Mr. Right

This time of year, 14 years ago, my best friend and I went to Hawaii for Spring Break.  Our other girlfriends went to Europe.  We didn't go with them because for whatever reason or another we didn't think our parents would let us, so we "snuck off" to Hawaii where we wouldn't need a passport.  I'm ever so thankful that we didn't join them, cuz if we hadn't, I wouldn't be where I am today...

One of the nights we were in Honolulu, my BFF and I went to a club, and at this club I saw this really cute guy.  He turned out to be a really nice guy.  The first few things I learned were:  (1) he was in the Navy, (2) he grew up in Germany, (3) I'm the same height as his mom, and (4) my birthday is the day before his brother's.  We hung out that night, and the next day, but the following day my BFF and I were going to catch a flight to Kauai.  So, we made plans to meet up again in a few days. 

We hung out right before I had to fly back to Boston, and before you know it Mr. Right was already making plans to visit me in Boston.  My first thought was, "yeah right, that's what they all say"... but sure enough, he stayed true to his word and visited me in just a couple of weeks.  When he visited me we learned more about each other, and I realized that I liked him even more.  We decided to try to have a long distance relationship and we have been happily married for the past 12 years. 

And they say you can't meet Mr. Right at a bar or club.  Well I did!
