I lived in an apt. with my mother, but wasn’t home much. I was busy taking care of a friends kids (5 under the age of 7!) and I cleaned 2 restaurants. I came home to sleep and do laundry. He was my next-door neighbor and I couldn’t stand him. He always played LOUD music, he was in the music business and I thought he was full of it. So, when I would come home it was a choice between the little kid in the other apt. which lucky me, his room was my bedroom wall kicking the wall screaming at the top of his lungs that he didn’t want to go to sleep, or the LOUD THUMP of the bass from the guy next-door… He would never talk to me but my mother would always stop by his apt. and ask what his cat’s name was (Which was named: Cat ) and that if he ever wanted to get rid of the cat she wanted her.

One day Miss Mocha Bean (My cat) escaped outside and I was frantic… I went next-door and asked if he’d seen her. Well, 3 days later she came back and I felt obligated to go tell him she was back since he acted so concerned. That led to Dinner & Movie… Yeah, I thought dinner & a movie. But, No- the TBS Dinner & A Movie, (where they cook something in-between the commercials) he cooked very crunchy Spaghetti with a white sauce. His apt. looked like a 16 year old lived there… posters all over the walls, 12 empty boxes of cereal in the cupboard and lots of condiments. Our first official date was in a studio producing a local rock band’s CD…. About 3 months later I moved in and we were married.
Well, Cat went to live with my mother and was re-named Zazu. Unfortunately, she has passed on but she lived the life with my mother. My mother would cook her breakfast in the morning and she was very spoiled.
Oct. 31st will be 9 years. Now we are both in the music business and LOUD. He is my rock. My VERY best friend. I don’t know how I ever made it through life without him!
Oh… and Little Miss Mocha Bean? She is Daddy’s –Little-Princess- Who –Can -Do-NO-Wrong! She is quite the Daddy’s Girl!

When we did get married, it was required that I resign my position.

Rachel that happened to my mom too! She and my dad had to keep their marriage a secret because back then it was against company policy to have spouses working together. It remained a secret until she couldn't hide that my brother was on the way!

By the way I am LOVING this thread. So many cute, cute stories!!

My roommate was dating a guy called Vincent. Vincent was Warren's roommate! One day my friend phoned their house to talk to Vince, and Warren answered. (He always answers the phone with whacky voices), so she thought she had a wrong number, panicked, and handed me the phone. We talked for about 2 hours, he came to visit the next evening, and we talked for another 4 hours. Two weeks later I went to stay "for the weekend" and never left!

I am loving the way this thread has turned out. Your answers are so cute and romantic! From the looks of the poll I guess we don't need on line dating hook-ups or friends to match us up. We seem to do better on our own! LOL! Keep 'em coming!
