    Chapter Five* (The Ski Trip – Part 1)

    So. After much tribulation we had set time for a “date” to go night skiing. My family lives in an area of the province that receives a LOT of snow and as a result there are several ski hills in the area that employ a good number of people. My parents happened to know a couple that worked at one and they had invited our family to attend a ‘friends & family night’ to go skiing for free! My parents invited me, and I in turn invited the Hubster. After learning about his accident I didn’t want to ask the Hubster to drive up (it was roughly 1.5 hours from…

    Chapter Four* (The Accident)

    After finally cornering the Hubster and exchanging numbers, he had promised to call that Sunday evening. I assumed that he, being a male, would work on man-time and that that meant that I’d hear from him sometime later (around Wednesday). So I decided to go home for the weekend. While I was home I contracted some death-flu-sickness and was sick the whole time. As a result I was still sporting a hot man voice on Sunday when my best friend Bo Bandy picked me up from B Town so that we could travel back to the city together around 7:30pm. On our way home my phone rang. I fully expected…

    Chapter Three* (The First Words)

    So, we finally met. I knew his name, and he could finally put my name in place of the “Lady Bug Girl” which he had been calling me up to that point. (he had wanted to meet me!!) However, things didn’t go quite as smoothly as I hoped. After meeting him late that night, for the next couple of weeks all I could get out of him was a quick smile and a wave. He was so stand-off-ish and I couldn’t figure out why… so I began to wonder if maybe he just wasn’t interested. I saw him nearly every Friday night for 3 – 4 weeks, and the more…

    The Meeting* (Chapter Two)

    I last wrote about the very first time that M and I saw each other. Tonight I’ll tell you how we actually met several weeks later. So. In the weeks that followed after the dance I saw the (future at this point) Hubs around, but as I hadn’t actually met him, and didn’t know any of the people that he associated with, we hadn’t met. Now this is the part of the story where my cousin (Lil G) and M’s best friend (Too Kool) love to take credit for our marriage. You see, in 2002 Too Kool was called to serve a mission in Colorado for two years. As his…

    Chapter One* (Love At First Sight)

    This is the story of how M and I met, fell in love, and were married within 8 months… …and lived happily ever after* Over the past few weeks I’ve had a number of people ask me about “our story”. By that I mean how M and I met, got engaged and were married in 8 months. :) It’s not something that I’ve ever written about in any detail, I don’t think I’ve ever recorded our engagement story on paper. So. After much ado and after some persuasion, I give you… our story. M actually noticed me first. In October of 2004 I was living in Toronto and was loving…
