We corresponded as friends for two years after meeting each other here on CP. We cheered each other on as we each looked for the "right one" to connect with in the cyber world; since I believed barriers such as location and common sense precluded us from being more than friends.
Eventually we met in real life and the conversation continued. This time with the added benefit of all the senses and how nice those extra senses are. Wowsers!
Being in love is great and having someone love you back is even nicer! We are in love and very much amazed and grateful to have found each other.
If we have any advice to give, it's to get out from behind those computers and arrange some meetings. If there is nobody to meet in your area, plan a meeting elsewhere. "Fiver" is still kicking himself that he didn't arrange to meet in the middle and shorten this process by two years. He just couldn't tell how wonderful I was from the pictures. You really do have to meet me to get the full benefit of my charm. lol!
The folks on CP are excellent people and I have made some true friends here. Meanwhile, we want to say thanks CP for helping us find each other. Dreams can come true!

Hi Melanie and folks at CP!
To add to our story....
Shortly after I last wrote to you, John and I decided that there was no question left in our minds and that we both feel the same ~ incredibly grateful to have found each other at this point in our lives. How wonderful...and amazing! He popped the question and what could I say? Apparently yes... because shortly thereafter I found myself standing in the Holy Cow restaurant (perfect place!!) ........saying "I do!"
And I have pictures to prove it! Its a second marriage for both of us and we both wondered if we would ever find the right one. It's hard to believe the right person might be out there sometimes. This time we hope we have learned from the past and have promised to remind each other to hold each other first and last, forgive quickly, laugh often, and be grateful that we are so blessed in finding each other.

John is funny, interesting, challenging, sensitive, generous of spirit and heart, and intelligent. (He's also tall, handsome, and wealthy beyond my wildest dreams....ok ... two out of three is not bad...you get to guess which two!) His only drawbacks are that he brings me coffee in bed in the mornings, likes to surprise me with a kiss on that spot at the back of my neck (you know the one!) and tells me regularly he thinks I am incredibly beautiful...sigh...but then I guess he can't be perfect....insane perhaps, but I'll keep him until the men with hooks show up. (If they are coming for me, he has promised to hide me...what more can a girl ask for?)

Well enough of my foolishness, thank you once again. Remember when you least expect it, love takes us by surprise!
