Heads Or Tails #55 - Box

***********************************

As hostess of Heads Or Tails, I encourage thinking done outside the box. This post is going to be so outside it's not going to be funny. But then that's the point, right? Hmm.. Maybe.

I wanted to say that Tuesday is the 8 year anniversary of me and hubby meeting!!! For those of you who don't know, we met online in a chat room and hit it off right away. After only two weeks of talking online and a few phone calls, he drove across the state to meet me. (Sept. 9) We went to a park and talked for a while, then went to dinner. (Then we talked a lot more and it was too late for him to drive home and he stayed overnight, but I don't think I'll talk about that.)

We dated for five years before we got married. I think I told him to shit or get off the pot, actually. (Laugh.)

Congratulations for the eight years. I have had such a busy summer that I have not kept up with H or T but as soon as I have the last plum and apple dealt with I plan to be back.

I love how far outside the box you went this week. :) Thanks for sharing this Tuesday.

That's so far outside the box, that I can't even find the box!

Happy anniversary of meeting to you and Mike! September 9 is my dad's birthday, but that has absolutely nothing to do with it. (how's that for out of the box?)

I met my husband online, too, 6 or 7 years ago. We recently celebrated our 3rd anniversary as a married couple. Congrats to you!

Happy anniversary of your 1st meeting!

Well, if you could talk to someone like that, I guess that means you can communicate well and get along.

Happy Anniversary!!

What a sweet story. Even if you had to (sort of) threaten him! Ha ha.

Happy Tuesday, Barb.

Right on! I got more or less badgered into marrying my Poor Hubby. I might tell that story someday.

Happy Anniversary. I think 5 years is ENOUGH to wait for someone. Good for you for speaking up.

Ah … I do my best each week to think ‘outside the box’ for HoTs … and I’m always fascinated to see the varied ideas folks come up with on Tuesdays. Thanks for dropping by mine at Small Reflections. I was away from home all day yesterday so I didn’t get to do any visiting until today … but it’s been fun ;--)
How ‘kewl’ that you met your hubby online!
Hugs and blessings,
