Chris and I have been together for 5 years. I meet Chris through a friend at work. I had recently moved to Mo,and I knew no-one. My co-worker invited me to go to a bonfire, his friends were having that weekend. So I agreed to go. When we got to the bonfire and I was introduced to everyone. Chris walked over to where I was standing and we started talking. We literally talked all night. He asked me for my number and I told him if he wanted that he would have to come find me. Two days later when I got off work I was walking to my car and there he was standing next to my car. I gave him my number and he called me as he was following me back to my apartment to ask me out on a date. And I said yes...5 years later we got engaged. I have 4 children from a previous marriage and we have 2 fur-babies Peter and Lizzie.
