Our Story
I thought it would be appropriate to tell you a little about my relationship, given I’ll likely be talking about my husband and our lives a lot. (The picture is of my wedding ring.)
I met my husband online through our mutual online friend in October 2005. We hit it off right away, falling in love over casual flirting and a lot of science. I was, unfortunately, with someone else at the time, but I knew I wanted B in my life and that we couldn’t be just friends.
He and I officially became a couple not long after we were introduced.
After a year of many emotions, learning to maintain a long distance relationship, phone calls, texts, and video chats, we began planning my departure from the US. We made an agreement that I would fly out there and we would give being together in person a try. If it didn’t work, I would move into the spare room until I could find a place and job of my own.
Thankfully, it worked out fabulously. One night as he was at his computer and I sat on the couch playing on my laptop, he suddenly spun around and got on his knees in front of me. I looked at him, confused, and then he asked me to marry him.
We got married on May 5th of this year.
This is a very much shortened version of events, but I could write pages about the progression of our relationship. More of the details will probably come out in my future posts, anyway.
I would like to invite all readers here to send me the story of your relationship. Be it only how you met or the entire story up until now. Feel free to send it to me either by using the “contact me? button under the site description on the right or by emailing me. I’d like to start posting up a story each Monday.
(Feel free to send me what you send Lyndsey for the contest she has!)
