Re: So how'd you meet your spouse?
I had moved to DEN from STL to work on my CFI and my best friend had found a place to live near downtown off of craigslist. She was my neighbor's/best friend's roommate's best friend (yeah! try to sort that one out...) from UCLA. She had come to Denver to hang out for a couple of days and we totally hit it off. I never believed in love at first sight before but I walked in and she was still in her PJs...if that's what you would call them. Short-shorts, white hoodie, and UGG boots!!!! She is sooooo SoCal and I was just floored. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my entire life and she still is. We went out to a party and we had been flirting for a couple of hours and I decided that if I didn't make my move, my life would forever wallow in obscurity and unhappiness. I was making a phone call for my friends to find this party and I stepped into the laundry room for a little silence. She happened to walk by and I said "Psssttt....come here. I want to talk to you for a minute," and I just totally laid one on her. Long story short, I was working for Lakes at the time on the ramp and had travel benefits....so I spent a lot of time on Frontier back and forth to LAX. I ended up moving out there and taking a flight instructing job about two weeks after I got my CFI and I spent most of my time there commuting back and forth on the 405 during rush hour. We broke up on the 4th of July because she didn't think I was ready to be in an adult relationship and I took my job out here in Hawai'i. I heard about two months later that she was engaged to her ex. I have spent the last five months of my life broken hearted and thinking that I could never be happy again. I've also done a lot of growing up.
November 10th - 1:13 a.m. One year and five days after I met her, she called me to apologize. The engagement ended very shortly after it started and mostly because he never changed. We have been talking about her moving out here in a couple of months and hanging out while I get my time together and can interview somewhere back on the mainland. I love this woman more than life itself and I cannot imagine ever being happy without her. I know it seems like everything is moving so fast but I know I have to have her around. I never wanted children before I met her and I am so ready to have an entire litter if she is willing to marry me.
