I first met my wife in a restaurant that we both worked at. I was a single father with custody of my two sons. I worked a full time job in a machine shop and part time delivering pizzas a couple nights a week. I also went to real estate school two nights a week to get my license. I was introduced to Kitty by a waitress that worked the middle shift between us. She was separated at the time and I just left a bad marriage a few years earlier so I simply declined saying I wouldn't get involved because she hadn't even filed for divorce. A few weeks later and oddly enough we still haven't met the other waitress came to me and said that she had just filed for divorce would you just make an effort to meet her. I agreed to and the next day when I met her that was it. We have been together ever since.
Just after we started dating I finished Real Estate School and started working part time. At that time Kitty and her X were going to put their house for sale. She asks me to list the house. My first listing, even though times were very similar to today's market, the house sold in about 3 months. Just think of it I sold the house and got the girl. Just like the real estate adds. Oh, and Thanks Marilyn good call.
Nice story ... and as they say, the rest is history!
