Love Story

Cory & I's love story starts out online on a dating website Plenty of Fish on September 6th, 2011. I don't know how many of you have heard of that site BUT it takes a lot of work shifting through the shit as I like to put it. I must have talked to at least 500 guys (skank much?) I went on a handful of first dates that were all major busts. Now the paranoid freak I am, I always made sure someone knew where I was headed and would text when I got there and when I was on my way home and that I was safe. I had a couple of real creeper dates that I am certainly glad I had back up plans! I dated one guy for a little bit but he turned out to have one major secret of a pot lab going on. Lets just say I couldn't say bye fast enough... Then another man used me and he had a wife I never knew about. That was rough because I don't fly that way and would have dropped him if I have known. For those of you who don't know I am a divorcee. (THANK GOD!) Sometimes you don't learn the lessons your suppose to until everything is said and done gone by, I call them blinders. A little background info if we must, I guess you could say we were high school sweethearts but not really because we had just been friends up until graduation week... That's when the blinder went on and I stayed for 5 years. To be honest I would still probably be trying to make it work if he wasn't the one to finally leave. EVEN though he was the cheater and liar. He was also verbally, emotionally, and mentally abusive. he had a way of twisting things to make it seem like he was never at fault for a thing and that they were not as bad as anyone or myself saw them. wrong buddy, sooo wrong. ANYHOW, flash forward to post divorce after talking to so many men I was on the brink of giving up hope on finding a decent man, well more so one I actually clicked with and met some of my list check points. You know the list every woman has... car, place, job... etc lol Well Cory messaged me on POF and I thought to myself no way this guy would be interested in me! He was in shape and I was not and he was in Army cami's in one of his pictures... My insecurities almost got the best of me. (the ex-hub was USMC) Plus I didn't want to seem like a tag chaser so I was VERY hesitant. I thought to myself hey that's just not fair... give this guy a chance. After talking online and on the phone for a month we finally are able to meet up one night. On October 7th, 2011 My cousin Amanda, My friends Chad & Jeremy, and I meet Cory at the Doghouse Bar & Grill. (Thursday $1 night!!!). First impression... wow he is short, but at least he is an inch taller than me:P 2nd impression he looks much better in person than his photos! (My insides scream there is no way this man will want you). We all go get drinks, and find a place to stand an talk a little bit. Cory happens to see a buddy and says he will be right back. Amanda and I look at each other and say well there go's that! We thought that was his plan B escape route if he didn't digg me lmfao but he came back and remember the question I asked before he darted off and answered it! lmfao talk about a surprised bitch LOL by then I was finished with my drink so we went to get more and he brought me a drink! Now I know for some this isn't a real big deal but let me tell you this... THAT was the 1st time a man ever brought me a drink... EVER in my whole life! 10 points! lol Also he was a beast at pool! 10 more point. He was also extremely FUNNY! 50 points! He had a truck! 10 points lol He has a job, 10 more points! lol Things were looking fantastical! All of a sudden the bar is getting shut down for over occupancy and I get separated from my group, talk about a drunk freaking out LOL Cory helped me pay off my drunk tab and held my hand outside with all the people pushing and being crazy and made sure I found my friends. Everyone decided the night was not yet over so we headed to the waffle house! where we sat, ate (he brought my food too! 20 points!), and talked for hours... I ignored my "HURRY UP" texts from my friends lol but we finally gave in and called it a night. It was all over from there! I found out he was currently separated from his wife (minus 10pts) and living on an ex- gf's couch. (crazy ex-gf I might add, minus 20points) and that he had a son. ( 20 points! since I have PCOS and tried to have kids but couldn't) Even with all that I was still willing to give the man a chance. October 17th, 2011 I gathered up my ovary courage and asked him if he wanted to be my exclusive man. My boyfriend. He said OH... I thought I already was LOL OOOPPPPPSSSSS! Well then its settled :P Today is the day then LOL and so starts the beginning of a beautiful love story, where I learned to love myself more then I ever had, where I gained a best friend, where I found the man of my dreams. He lifts me up and has been my rock though some of the shittiest times of my life (like my father dying right in front of us) I love him more than words could say and it deff hasn't felt like its been a year already. Crazy how time fly's when your having fun:)

 From the night we first met:) (drunkies)
