Mine is patient, loving, generous and just right for me.
We met on Match.com. Our first date was on January 1 and we got married a few months later. (No, it wasn't a shotgun wedding.) In the four years we've been together we've adopted a dog (see D below), moved in with my parents, and both changed careers. Who knows what the future holds, but when you're with the right partner, it's always an adventure.
P.S. I'll tell you a secret. I joined Match to communicate with another guy that caught my eye but when he didn't write back I thought "well, let's see who else is available since I paid for this" and that's when I found Mr. Jones. Every now and then he'll say to me "What do you suppose guy #1 is doing now?"
See what the H is up with all the other bloggers on the A2Z Challenge!
Guy #1 does not know what he's missing!
ReplyDeleteHe probably found some nice staid wife who cooks and cleans. We were just never meant to be. LOL
DeleteI love that you met on Match.com!
ReplyDeleteMy brother and one of my best friends met their spouses on Match too. I sound like a commercial.
DeleteThat is so cool. Truly #1's loss.
ReplyDeleteIt still makes me giggle when I think about that...especially when I told my husband that I'd joined to meet someone else.
DeleteThat's great. I picked husband for my H post to. Great minds????
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely!
DeleteThat's awesome:) One thing I've really enjoyed about being part of this blog hop is learning all the FUN stuff about the authors I really enjoy:) Thanks for sharing:)))
ReplyDeleteThanks Rhonda! That's my favorite part of this hop too. To be honest, sometimes I get everyone confused, especially since very few have their real photos up (including me) so learning a bit more personal info (even if it's just whether they have a pet or not) helps me to distinguish the different writers too.
DeleteIs it not fun life just changes and if guy number one would have responded you would be not a long shot as happy as you are now? I believe there is a hidden plan somewhere that makes the things go like they do.
ReplyDeleteI love that people nowadays say the met on a dating site.If I wouldn't have met my sisters best friend I would have used a dating site as well. Only one problem, no dating sites at that time... Marriage counseling bureau's they were called back then. Wonderful post, Celeste.
I think you're right about the hidden plan. Good thing, too since when left to my own devices I don't always do so well.
DeleteWow, you married just a few months later? I got the goosebumps! When you know, you know! Great story!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yep, we just knew and we went for it. We also didn't tell anyone (except my son, the judge and my best friend) that we were getting married when we did (they knew we were engaged). It was fun to call people and say "guess what I did today".
DeleteMaybe #1 guy is actually a big fan of your books and lurking right now with no idea of what he missed out on...
ReplyDeleteStarting dating again is on my Things To Do list' after 'finish degree' and 'complete house purchase' and I will likely be using Match.com or similar. I love that that option is so universally used and available now. I wouldn't fancy trying to pick up a prospective new partner in a singles bar...

ReplyDeleteThat's a funny idea. Maybe he is.
ReplyDeleteOnline dating is quite an adventure. If you want some pointers, let me know.
I love the story of how you met your husband! So sweet.
ReplyDeleteHe's kicking his sorry self for letting a good one get away, that's what he's doing! But it sounds to me like you got the best deal. :) It's always fun to hear how other couples met. I'm glad you found someone who's such a good match for you!
ReplyDeleteAww, I love this! sweet story, thanks for sharing!
