then, were they allowed to email me, which was a part I liked about this website.) So, we exchanged emails, talked on MSN messenger, and then I suddenly wanted to talk to him on the phone, so I asked for his phone number. He was living in Green Bay, and I called him with my calling card (all the while with an 11 year old eavesdropping and begging me to repeat what I'd just said and explain it.) We lost contact after a little while, we never got to the point where we wanted to meet each other, we just thought the other was pretty cool. We lost contact because things got bad with my co-worker, and I moved in with my aunt in the next town over, and I didn't have regular internet access. In October of 2003, I moved out of my aunt's house and into a house that I shared with roommates, and I attained regular internet access. One day in February of 2004 (after Valentine's Day I think) I saw him online on MSN, I was bored, there was no one else to talk to, I remembered that he was a pretty cool guy, and messaged him (He doesn't know that!) He remembered who I was, and we started talking again. He wasn't dating anyone, and I wasn't either. I talked to him about one of the jobs I had at the time, and he was completely ok with it, and non-judgemental (I was a phone sex operator) and that made him all the more appealing (most guys made stupid comments about wanting a free sample, or that I must be good in the sack if people are willing to listen to me on the phone, yadda yadda, you get the picture.) He drove to La Crosse to meet me at the beginning of March (a 4 hour drive! He was worried I wasn't going to show up where we'd arranged to meet, because a girl had done that to him when he drove to Wausau or Manitowoc, which was only about an hour away.) We stayed in a hotel that weekend, and then I went to visit him a few weeks later in Green Bay. (That's a story in and of itself involving trying to plan Greyhound schedules around plane schedules, not a good idea!) He was in North Carolina on my birthday in April, so he came up the first weekend in May to surprise me. I was already planning on moving out to Green Bay on June 20th, but I was fired from my waitressing job on May 8th while he was there, so we decided to just pack me up and go (no reasont to find a job for a month and a half.) After I got to Green Bay, I tried to find a job, and in June I found out I was pregnant (THE shock of my life!) We got married in July in Vegas (NOT a cheesy Vegas wedding, I hate it when people assume/comment on that, especially when they mention that I was pregnant when we got married.)

I later came to find out that after we lost contact, Kevin took me off his contact list on MSN, so if I hadn't sent him a message, NONE of this would have ever happened!

How did you all meet your DH/SO and how long have you been together/married?

I went to a small christian high school with about 30 kids total in the high school. We had one teacher who pretty much taught everything except for a couple classes.. She had a son in the Marine Corps that lived in California. My Junior year he came to my school to talk about Afghanistan (yes i am young). He had just got back from Afghanistan and came in uniform and all. All the girls were oooing and aaaaing over him. Anyway, I ended up getting his AIM screen name one time from a friend, I cant remember how or why but I started talking to him on AIM and then my senior year, he came back here for Christmas break and He promised me and my friend Melissa (my best friend) that he would come watch us sing in this Christmas choir we were in. So he came and afterward we asked if he wanted to go downtown with us to a restaurant and just hang out.. so we went along with another guy friend of ours and we fell in love that very night. We were out with him until like 3 in the morning. He was 22 at the time and I was 17 almost 18 :) and now I am 20 and he is 24 :) We had a long distance relationship for almost a year and got married in November of 2003 (i had just graduated from high school in May of 2003). We got pregnant with my son in December of 2003!! :)
