The Story of Us: Part 1

I've been meaning to blog about mine and my husband's story for a while.  So for the next few Fridays, I'm gonna do just that. :)

It was April 2009.  Exam week was upon me, and my final semester of nursing school was staring me in the face.  I was 10 weeks away from my LPN pinning ceremony and starting a relationship was just about the last thing on my mind.

I'd joined a few dating sites about a month before.  I didn't expect to meet anyone, but after much teasing from my dad, I joined.  I did a lot of complaining about the general lack of good Christian guys around, so he suggested I try online.  I didn't have much to lose, so I gave it a shot, thinking nothing would ever come of it, and it would be a funny thing to laugh about later.

April 26th was a Sunday night.  I was relaxing after a weekend of studying for finals before exam week was in full force.  I had my computer open in front of me and the TV on when I suddenly got an email notification.  I had a message on one of those sites I joined.  I laughed a little inside.  Probably another weirdo from a foreign country telling me he was "looking for the right woman" and I "seemed to be the one for him".  Yeah.  Right.

I proceeded to log on to the site, not expecting much, when I found a message from an Army soldier.  He told me he was looking for Christian friends.  Hmm.  Sure...I don't have a problem corresponding with a sweet soldier that I'll probably never meet and just needs a friend.  So I wrote him back.

Stay tuned for part 2... :)
