Well, how to begin? Does anyone remember the movie in 1999 with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, "You've got mail?" For those who don't remember, it was a movie based on a time when personal computers were hot and America On-Line (AOL) was THE internet service provider to have. Well, my life, in a way emulated that movie.

I bought my first home computer in 1998. This was during a time when I was on my own after a terrible, abusive first marriage. I "worked" on healing myself for 9 yrs before I even thought about dating again. Well, of course I subscribed to AOL and began teaching myself all about the internet. I came across the personal ads and have always got a chuckle out of the things people would write about themselves in order to "woo" someone to date them. As I was reading a few I came upon this profile that sounded too good to be true. When I started reading it, this guy seemed to be speaking from the heart. You can tell the cheesy ones from the fruit-cakes. Well, little did I know this profile was speaking to my heart.

Well, to fast forward a little. It took me a month to get up the nerve to e-mail this guy, because my curiosity was getting the best of me. We began e-mailing, then IMing and after two months we decided to share phone numbers. Dh would e-mail me every night before he went to bed so that I had an e-mail waiting for me every morning. For the next 4 months, we IM'd and called each other and sent pictures, then together decided we wanted to meet. He lived 2 hours north from where I was and he was coming to see me for the first visit. We both knew before he showed up at my front door that we had feelings for each other. Seeing each other and spending the weekend together was magic!

Fast forward, we traveled back and forth to each others house on the weekends for about 6 months, then I left my job of 10 years and moved to where he was. Within the next few months we were engaged and married.

I too feel that I love my hubby more every day. We have the marriage I always dreamed about. I say that God answered my prayers from when I was a little girl. I think I found the last one of the really great men around.

sorry for the short novel
