Dating, Love & Marriage

I never thought that I'd actually meet that special someone when I hit my 30th birthday, then 31st. But then on my 32nd birthday, in May, my "fiancee" threw me a lovely surprise party. We have been happily married now for over 8 years and fast approaching our 9th anniversary.

I met Aaron at work. I had previously been working at a place with an ex-boyfriend who I no longer cared for and who I still had to see everyday. Not fun! Then one day, I got a call from a company who had seen my resume and wanted to interview me. I went on that interview and immediately got the job. The funny thing is, to this day, I still don't know how they got my resume...

When I started my new job, I was paired up with Aaron to train me on how to answer calls and support the software that the company sold. Aaron was sweet and funny and we immediately "clicked". We became friends and then started dating. About 6 weeks after I started working there, the company let me go - stating there wasn't enough work for me. I didn't really care, since I was dating Aaron and I got a job with another software company for more pay within a couple of weeks of being let go.

Now I know there's a lot of people who don't want to date someone from work. I also have conflicting opinions of this practice. But then what's more important to you? A job or potential "love of your life"? Only you can decide that one.
