My husband and I went to school together - plus our parents knew each other, they had went to school together too and were friends growing up because their parents were friends with each other. - crazy, huh?
Anyway, I always liked him in school, but I didn't see him much until I got into HighSchool. I was the honor roll student, cheerleader, worked in the office, etc

.....he was the "bad" boy, barely made it through school (even though he is super smart), the cool crowd, etc

.
We started dating probably when I was somewhere in 9th grade (maybe closer to the end) and we have been together since!
At the time of us dating, I just had family pets (like an outdoor farm cat and a cocker spaniel). We didn't get Mojo until three years ago (my answer to another child) and he just LOVES Mojo to death! First, he didn't know what to do with a small, foo-foo dog (what he called him) because he is a big, manly guy that has always had big hunting/sporting labs. Anyway, Mojo melted his heart and they are now inseparatable!
