a little info

Since i had one friend (Thanks Sonia!!)asking about how DH and i met online, i thought i would explain.
well, it must have been back in 1999 (YES, I'm going to PARTY like it's 1999! lol) when i was living in Michigan but on a babysitting job, for 3 weeks! Good money, but Lord it was lonely! lol so after the kids went to bed, i went online and found myself in chat rooms. i didn't do too much chatting since it was at a time when i had just had my first heart attack about 3 months prior and i was a bit depressed about it all. the happiest times were when the kids were up and i was joyfully busy with them! So mostly i would watch others chatting, hooking up, spamming, and just plain being goofy! every now and then, of course, i would get a little Instant Message box with some pick up line usually there, so mostly they would just get clicked closed and ignored. Then, these two men from the Chicago area started Instant Messaging me but not with the usual horny pick up lines!! lol they were actual gentlemen!! TWO of them, who could imagine that? lol well, that in itself perked up my attitude a bit and pleasantries were exchanged. For some reason, that i cannot even explain, that i was drawn to my future husband! We kept in touch, on the computer and phone and in what was a pretty short time, he was on the road to meet face to face. That was an 8 hr drive for him, ONE WAY! lol Must have been LOVE, huh? lol well, that was all in October and by December, i packed up and my 14 yo DS and i moved in with him. and that was 9 years ago now! Since then we have heard MANY horror stories about hook ups online and feel we have been truly blessed with each other! DH & my DS have become really good friends and rarely has there been a cross word amongst the family! it honestly has been the best thing in my life (meeting him, that is) giving me time to grow and mature, myself (since my first child was born when i was 17).
And it did turn out that the two guys from the Chicago area, knew each and we all got to be GREAT friends! Funny thing was, they lived about 90 miles away from each other and neither knew i was chatting with the other, at the time! But i am a HUGE believer in fate or destiny, whatever you may call it, when you are where you are MEANT to be! things happen for a reason and thankfully this one turned out good. don't think, for a minute, that i don't have horror stories or as others might say, kissed my share of frogs lol but not this time! lol
now i really would not feel right if i didn't let the mommy in me come out at this point and say, have fun in chat rooms, there really are possibilities available, but be safe, be careful and ALWAYS ALWAYS listen to that little voice inside you! some call it a conscience but i call it God. so listen carefully, because He doesn't always speak loudly but He IS ALWAYS there! HUGE HUGS!!!! Have a safe and WONDERFUL Memorial day! and thanks so very much for your visits! i know it's kind of vague but sure hope i answered your curiosity! :D
