Happy Valentine's: How I Met My Hunny Link Up

Happy Valentine's Day!

I am linking up with Chrissy over at Buzzing with Ms. B to tell you about how me and my "hunny" met.

So here is our story:

I was once a waitress at a karaoke bar.  I was actually dating my manager at the time...yes, a big no no but what are you gonna do.

Clint was working at the tattoo shop that was in the same parking lot as our bar.

He would come in everyday and buy 2 sweet teas to go.

I of course thought he was adorable, but also thought that I was in the best relationship at the time.

So we were friends first.

After I'd get off work, if the shop was still open I would go hang out with him and make fun of the girly girls who were coming in to get piercings or tats and crying, screaming or making other scary noises.

This went on for almost a year...then my current relationship at the time went awry.

I quit got fired from the waitressing job because someone wouldn't stick up for me and the next thing I knew, he was done with me too.

So on to greener pastures.  I started working at another restaurant on the other side of town and would still come and hang out at the tattoo shop on my way home from work.

Here's a picture of us way back when:

P.S. I WISH I were that skinny again!

I think we actually took this the night of his first tattoo on me.

This is on my left wrist

This was around 2006 - fast forward through some added bad relationships and one more tattoo from Clint, and slacking off from hanging out up there to the year 2008.

I went up there again, just to say hi and we started talking.  He needed a place to stay and my room mate just moved out.  I needed the extra money to pay my mortgage, so here comes room mate number 3.  Our room mate situation lasted about 5 months then we decided to start dating.

Next thing I know...I moved back home with mom and dad to help ease their mind about our room mate situation. I stayed with my parents until we were married in March of 2009. We got married the weekend before Spring Break and LUCKILY, I am out of school for Spring Break every year for our anniversary!

We've been together Happily Ever After ever since.
