places we have spent time together that was significat...first date, first vacation, first apartment, etc.
 
Yeah, I like that... it's creative and there's no embarrassment of messing up at a public place on bended knee (ie having bad crawfish and yacking at last moment... that sort of thing). lol

What happened to the last one though? I'm confused... how long had you dated your recent gf before popping the all important question? I remember you breaking up with the ex last year... or so I thought. Damn, I cant keep up with all you guys. Lady killers...
 
hah...yea it was quite some time ago with the ex. but hey thats ok, and i dont care what others think or whatever...ive been living iwth my fiance for 9 months. i dont much figure much will change after 9 months of living together, and wont be married for some time yet either. the mistake i made was not living with my ex first.
 
I always say... live with someone first.. THEN get married. Maybe not exactly old fashioned, but hey.. it works better that way. You never know someone until you live with them.

Mike and I dated for a few years before we tied the knot. I was married before and didn't want to make another mistake. He had been previously married also before I came along as well. I told him that if it worked out after about 3 years, we'd get married. And we did, after that time passed and he went back into the Marines. I decided that wherever he was going to go... I was going to come along for the ride. Whever it lead us. And so..... we've been fighting and making up ever since. lol

I think the military had alot to do with us both rushing into our first marriages. You're lonely, bored, attach to people easily, want someone to be there for you after a long deployment, you're away from family and friends... etc. Thats why most of em end in divorce. It's sad, but hey.. law enforcement and the military has the highest divorce rates. You're always gone and you can be hurt or killed at any time. Some people cant deal with that.
 
True that, I have a huge respect for my mom putting up with all the crap the military has dealt my dad and she's had to deal with. Especially in the begining. So did she know what it was like half way through? I can't imagine knowing what it said and then just being like, "Well, that's awesome, lets keep putting the puzzle together" I would have put it together upside down and then flipped it over. Congrads on the fiance and good luck in the future.
 
Congrats. Happy for ya. Marriage is the best thing ever. Just got married last year and I'm loving it.
