Back in Feb 2008...

I thought it was kind of funny to think back on where we were at in February 2008. DH and I were no where near ready to be getting married at that point - we had only been dating for about 5 months. Our relationship was long distance at the time because I was at a university 3 hours away.

I remember back around that time I was just getting over a pretty horrible case of mono too and having a really hard time being so far away from home. DH came up on Valentine's Day to surprise me and stayed in our dorm for a long weekend. It was the first Valentine's Day I actually got to celebrate with a boyfriend and I was so excited, haha.

What were you doing back then?

Wow, this is actually a little hard to remember!  I actually think that was the last Valentine's day without my DH.  We met just a few month later!  Since then we have spent each of our Valentine days together.

I was a junior in college, in the hardest year of all of them. I was starting my observation hours, and carrying a huge course-load. It was the last semester H and I were in school together, even though I had one more year left. We had been together for 6 years at that point.

I was the president of my fraternity, and preparing for my junior recital in May of that year. 

Good idea, Sam

That was one of the worst times in my life. In December I had a pregnancy scare from just one slip up. In January I was inducted into my sorority. In February we found out my mom had thyroid cancer. I was acting out and drinking heavily. H and I were dating but the pregnancy scare had left us kind of eh and I started dating other people. Those were bad days. Definitely no where near marriage!

I was still dating 'definitely not the one.'  They always say that right before you meet 'the one' you date someone who is DEFINITELY NOT THE ONE.  Well, at this point I was becoming less and less interested in him, and focusing more on the fact that I only had a short amount of time left with my best friends before we all graduated.

I think at this point Rocky and I had met, we were in the middle of winter term, and  of our one and only class that we had together.  I was completely oblivious to the fact that he thought I was cute and/or was interested.

Wow.  Thinking back to Feb. 2008 . . .

Entering Time Machine . . .

DH and I were dating.  And had been for about 7 months. I think at that time, I was still in the giddy stage of the relationship. Laughing and talking all the time. We were both still in school.  He had just graduated with his Bachelors and was starting on his Masters.  I was in my last semester of my Bachelors.  And by that time was burnt out on school. I was working as a Student Assistant in a research lab and he was a GRA.  We definitely weren't ready to get married yet.

Hmmm, February 2008.  I  had graduated from my undergrad already, and I decided to wait a year before teaching full time and spent a year doing a non-degree program.  I was living on my own in a tiny apartment, met my future Maid of Honor, and had a great year performing in an orchestra, taking lessons, subbing, and working as a music director for a little country church.  Mr. Right was nowhere in sight (haha, it rhymes!!), but there was a little crush/almost relationship during that time, haha.

Back in February 2008, I was single and hadn't met H yet.  I started my third year at my job and my last grandparent had just passed away.  I was very sad about the loss of my grandpa, but I had a lot to look forward to that year.  I was planning my first cruise, which I took in April of that year, and was already planning for my milestone birthday later in the year.  I was also on a serious diet and exercise program and was losing a lot of weight.  It turned out to be a pretty good year despite the loss of my beloved grandpa.

Finishing my thesis, working on the primary campaign for Obama...the path to meeting Josh started here I was still 6 months a way from meeting him. I was on my self-imposed dating hiatus after a not so great break up the year before. The hiatus lasted until a month before I met Josh. It if so funny how life works out, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

DH and I were dating for a few years at this point, I think 3 or 4 but I am horrible on dates. I was living in my parents guest house, he was living with his parents. In Feb/March he started working for the company he works for now.

We talked a lot about getting married then, but we decided the next step in our relationship would be buying a house. we spent a lot of 2008 looking at houses and getting paperwork together for our pre-approval. The end of 2008, actually the last week, we found our house and it was, and still is perfect.

In Feb 2008, H and I had been dating for almost 4 years.  I was in the spring semester of my first teaching job.  It was just months before I officially made the decision to resign at the end of the year (I was probably going to lose my job anyway to budget cuts) and move to IA to be with Jake.

At that point, I thought that we were ready for marriage and had thought that he may be close to proposing.  I'm glad though that we at waited until we'd lived together for a couple years and well-lived in the same zip code, before deciding to get engaged.  Plus, if he'd proposed then, I would have never gotten to meet all of you lovely ladies!

H and I had been dating for about 9 months.  I just landed an awesome job as a behavioral health policy analyst/lobbyist.  Things were definitely looking up!

In Feb. 2008, H and I had already been dating for 2 years. I was in my last semester of grad. school and lived in NYC so we were still living in 2 different states. That's about all I can remember, feels like forever ago!

Oh man, I am so young compared to all of you!

In February of 2008 I was just finishing up High School. I only had to go from noon until 3 so that was amazing. It turns out that later on I would find out that I went to school with all of my husband's bandmates! I also went to Chicago for a concert the following month, in the middle of the ghetto! It was a frightening experience, but totally awesome. 

In April I went to the same concert as my H, and now that I recall all the facts my friend had pointed out H's friend and so we were basically staring at my future husband all night long haha. Later on in April I got to see my all time favorite band play in a very tiny music store, they did an acoustic set and basically no one knew about it so there were only about 20 people there, it was so intimate and amazing! Then we talked to them and went to their actual concert later that night. We kept running into the band members at the concert it was hilarious, we had such a great night. 

I met my husband in October at a concert, but this was after actually seeing his band play sometime in August (when I had turned 18). There is actually a picture of him singing in my face before we actually officially met.  We officially met on October 11th but wouldn't start dating until the 16th. The weekend I met H I went to a concert with other friends and we actually ended up playing basketball with a bunch of famous musicians. So basically it was the best weekend of my life!

Man I miss going to that many concerts, but I guess we have to grow up at some point! haha

Feels like forever ago!!  In Feb 2008 I was a sophomore in college and had been dating H for almost 3 years.  It was the worst of all four years in school and I was really tired of being long distance.  Things definitely got better after that!

Man! We were living together in NY, and I had just gotten my acceptance letter to UGA. We fought a LOT that spring - I really wanted to make sure he wasn't making a mistake saying he'd stay with me when I moved. I'm so very glad he didn't leave me

I was with H for a month in February 2008 and the rest is a blur we were party people when we first got together haha now its four years later and we're married! WTF lol

roxygrl1429

I was a sophmore in college and H and I had been dating 3 years! We have been together forever! lol. That year my mom was still battling breast cancer. That was a very hard year for me. I was working full time and going to school full time and I had to take care of my mom and take her to every appointment, surgery, chemo EVERYTHING. It was drianing mentally and physically. I would not want to re live that year. But thankfully she has been in remission and is staying healthy!

wicked+faery

hm...i know in April 2008 we took in our cat mocha..as for February...it was mostly spent at work...i had been with JCP for a little over a year at that point & Nayan had only been living with me for about 8 months by then....oh yea he had just gotten his first job down here at a gas station as well.

DH and I were long-distance that that point.  It was my second semester of my chemistry grad program, and I was starting to think about leaving.  That was also about the time that my one friend in the lab announced that she was going to leave and go for a program in Europe.  It took me over a year to finally pull the trigger and leave with my masters.

I know  exactly was I was doing in Feb 2008 especially on feb 7th and 8th 2008. I was in labor with my youngest son.  I was also fighting with my ex about his  name.  I wanted him to be Maddox Isiah and have my last name and my ex wanted him to be his junior. Yeah.... well he won. He wrote it on the papers and had me groggily sign it after i had just given birth.  

I didnt meet my hubby for  18 months after that.

Aww, I like this. Kind of. My story isn't as happy as most of yours. In Feb. 2008 I was engaged to my ex. On the 12th my friend was beat to death by her husband and on the 17th (her funeral) my fiance cheated on me with some little 17 year old because I was acting "too sad". It was not the greatest of months.

I did, however, start dating Matt a couple months later so there's that...

Wow I really had to sit here and think. DH and I have been dating for a little over 2 years. Our relationship was a little rocky. I worked for an awesome company and was quite the wild child. My best friend and I were going out about 4 nights a week. Back then we would go to the bar after work, stay there all night and would sometimes even help clean up at closing time, lol. Those were the days. hahaha

Tim and I had been dating for THREE WHOLE MONTHS!  Haha.  I was still living at home (with my grandparents), going to school, and was working at Stride Rite.

In February 2008, I was a junior in college. My boyfriend at the time came into town for v-day and ended up setting off the smoke alarms (cooking dinner) in the entire apartment complex. This required campus PD & the local FD to come out and confirm that there wasn't a fire. On top of this, I had been to the doctor that morning for an ear infection, it was the worst I'd ever had (the doctor was shocked my ear drum hadn't burst) so the pain was pretty ridiculous with the alarms. I don't really remember much else from that month. lol
