Englewood, FL
The following is an excerpt from the piece
I posted last year on our anniversary. (December 10, 2012)
Monte and I celebrated our anniversary today. We were destined to meet. The reason I believe we were fated to be
together is because of all the events that had to happen for us to meet. I am originally from New York and relocated
to Florida for a job. Monte also moved
from Illinois to Florida for a job. We
were both single and decided to give Match.Com a chance at the same time. When I first enrolled in the on-line dating
service I had limited my parameters in distance to 3o miles and the age of the
male I was seeking to below 50. I met
some real interesting men but none of them was “the” one. I was ready to give up but decided to give it
one more try and widened the distance parameter to 60 miles from my location
and the age of the male to 55.
When I hit “enter” the first profile that popped up was
Monte’s. I got a real sense of the type
of person he was when I read his remarks.
I e-mailed him. He called
me. We made a date to meet and I knew
after the first encounter that I was in “trouble”.
That fateful meeting was ten years ago. It was my idea to sell almost everything we
own to live a nomadic life and I couldn’t have asked for a better partner to do
it with than Monte.
My Mom and Dad took us out to dinner to celebrate
this special anniversary.
