<--- That's her!
Glad to see we're not alone in the internet brigade. eHarmony.com, no fooling. I was a few months off a messy breakup and more recently off a short-lived try at something with a girl I met at a poker game. Seemed like something different, so I gave it a shot. Staci was in TX, getting ready to move to NC, and did the "personality profile" because she had insomnia one night. I guess she decided I was worth the $50.
Our first date was June 3, 2005, at a street festival in Charlotte. She brought two friends as a "safety net", but promptly ditched them! (A good sign, I thought.) We had dinner, walked and talked, and eventually I screwed up the nerve to kiss her. As soon as I did, Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" started blaring from a nearby tent! We laugh about that to this day.
Six months and a day later, I popped the question in front of my Christmas tree. This past August, we got married, and I wouldn't trade married life (or my married wife!) for anything in this world. Don't know how I lucked in to this, but I'm not complaining.
