Long ago ... okay, fourteen years ago .... in a state far, far away .... okay, California .... I came across a man in an AOL chatroom.
That's sooo last century!
Anyway, we began talking and joking and learning about one another.
Four months later, July 11th, 2000, I flew from California to Ft Lauderdale and met the man who would change my life forever, and for the better. We spent over a week together, and then the next month he flew to California to see me, and four months later I moved to Miami.
This isn't our "official" anniversary, that comes in October, but this is the day that this fabulous ride started .... fourteen years ago, today.
Happy "Anniversary Of The Day We Met In Person," Carlos. Whoosh, that's a mouthful.
Have a great weekend, y'all!

ReplyDeletenice. happy on-line meeting day!
ReplyDeleteYou out lasted AOL! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteDo you think if everything were the same (age, locations, place in life, etc.) but you met on today's social media (scruff or manhunt or ...) would things turned out the same? To be clear, I'm asking your thoughts on the media of then vs now.
I have always loved the story. When it turns 15 wouldn't it be nice if you could legally marry in smallville!!!!! AOL chat room? I haven't heard that term in years.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Mistress Maddie! So many idiots (Pamela Anderson/Sherri Shepherd, etc., e al.) are allowed to marry and divorce ad nauseum and you two can't. UGH!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!! XOXO
