Patrick's Story
Life
I am just your run of the mill guy nowadays. I was never really anything special in school. After High school I enlisted in The United States Marine Corps! SEMPER FI!
I love to do any and all types of woodworking. Anything from simple shelves to elaborate armoires. Jewelry boxes to hand turned bowls and vases.
I am currently living back in the Phoenix area. I live out in the northwest side in a town named "SURPRISE"!
It is a really great town and it is a great place to live and settle down in.
I am married to my first girlfriend that I ever really had. I met her when I first moved to Loveland, Colorado. She was my neighbor from three houses away. I fell for her right away even though we weren't really allowed to date.
I always watched her from afar and was there to take care of her. I watch over her to make sure she stayed out of trouble and I made sure that she was safe as possible at all times.
She had the same feelings for me! She did things for me in the same style.
We had to leave each other when my Dad was transferred to Phoenix the summer before my Senior year. We wrote and all that. Our feelings did not change just grew distant.
I came back to watch all of my friends graduate and to see her before I...Expand for more
shipped off for Marine Corps boot camp.
We wrote letters all during until my letters were returned unopened as I was sent to special training schools and was unable to have or make contact. When I was finally able to contact her again I was not allowed to talk to her because everyone thought that I had blown her off and had hurt her intentionally. She had moved away and I could not locate her.
Over the many years to follow I never gave up my search for her even though I had gone through 2 marriages and many girlfriends.
But fate finally placed us together when her sister found me! HERE OF ALL PLACES! ON CLASSMATES.COM!!! She sent me an email and we started talking. I finally had to ask about where her sister was and got the shock of my lifetime!
She was only living 10 miles away from me at the time. I begged to have her numbers. Her sister gave her my numbers and she sent me a text in which I called back!
We all met for a late lunch that day at Olive Garden and that is as they say is that!
It was not more than 2 weeks later that I had asked her to marry me! We were married less than six months later!
Never give up on love! Never lose faith in what is real and never lose sight in God! You will never be disappointted!!!
