To begin this page I guess I should tell you I met my husband online and we chatted for about a year before we ever met in real life. I thought I loved him before we ever met, which was hard for me because he at the time didnt have the same feelings for me. But we chatted and became best friends anyway. Our friendship grew and as it did we wanted to meet each other.We finally met in 1998, Memorial Weekend. I flew to Alaska where he resided.
After I returned back to California, I never knew yet how he felt about me forsure. But I knew forsure I loved him with out a doubt in my mind. We kept talking to each other on the telephone and I couldnt wait for those phone calls daily. After I was home for awhile he told me he was falling in love with me. My heart felt like bursting in a thousand pieces. My dream of having Mike was coming true.
On fourth of July weekend of that year he asked me to move up there with him. I immediately said yes to him. By the time I could get my stuff together I was with Mike on Sept 2, 1998. I had the man I dreamed of having. At least for that time of my life I did.
The middle of November of 1998 he asked me to marry him. As you can bet your sweet britches I hesitated no time to say "YES". We didnt set a date at this time as we still had things we had to close in our past lives.
Christmas went came and went and Mike gave me my engagement ring for Christmas. That is all I wanted for Christmas. Once again he fullfilled my dreams. But we still hadnt set a date at this time either.
January past and February, March, and April flew by and still no date was set. We set down in May and decided to get married August 25th of that year. Then the end of June we decided not to wait any longer and moved our date up to July 3, 1999. That was our big day and we married having a friend marrying us in Alaska.
I felt like I was on top of the world and nothing could bring me down. Yet, to today, we have went thru our share of trials, burdens and troubles but he is still the love of my life and I am very proud to be his wife, his soul mate, his best friend.
Michael I love you with my whole heart and I am so proud of you. You are my everything.
