The Backstory - My former life

   In January 2004 I was in San Antonio Texas attending a two week military school for Air Force Security Forces (i.e. military cops). 
  At the time, I already had one kid and a crappy marriage under my belt and was pretty sure men - and maybe society as a whole - just sucked.
   I went to that school with one other guy from my unit, Scott, who I found pretty annoying but was tethered to because we were sharing a rental car and I didn't know anyone else.
  On the very first day of class, we were assigned seats. Scott and I ended up sitting in the back row of our classroom - a place that was fine with me as I really didn't feel like interacting with anyone anyway - well, because they all probably sucked.
   By the second day, I decided I had to meet some people besides Scott or I would be stuck in dorkville for two weeks - something completely intolerable to me while away from home. Unfortunately, it just wasn't very practical meeting people when you are busy deciding why they are annoying at the same time. However, it was no problem for Scott....
   So Scott said a couple guys wanted to go to dinner and I, having no other options besides staring at the white walls and bad military art of a billeting room - agreed. But not before I noted that anyone who wanted to hang out with Scott, wouldn't be on high on my possible friends list.
   Turns out almost our whole entire class went to a restaurant that night - but just a few of us rode together. We met up on the second floor balcony overlooking the parking lot. I am a girl, so despite the military cop, it was imperative I was pretty much last to be ready. I made my walk down the stairs to meet the guys. I rounded the corner and there he was - HIM.
  Tall, dark hair, military haircut, khaki cargo pants, black skechers, a polo shirt and ugh! smoking!! Figured.
  Turns out he ended up being THE one - and I knew within two weeks time that there was something more - and maybe, just maybe, not everyone sucked.
   Lots of in-between stuff happened then but essentially, he ended up moving to WA from OH. We had our son in November 2005 and after I completing my BA in Education, we were married in August of 2008.
