How We Met...

Ever seen "You've Got Mail"? Yep, we met online. Houston Connect, to be exact. Strange as it sounds, the dating scene is not easy. After several years of meeting Mr. Wrong and Mrs. Wrong, we both found ourselves on the world wide web, searching and praying for our soul mate. And as it turned out, God works in mysterious ways, or might we say, he works with technology...

We found ourselves reading about one another and glancing at photographs. We both knew that there had to be common ground in certain areas of our life. Faith. Family. and a few others...

And then of course, we kept chatting online. Everyday we looked forward to chatting and getting to know each other online. Then after awhile, we talked on the phone. Chris invited me to a Crawfish Boil with some friends, but I did not want to go alone to meet, and timing was off. We would have to wait to meet. A week or so would pass, and we kept talking, chatting and finally the day came...

I (Darla) called Chris during a drive home from work to ask him if he wanted to meet. To his surprise, I wanted to meet that evening, and he was game. He helped me find my way home (I was lost)---what a surprise)...and then that evening we met, for the first time, for dinner at Barton Springs. Both very nervous and very excited. The night was perfect. It was love at first sight. We talked so much the waiter kept having to come back over to ask us for our order, and we kept making him come back again and again, we were so busy getting to know each other, and lost in the moment, who felt like eating...

Eventually we did eat, and then went for a short ride on Chris' bike. I remember feeling like the girl in Top Gun. It was awesome. He was amazing.

And so that's how we met....cool hugh!
