Garnet's Story
Life
After Wakefield I went to college for a very long, long, long time. When the money ran out (yes I was a professional student), I came home and worked full time at the restaurant (Mr Hero) as a Manager. After a few years in that dead-end job, I went to work for Bell Atlantic (now Verizon) as a outside plant (loop) tech. I have since had promotions and am now a Cable Splicing Technician. I was also involved in the Union, Communication Workers of America, as a Steward and Organizer, but have since stopped being a Steward.
On Feb 2, 2002 at the Carpool in Herndon,near where I work, I was introduced to the most amazing woman I have ever met. I knew when I met her that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with he...Expand for more
r. 2 hours later we had a moment alone and we talked the whole time. She surprised me when she said that she wasn't interested in starting a relationship but that I could kiss her. The rest of the night we were in a constant embrace, we felt like teenagers. We were married on Oct 25, 2003 and moved into a townhouse we bought 2 days before. We are very happy and enjoy making others sick with our public displays of affection. We adopted a little Lab/Hound mix puppy named Jack who is a trip to see, and one month later we got a Hound/Shepard mix named Casey. She was from a rescue and had many problems, but we are working with her.
Last week, May 16th, 2008, we became the owners of a new, larger house in Sterling Va.
