Today's assignment is from Janet. Janet wanted to know the story of how we met our significant other/spouse or anyone else who had ever been our significant other/spouse.
Ok well in order to tell my "When we met" i need to preface it with "The first time i saw him" story.
I was a newly married 18 y/o navy wife, stationed in Northern CA and my husband was deployed. I jumped in with both feet, was part of the Wive's Club, active with the Ombudsmen and any other way to embrace military life. Well at one of the first meetings after our husbands left the MP's came to talk about how to be safe home alone. In the back of the room standing looking scary and menacing was the biggest baddest man I have ever seen. He scared the crap out of me. I sure hoped I never had an occasion to need the MP's, if he came to my house in the middle of the night I would scream like a little girl. He was tall, built, all dressed in black and looked like he was just looking for someone to beat up.
Well fast forward a few months and my friend's friend had her home broken into and she had to call the MP's. My friend and i went over to lend support, its what navy wives do....lol. Well low and behold i get there and there is this investigator there talking to the victim. Whew, it wasnt him.....lol. I was standing there trying not to be in the way and i felt a tap on my shoulder "Excuse me". I turned and OMG, there he was.....still just as menacing as before. He went in spoke with the other investigator and i went outside. Shortly there after he came out and was just waiting. He started a conversation with me and in no time we were talking like we had known eachother forever. Beneath the gruff exterior was a sweet guy. It was a good thing we got to know eachother because in the coming months i really needed a friend. He ended up being that and SOOOO much more. He is and always will be the guy that saved his princess.

what a lucky princess. So many have to kiss a frog first...
well you did say you were a newlywed. Perhaps you did?
That is such a great princess story. You were very lucky to have him there as a friend in your time of need and to rescue you. I was so touched by your story. I was also amused by your descriptions. Thanks for sharing. Happy Fun Monday.
I was just plain confused....
Just wanted to let you know about a new giveaway I'm hosting this week for some more great, American made products! Come check it out!

awwww...you left out the part about how y'all make the prettiest babies!
What a lovely story, glad the princess was saved!
Hmm...so now that makes me wonder, the menacing man is now your hubby? And rescued you from a bad situation, I would say?
