My mate and I met over 10 years ago, on the rodeo circuit.
He worked the arena, and I was a PRCA barrel-racer.....He would always comment on the choice of tack I used on my horses, and we would see each other around.....
A little over three years ago, I went to Israel for what was supposed to be only 3 wks. I saw him briefly before I left, and he gave me his new address and phone number. I told him I'd send him a postcard.
Well, as with ALL military TDY's, our C-5 kept breaking down, so instead of being gone 3 wks, I finally got home over a month later.
I moved out of where I was, and got an apartment. I found his note in my wallet, and called him. We went out that night, and I never actually spent one night in the apartment I rented. *LMAO* I broke the lease, and moved in with him the next day. We have been together ever since, got engaged 1 1/2 yrs ago, and plan to be married this Christmas Eve.
