Lisa and I met the traditional way- on a dating website designed to keep stalkers away from the women. She had to contact me in order for me to talk to her. Lucky for me she did, even though Georgia originally swept the wrong way! Somehow I reappeared.

We messaged back and forth awhile. We began to get to know each other, and I asked if I could give her my number so we could text rather than use the app messaging. She said I could, and so I did.

The next morning, I checked my phone, no texts.

Disappointed she didn’t text me, I thought that was her way of blowing me off. Then I remembered she was at a tennis match for Georgia so she was probably busy.

Later that day, still no text- well that sucks- I really thought she was nice and genuine. I checked my messages on the app again to see if she contacted me there.

This is when I realized I MISTYPED MY NUMBER!!! What an idiot!

Lucky for me when I sent her a message on the app again she believed I wasn’t blowing her off and actually texted me. That led to our first date, where her friend Sandy had Lisa take a picture of my drivers license and send it to her for safety reasons. I’m not sure the picture from my license would have made anyone feel safer but it’s good to have friends that care.

That date was the start of meeting the friendliest, kindest, and funniest person I have ever met. People that know her know exactly what I’m talking about.

I can’t say I’m sorry I met Lisa as late as I did because we both wouldn’t have the awesome kids we have with so much in front of them and for us to experience together. But I can say my life has never been better and I can't wait to spend the rest of it with the love of my life, the soon to be Lisa Olson and we can’t wait to start that with all those that attend on December 14th!!!
