When we met, Hubby was living in Utah (going to school) and I was living in Washington (also going to school). There was no logical reason for our paths to cross, ever.
We met online.
That's the truth.
However, it's not exciting enough, so we tell stories.
It started one day when we were engaged, and attending a church gathering where most of the folks were the age of Hubby's parents. We knew the internet story would probably freak them out, so when it came up that we'd been in separate states, the inevitable question came up "oh, so how did you meet?!" Hubby, being the fast-thinking mastermind that he is, made up a story on the spot. Since then, it has been our tradition that whenever someone asks how we met, I defer to him, and he makes up a new story, on the spot. Some of the stories have been a whole lot of fun, so I thought I would share them with the world!
Today, I share the one he told that first night...
I was a student/teacher in Washington, but I was in Utah attending a conference at the college where Hubby was a student. He was working as an intern in the library. I came into the library during a break, and asked him if he could show me where to find the books on dating. He intentionally took me to the wrong part of the library, indicated an empty shelf, and then said that all the books were checked out, but would I go out with him instead...
(other stories will follow, I promise!)

That is absolutely hilarious! Very good of you to record these, your kids will love it.
My Uncle L kept putting the wrong horse feed in my Aunt J's car. When she yelled at him, "What's it going to take for you to put the right stuff in my car?!" he replied, "When you go out with me..." Incidentally, she thought she was getting back at him for making their first date a moving party. He had to move her piano down and back up two flights of stairs.
Heh! My dh and I met through the internet also but we make stuff up too. Never quite that exciting though! I was always getting those looks from people when I mentioned the internet but hey - isn't it better than a bar?!
Love it! You should definitely keep track - you can keep looking back at them on anniversaries :)
:o) My hubby and I met online too! We also don't tell anyone. We don't make stuff up though cause I'm not good at it and we probably would mess it up somewhere so we always say we met on a blind date :o)
