How I Met My Military Significant Other:

We met at what we both dub the world's worst Christmas party. We were both drug individually to a house party for Christmas of people who ALL grew up together and went back with one another 20 some years. Both my hubby and I were not from the area and neither of us wanted to be there. I was taken by a coworker/friend who was trying to set me up with her best friend/roommate. We didn't hit it off, but I reluctantly went. James was recently divorced and was taken by his friends to get out of the house. The peeps that I went with disappeared and were socializing while I and another friend of theirs were conspiring on how to get out of there. (Note: they made absolutely no attempts at introducing us and we couldn't follow their growing up tales) James came over and started talking to me. We just kept talking and talking. We eventually went outside in the cold to talk some more (really crammed house) and he gave me his jacket. That was the moment I realized he was a really decent guy!! We kept talking and eventually left to go talk some more. We stayed up until 4 am at a Denny's talking....The rest is history.
