Thrill of the Slow Speed Chase

I’ve never been good at sales. My brother is quite the schmoozer; not only could he sell ice to eskimos, but they’d name their firstborn after him, and send him a tin of Christmas cookies every year. I know some theorize such skills must run in families, but if so, that particular gene sequence certainly skipped over me entirely. He ( Read more... )

You really can tell a good story!!! I adore “how we met” tales and this one was all that and so much more!!! I’m so glad you shared it with such wonderful attention to detail! Congrats on love and family and creating a life together!!!

Thanks very much ... I was thinking it might be a little too sappy for some folks, but I'm very glad to have made it a recorded part of our family history, and happy it's being well met.

What a nice "meet cute" story ;) it sort of reminds me of how I met my nerd LOL

Oh, neat! I love those stories, especially if they involve nerds... would be happy to read it someday! <3

So I read your entry before going to bed, and I had a dream we were all roommates - and that I was meeting your Minion for the first time. Just thought that was amusing 😂

I almost went a similar direction with my entry this week, but feared people might be tired of my gushing over my husband. Personally, I enjoy entries like this, but I’m a sucker for real life love stories. I’m happy you found your person and that you have a happy little family.

That is amusing! XD ( ... )

Well thank you. Honestly, your husband sounds a lot like me in that regard. Online, I tend to be more social, but in real life, I come off as shy - even though I'm not shy at all. I'm just not one for small talk and have a hard time connecting with people unless we have things in common. So I understand that ( ... )

Awww! It’s sweet reading about how hubby got his nickname and how your friendship blossomed! ❤️

karmasoup March 29 2020, 03:28:58 UTC

Thanks! Very happy to know it's not overly sweet. I like to think of it as a sweet story, too, and I'm thrilled it's being well received! ;-)

What a wonderful story, and it's so nice to hear more of the details behind what led from "this is my roommate" to "this is my husband!"

The two of you have always been one of my favorite love stories, after my own, of course. :)

our cake was a castle with dragons
Whoooo! I want that cake. I need to SEE that cake!

You're so lucky you found each other. ♥

Awwww.... thank you so much, you're so sweet, and too kind! I can't imagine what we could have done to have put us at the top of your short list, but I'm flattered and honored. <3 ( ... )

Oh, what a glorious cake!

If it were me (and I used to make fantasy cakes for the kids' birthdays), I would have used those soft-serve cones as the base for the towers, with waffle cones as the peaked roofs, since both are already helpfully shaped that way and in scale relative to each other. :)
