I was 30, had never been on a date, and had no intention of ever marrying/dating/anything. He started popping up everywhere I went at church and my Mothership started inviting him to lunch every Sunday. I was not pleased. He ninja'd back into my room one Wednesday night at church with an invitation to dinner, which I had planned to decline, but I was surprised and all I could get out was "I'll have to check my schedule." :facepalm: I ended up saying yes, he made a hilarious unintentional joke on our second date (the cherry from his milkshake sank to the bottom, he was digging for it and said "I lost my cherry!" He then turned cherry red. :D ), and we were married ten months later. Even with my thyroid cancer diagnosis, and past and upcoming surgeries and treatments, it's been the best three years of my life.LadyGunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12829570735299446234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-79766555313722101142013-01-29T17:32:51.815-05:002013-01-29T17:32:51.815-05:00I too enjoy Storm's comments, and loving the &...I too enjoy Storm's comments, and loving the "how we met" stories :)<br /><br />—SunflowerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-8036594755611527692013-01-28T14:42:59.773-05:002013-01-28T14:42:59.773-05:00Not a home decor blog, but wanted to share how my ...Not a home decor blog, but wanted to share how my geeky hubby and I met. We both love video games and ended up in the same guild in an iPhone game. Started with just a few chats here and there, then to extremely long talks about everything under the sun, then he flew to meet me in person (because we were living 2 states apart...7 hour drives are no fun--except to see him!), then he moved up here and the rest is history! The game we met through is medieval-themed, so we ended up getting married at the local Renaissance Festival and have been having the time of our lives since! Keep up the hope!

Plus they are having a steampunk workshop in April. They had some awesome old radio valves a while back, and when we went in on Monday they had an art deco-y dressing table, which could so easily be turned into a steampunk desk.

Love how John was so bold. How many dates before your first make-out session on the People Mover at WDW? ;) herh-herh-herh<br /><br />I met my geeky-sexy beast online within a couple weeks of posting my ad. We long-distance dated for two years, then lived together for one year, and then got married just over four years ago. He's absolutely perfect. <br /><br />Now if I could only find a girl just like him so that I could have a best female friend, I'd be set.<br /><br />Would you ever consider putting together a page on Epbot where your fans could find like-minded friends or penpals or just someone to go to conventions with so they wouldn't have to go alone? People who were interested could post a short profile with one photo and contact info. <br /><br />I know you don't need any more work. Just something to think about, though. And, if you need help with it, I'm SO willing to manage a separate mailbox where people can send their ads and photos so I can do a prescreening process to filter out the obvious fakes, etc..., although I can't imagine that being a huge problem on this site.<br /><br />Think of how you'd bring EVEN MORE happiness to the world by helping unite people in friendship and love. From reading the comments on almost every post, I know you have a lot of lonely and misunderstood readers. All they need is someone physically present in their lives who "gets" them. We know you get us, but you're not here-here; you're just in the magic glowing boxes in front of us.<br /><br />Whadya think? <br /><br />KWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-66069824759261163272013-01-22T13:36:17.292-05:002013-01-22T13:36:17.292-05:00http://pinterest.com/saracarl/the-steampunk-home/
