Here's another story that involves a Bob...happens to be my brother in this case.
When I graduated from HS I went to work at a hardware store/pet shop, which happened to be owned by my DB's former in-law's (or OUT-LAW'S in this case
). We were both working there and he was friends with several other people that worked in the shopping center. Two of his friends would always come in and bug me.
A few weeks after I started working there I began dating someone I had gone to school with - a marine stationed at Camp Lejeune. (Vicki, we have something in common). That lasted until early December - too much distance and too much alcohol on his part.
In January I had been out with a friend of mine and stopped into the grocery store (located nest to where I was working) to see one of my DB's friends. He wanted to know what I was doing out at that time of night by myself - told him I was bored and had been riding around with another friend. That opened things up for him. He then said if I was bored that night was I going to be bored the next night, and if I was did I want to go out. So I was bored the next night and we went out.
Finally about a month later my DB realized we were going out. It seems that DH didn't want him to know we were dating since he and his friend had been told by my DB that I was off-limits because I was too young. I was 17 when I started working there and they were older. Little did I know that DH was 10 years older - didn't bother me after I found out.
We got engaged almost 2 years later and married another 1½ years later. In Jan. we will be together 20 years, that's more than ½ my life
. Who would have know that working at a hardware store/pet shop would have me meeting my future DH?!?
Wow, I didn't realize the story is so long.
