Jodi

Mike and Jodi met online in June 2010. Jodi was home sick with the flu and bored so she went online and randomly selected a chat room and started talking to all of the people that frequented the room; including Mike. After a couple of weeks, Mike respectfully asked if he could talk privately to Jodi and she agreed. It turned out Mike was interested in pursuing a relationship with Jodi and she felt the same. From that day forward they would e-mail, instant message, talk on the phone and text every day. They talked for hours; laughing a lot and getting to know each other more and more. The day they met in person (July 11) they were both surprised to discover that there was no awkwardness at all; it was as though they had always known each other and were just as comfortable and talkative with each other in person as they were over the phone. From there their relationship grew; he was out on the road and she kept him company. They found themselves falling more and more for each other. Jodi drove out to see Mike whenever he had a Massachusetts delivery and even had the opportunity to speak to his family over the phone. Mike took a few days off to attend the wedding of John and Renee where Jodi's friends and family just loved him; it was during the course of that weekend that the both of them realized that within the soul of the other they had found their mate. On December 29 Jodi once again drove out to Springfield to meet with Mike (and go on a delivery with him) and it was while they were talking and laughing as they usually did that Mike surprised Jodi by asking for her hand in marriage. She of course said YES!
