In 2008 my MOH Sarah suggested that I join eHarmony. Sarah encouraged me to go on and try it out. I responded with, "NO WAY!!" But secretly  I decided I would give it a try.  I am so gratful that I did because I was matched with someone very special..... One night I was checking my matches and my mom was looking over my shoulder and pointed Brad out, "I think hs's cute, what does he have to say?". We clicked on him and read his profile. I liked what he had to say so I didn't delete him. (I had a strict rule that I wanted the guy to make the first move, something about my relationship had to be traditional!) I don't remember how long before he did make contact, but we moved through the process of answering questions and finally were able to exchange email address. My membership to eHarmony was about to expire and I did not have Brads email, he only had mine. A week went by with nothing. I was very disappointed. But then one day there it was!!! An email with his phone number!! (There had been heavy storms with flooding and he has lost power for much of the week.)   I returned the email with my phone number. I got a call from him that night!! I was so nervous to answer I just looked at the phone and watched it ring! Finally right before the VM picked up I answered, we were both nervous but it went well. We went on to talk for about a month. (We went way over my cell phone minutes, setting a record at my local Verizon store:) ) He asked me to meet him for Fourth of July. Our first date was awesome!! We ate lunch at Garfields and went to a carnival, he won me a teddy bear and a goldfish!!!!! We sat on a bench and talked for over an hour and then we watched the fireworks, where we shared our first kiss!!! Since July 4, 2008 we have spent every spare weekend and day off we can. (We live 2 and a half hours apart.) We are so excited to finally start our lives as husband and wife and see each other everyday!!!! :)
