Met through Cherry Blossoms the FIRST time on September 2nd, 2003. Talked several times between then and January 2004. Didn't really click but we knew we were interested... so we both kept trying to get in touch with the other. Problem is... we are both busy, busy, busy!
Jan-April Richard works 14 hours a day, 7 days a week. So... no communication.
Finally, on May5th 2004, Vangie IMs Richard: "Gotcha!"
Well.. she did. From that point forward some magical force was working for us, because we really knew we were made for each other. Talked every by phone or text for 1-5 hours each day from then until this moment.
Visited her in October (Happy Birthday, Baby!). Asked her if she would have me as her husband. Lo! And Behold! She said "yes". Filing K-1 now (Dec '04)
