Luke I think you just helped me realize what is going on. This entire issue I believe comes from the fact that I have a login drop down menu which can be used from ANY page using the index.html "shell" page
By default the "MainController" is on every page and it seems the login functions which I currently have in MainController SHOULD BE in ClientController. The problem is that the way I have the HTML setup, ClientController is LOADED upton hitting a certain route. I have been contemplating moving the login form to its own page. I think doing this will solve my issue. I was already having issues with this set up before but I like the easyness of having a dropdown from anypage as opposed to a seperate page To simplify things, since this is my first angularjs app, I will remove the dropdown Thanks, I think this will solve the issue...I HOPE!
