    Well, after careful deliberation I decided not to be a jerk and simply carry on with Our Story right away. :) As the previous post is directly beneath this one I won’t give you TOO much of an introduction… but for those of you just joining now, this is the story of how The Hubster and I met, fell in love, and were married within 8 months… …and lived happily ever after* Tuesday, March 15th, 2005 (dinner) As the Hubster and I got into his car he didn’t tell me where we were going for dinner… so when he pulled into Swiss Chalet I was pretty happy as it had…
