Meeting on-line is a different way of meeting someone at our age. But boy! Are we glad we took that leap. Our first "meet & greet" was over 3 hours long at what is now one of our favorite places ... Winslow's Wine Bar. It was on a stormy night on March 16th and Linda almost didn't go out in the storm. She was worried about getting hail damage on her car. But Jim persisted and talked her into keeping the date.

The first date was to see La Freak at a bar in Arlington. It was fun to take a trip down memory lane with the songs they were performing but we were still able to talk and get to know each other. The second date was to Eddie V's and it was very romantic. When we arrived, they had placed pretty heart confetti on the table. Of course more conversation ensued.

There have been so many more wonderful experiences but of course the moment when Jim proposed was so amazing. Taken totally off guard, Linda couldn't believe it when Jim got down on one knee after asking the waiter to take our picture. This happened in Las Vegas when we went to see Donny Osmond. This was such an wonderful trip and magical experience.

So here we are - engaged and excited for the next chapter in our lives. We want to thank each and every one of you for your encouragement and support. We both feel truly blessed that we found each other.

God it so good!
