The second we started talking I was infatuated. He was (and still is) so smart and we had so much in common. As I was walking away from him the first night we met, while in the middle of a busy street I thought to myself, "What if I've just met the man I'm going to marry?" That thought had never crossed my mind before and I still remember that moment very clearly. We've been together four years now and are getting married in December.

Then one day, because we worked at the same place, somehow we actually sat down and really talked to each other. The way it was so natural, how we had a lot of the same viewpoints, and how we really listened to each other made us realize what we had been missing. Then, the hug at the end as he walked me out to my car sealed the deal! We were together for ten years, got married, and our next wedding anniversary will be our seventh.

It had come about so naturally that I hadn't even noticed I'd found the missing half of my life.

I was driving to work on my birthday thinking how nice it would be if he sent me flowers. We'd only been dating a couple of months at that point so I thought it was unlikely. Alas, no flowers at the desk when I arrived at the office. Instead, he dropped by at noon, after a 12 hour shift, to personally deliver my beautiful flowers and wish me a happy birthday before rushing home to grab a couple of hours sleep before starting another 12 hour shift.

He was taking pictures of us on his cell phone while hugging me from behind. I realized he had stopped taking pictures, so I looked over my shoulder at him and saw him making goofy faces. Then I looked down, and in front of us was a little girl in a pink jacket with white furry trim, giggling and giggling away at the big man making silly faces at her. In that moment, my entire dating life split into two categories - "Mr. Future Tiara Chick," and "Everyone Who Was Not Mr. Future Tiara Chick." 4th date, Disneyland, in line for Small World.

(Hey, we do things in the order we wanna do things...) I knew he was the one when I made an obscure reference to something in my childhood and.....I didn't have to explain myself. He knew *immediately* what I was talking about. I had thought I was the only one who remembered or thought that way, and here was this other person, so fun and full of awesome that thought/remembered too! This person who seemed like the other half of me that I didn't know I'd been missing. (Of course, it didn't hurt that he makes me laugh like no one else could, and that was pretty much #1 on my list of 'things i need in a guy'...)

I wanted to go to movies with him, raise kids, romp in bed, bake him cakes, be a power couple, hold his hand and do whatever it takes to keep him. I was 17....we've been together 13 years and married for six. We have 2 kids, live in a dream home abroad, he has a superb job and helps around the house. All said and done, the one thing that I was hooked onto was his kindness....you are right about that. The minute I saw his good looks!

So, my husband's introduction to my family involved walking into a torn-apart, messy home full of sobbing girls and women (the only other male present was my very young cousin), being handed a drink, and forced to watch Robert Mitchum movies and listen to my mother and aunts rant angrily about my father. Somehow, he still wanted to date me afterwards. We'll've been married 7 years this coming summer. Shortly after my husband and I started dating in our late teens, my father moved out.
