How I Met My Husband

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!
I was getting ready to go to a party the evening of May 4, 2002. I put on my moonstone earrings, a beautiful red top and black pants. I remember feeling very happy — like I was on this cloud all the way to the party. I walked in just in time to see this handsome man about to sing and play a song on his guitar for the group. I was mesmerized and thought to myself, he’s singing this song with such passion and depth, that he must have written it, and if so, I definitely wanted to know him better.
I was clear about what I wanted in a man, both in the non-hidden ingredients and the “hidden ingredients.” I could see and “feel” the chemistry I had for him, but I wanted to make sure the other “hidden ingredients” that I wanted were there, before I would go any further. So, I walked up to him a little while later. Two women were flirting with him, and I said, “Excuse me, but I need to know your birth date!” He smiled, seemed intrigued, and gave me his birth date. I said, “Thank you, I’ll be right back” and walked away. I went over to where I had my book to look up and analyze the hidden ingredients, brought it back, stood next to him and checked out the information. As I was looking at it, I felt the heat of excitement rush through my body. He had everything I could have imagined — and then some! I looked up at him with a look in my eyes like… a gift from heaven!
One of the girls who was flirting with him seemed a little annoyed and said, “Patty, you’re such a flirt, how could any man take you seriously for a relationship?”
I said, “Well, he’d have to be a very secure man who knows I am a playful, one-man woman.”
He said, “Are you taking auditions?”
I said, “Yes I am.”
He said, “Where do I sign up?”
I put out my hand; he signed his name on my palm. We’ve been together ever since, and I can still say he is everything and more than I could have imagined! (I did my work on “Discovering my ideal partner” before I met him however).
