Subject: Been a busy girl

So, I'm catching up...I truly was just thinking of all of you, and realizing how "not-good" I've been about being in touch. It's been a busy year. Things at work went merrily down the tubes -- fortunately, I decided to take a big risk at about the same time. That's right, little miss long-range plan decided to do the whole match.com thing. I still have no idea what possessed me, but I did it! I'll spare you the saga of the BAD dates (one rescue phone call and one dude who told me he wanted to bring a dictionary!...and those are the amusing ones!), and tell you that I'm now a big proponent of such services. Despite all my intentions to the contrary, and despite all my public avowals to the contrary as to what I was "sure" I wanted, I'll marry my soulmate, my best friend, my anchor on July 10. He's another teacher...divorced, and has custody of his three sons, whose ages range from 10-13. (God has no sense of proportion!) As if that weren't crazy enough, since we were both in "not-good" situations at work...we're moving to ALABAMA!!! Now I ask you...what's a Minnesota girl like me doing moving to Birmingham?!?!

Never say never, my friends...and never cease to be surprised by the gifts that come our way!

[> Usually I stick to the Social board but once in a while I venture this way.......and I had to reply to your story! Five months ago tomorrow I had my first date with someone I met on Yahoo personals. Before him I had a couple of good dates, and a couple of lousy dates, but took it all in stride. When I met Darryl everything just clicked. I never thought I'd be the "personals" type of gal, but decided it was worth a shot. Good for you too! We're not at the wedding stage yet, but nothing would make me happier and I know he thinks about it too. You should LOVE Alabama, it's beautiful and very affordable to live there. My aunt is a real estate agent in the Huntsville area, if it would help I can put you in touch with her, just let me know. -- Sorcha, 23:20:09 05/02/04 Sun

[> Michelle!!!! Congratulations Girl!!!! This is so exciting for you. I'm truly thrilled that you have found your soul mate. Keep us up to date with the wedding plans. Good luck in Alabama-that truly is quite a move. Does your man have any dogs to go along with the boys? I know you'll make a great step-mum. Again, congrats-we're really happy for you. -- Keira, 22:19:11 05/03/04 Mon
