1. How long have you and your significant other been together?
I met Brian in 2005, so we have been together for 7 years now =)
2. How did you meet? {What's your "love" story?}
It’s kind of a funny story. I was on my way home from work one night. It was around 10:30 at night. I stopped at a gas station, pumped my gas and then went inside to pay. As I was standing there waiting in line, 2 police officers came in. I knew one of them, but didn’t know who the other one was. I talked to the one I knew for just a second and then left. The officer I spoke to never introduced me to the other officer he was with. The next day I went to work where I’m a dispatcher and I told one of my co-workers about this guy I saw last night, but was never introduced. She knew immediately who I was talking about. She told me his name was Brian. I told her that I thought he was really cute! =) A few nights later I was on my way home from work again. I was driving through the next town over from where I work and all of a sudden I saw blue lights behind me. I was sooo mad because I knew that I had to have been speeding. Next thing I knew, the officer aka Brian was at my window. He smiled and said oh, it’s you! I kind of laughed and he told me to slow down and then I went on my way. I couldn’t stop thinking about him! Thennn, the next night at work I noticed that he was working as well. He came down to the office where I work that night to pick up paperwork and we ended up talking for quite a long time. Then we started talking on the phone and emailing. About 2 weeks after officially meeting him I asked him jokingly if he wanted to go on vacation with me to Florida. He said yes without even pausing! =) We indeed went on that trip to Florida and the rest is history! He’s such an amazing guy!!! =)

My little family of 3 is what love means to me. I can't imagine my life without either of them. My life is better with them in it. They are both the loves of my life.
