Later that evening, I got a call from my friend Kristi telling me that Vic wanted to ask me out and asked if it was ok to give him my phone number (we had an unlisted number). She told me that after I left he looked a bit upset and, when she asked him what was wrong, he said that he had just met someone he wanted to ask out and he was worried he had scared me off with his life story. She assured him it took more than that to scare me off and put us in touch with each other. Between his crazy schedule as a firefighter, our volunteering at the rescue squad, and my working weekends, it was hard to find a night we could both go out so I invited him over for dinner and a movie at my place.
I honestly wasn't looking for a relationship. I was only 6 months out of a long term relationship and just wanted someone to have fun with. The
After he left to go to work the next day, I was hanging out with my friend Kristi. Of course, Kristi wanted all the dirt and, even though there was a lot to tell, the first thing that came out of my mouth was "I'm going to have to be careful with this one." Kristi had to know why. She wanted to know whether she got to laugh her ass off at me or whether she needed to kick some ass for me. I told her that if I wasn't careful I was going to fall hard and fast for Vic because he said all the right things and was everything I wanted in a man. Kristi did what any true friend did and laughed her ass off at me. But, it turned out I was right. Within a month we were planning how to spend our holidays together and we never looked back.
It definitely hasn't been smooth sailing. There have been moments we've driven each other crazy and many moments life has thrown a shit storm at us. But, I can honestly say I am more in love with him now than I was on the day I said "I do."

Hi from the blog hop (ICLW #156)!
I love this love story. It reminds me of my own. Maybe the soulmate is gift God gives us to help us through the hell of infertility!
Awesome story. I've seen quite a few blogs dedicate the A-Z to their significant other. Hmm. Maybe I ought to do the same too. Anyhow, it's a pleasure to meet you via the A-Z Challenge!
Great story! But now you owe us a Vic's backstory sequel. I'm intrigued!
