The Story of Us!

Our Story.....



"So, how did you all meet?"

Well, we get asked that a lot!! At first, we were embarrassed to say how we met...we would come up with all kinds of silly stories to tell people and when we'd get confronted with the question, we figured we'd pull from "the inventory" of goofy scenarios.

We never really got the stones to do that though, but we always bashfully would answer "Match.com". It seemed kind of embarrassing, but I can't really pinpoint why. I mean, a lot of people are meeting that way, and it's actually a pretty responsible approach to finding companionship as opposed to drinking a little liquid confidence and trying out your social skills at a bar.

So, yep, that's how it happened. We both signed up on Match.com. He found me, messaged me and I was immediately attracted by his kind note. It was the first one I recieved and the only one I felt compelled to reply to. In the midst of all kinds of unsolicited "winks" that I either had to "wink back" or "say no thank you" it was a very welcome little note, simply saying he liked my answers to my profile and wondered if I wanted to have coffee or call sometime.

So, that's what we did. We met at a Starbucks on Arrowood Road for coffee. I had arranged for babysitting for an hour (including travel time). The meeting lasted like three or four hours. Inseperable ever since.

On our one year anniversary, we went back to that Starbucks and sat at that very same table, and as long as we're in Charlotte, we'll continue to do so.

It did take a while for us to blend our families, but everything obviously clicked.

Now, we are also official spokespeople for Match.com, and we appear in their internet advertisements!!! How exciting!!
