I was curious. Taylor's dad met his mom while he was on vacation to Hawaii. I guess it's a good way to get started! My MIL thought she'd never fall for a white mainlander, especially a "tourist" but she did. Jenn M. – Thanks for sharing! I was curious. Taylor’s dad met his mom while he was on vacation to Hawaii.

He was with friends and I was with friends and we just went around to a few places around town. He was an electrician working on Starbucks installations in England and was learning some of it here. We were just friends. He went back to England and I was here. I was at a bad point in my life. I had a 3 month old baby I was raising on my own and wasn't looking for a relationship. Just so happens, my baby who didn't sleep all night, kept me to England time, so he and I spent a lot of time on the phone and chatting online. Silly, but we were really good friends. Then finally we decided maybe there was something more to it, and he came out here for the sole purpose of visiting us. We connected immediately and it was truly like having my best friend as my boyfriend. This went on for a while, back and forth where I would go there and he would come here and then one day he proposed in San Francisco and here we are married with 2 kids, and a very trusting relationship. There is Jennifer's life saga wrapped up into a short summary. He was here on vacation and we met by chance.

And why puppy urine has opposed to kitty urine? Hmm ... something I thought I would never ponder. Sally - Isn't it weird how the "ideal" body type has changed so much? I'm sure it was a sign of wealth. More money = more fat. Jen - It was fun. Becky - Phew. Good to know it just wasn't me. Jenn M. - How did you meet your husband? Kathy – Isn’t that gross?

Sally – Isn’t it weird how the “ideal” body type has changed so much? I’m sure it was a sign of wealth. More money = more fat.

Jen – It was fun.

Becky – Phew. Good to know it just wasn’t me.

Jenn M. – How did you meet your husband?

Tue, 02 Dec 2008 02:59:54 +0000 http://blog.mawbooks.com/?p=1603#comment-19474 I like the sound of this. But then again I like shows like Mythbusters and Urban legends: Fact or Fiction. I like hearing factoids and false presumtions about historical figures especially. My husband might like this book as well. He's British and might be interested to hear about his Royals. :) I like the sound of this. But then again I like shows like Mythbusters and Urban legends: Fact or Fiction.
