Stories- How We Met

[nodepositneeded]

Well.....I also have been married for twelve years. I married my drinking buddy. A man named Tony from Duluth, MN. I know one day NDN will come into our life, in person, in Duluth....that will create another story, I'm sure. My husband's family is still there, so I like the idea of having an NDN family there also, or maybe NDN was just drunk when he was running his mouth... Anyway, Tony and I were friends a couple of years before we hooked up. I was a bartender and a shot girl before he was old enough to get thru the front door. His friends would sneak him thru the kitchen....I worked at the hottest night club in town. Selling shots, wearing a thong, bra, and 3 inch heels!!! Action til 4am 7 days a week!!!!! He would meet me at happy hour (when he was old enough) with all of my girlfriends and we would all just talk. I never thought we would date, much less get married...and now he knows ALL of my secrets. If I knew then what I know now, I would have never told him half the stuff I told him!!!! Oh well, good and bad...turns out its all good. I told him if he's going to be married to me he has to learn how to play golf. I love golf!!! I gave him 3 chances to walk away because "I ain't changin' for nobody" I like to drink, gamble, and smoke 420. If you can't handle that then it won't work-just honest. He hates 420, but luvs me. He said I'll drink with you, but if you're going to gamble you have to work and here we are today enjoying life. Golf, poker, horses, the beach, life is GOOD!!!!! Oh yeah..,our 1st movie was Shriek!!!! I love to rock his world and make memories that last a lifetime. That shock-effect is awesome!!!!

Pokerkitty - Grab your husband and head to Duluth June 19-21. It's Grandma's Marathon weekend (if you don't know what that is ask the Mr.). Anyhow, there is a great local band playing Friday & Saturday and it'll be a blast! It's a good excuse to see the in-laws too I suppose.

Lets see My fiancee and I met at work. At the time we worked at SNBL USA which is a biomedical laboratory. I had a girlfriend of 6 years and she had a boyfriend of 6 years. Two weeks after we both started working we started talking and flirting with each other.

One day after work she had given me a ride back to my apartment. I was too nervous to ask her in and plus we still had significant others. About two hours of dropping me off she made some excuse to start a fight with her boyfriend and gave me a call. She came over to the apartment and we have been together ever since. As of today it will be three years and one week.

Yes we moved way to fast in our relationship as she started living with me from the first day she came over. We skipped a thousands steps but it all worked out for the better. Everything happens for a reason.

I met my wife on something called gab line. Most of you are probably too young to remember, but before there was much of an internet, there were a lot of party line things. Not like the ones they advertise on tv that are really phone sex lines, but free party phone lines that people, mostly teenagers, called and if they liked each other exchanged regular phone numbers.

Anyway there were a bunch of people arguing and it was mostly a bunch of racist bull****, and my (now) wife who is black called the people out for being racist assholes. They didn't believe she was black and started calling her "Edina girl" (Edina is a suburb of Minneapolis that at the time was mostly Upper middle class whites) and telling her to go back to her computer. I guess they thought she sounded white. I then asked them how they could tell just by someone's voice. They said they just could. I asked them what I was then. They all said I was black. Which is what I expected, I had a relatively deep voice, and for some reason that makes people think I am black. When I told them I was white, they started yelling and telling me I was lying and that I didn't need to stick up for the "little white girl".

At this point both of us were sick of arguing. I gave her my phone number. We talked for the next 13 hours. Talking about everything. By the time we were done we had even talked about how we felt about kids, marriage, pretty much everything. We went on our first date (a total disaster that I'll maybe tell you about another time) a few weeks later. Despite the first date disaster we gave it another chance and have been together pretty much ever since.
