I met my husband when I was in the dorms visiting another guy I was kind of seeing. I was upset because I was having problems w/ school administration (imagine that!), and it was 2 in the afternoon or so. I was screaming and cussing the administrators and he walks into the room holding a beer. I looked up at him and said, "Don't you think it's a little early for that?" He told me it was never too early, but I looked like I needed one myself! The thing w/ the other guy kind of fizzled, but Mike and I remained friends and eventually it turned into something more. It's so funny because we both have so many mutual friends, we should have met way before we actually did. There are 2 or 3 times that we can both recall being at the same place, but like w/in 5 minutes of each other. We both believe we were destined to be together, because if we had met on one of those earlier occasions, we wouldn't have been ready for each other.
It's really funny because he and I were both in marching band in HS. He, however, grew up in NC and I grew up in FL. Well, my marching band competed nationally, as did his, and there were a few competitions where we competed against each other. Since he's only a year older than me, we were both there at the same time - years before we ever met. How funny is that!
Now, if you want to hear how he proposed, that's a completely different story.
