For a long time, I never thought I would find someone I wanted to spend my life with. I went through a lot of online dating site failures. When your job and lifestyle do not provide a nice social outlet to meet single men, online dating is an option. I have been on some different sites. You really have to weed through the freaks, weirdos, and guys there for only one reason. Needless to say, I have some pretty funny stories.
After I moved back to FL and before mom got real sick, I decided to get on farmers only.com. I browsed the site and thought this one may be different. After all, I grew up on a farm. Farm kids just have a different outlook on life and work. I wanted someone who shared that with me.
In real life, I'm usually shy around guys I find appealing but here I was more of a risk taker. Every potential man, who I deemed datable, I sent flirts too. One guy sent me a flirt and a message. He was bald (which I loved) and had a nice description. In order for me to respond I had to officially join. I really wanted to read this message so I joined. We chatted for a while, that led to texting and then eventually a first date!!! I was so nervous but excited too. He had goals, was educated, had a good job, and met most of my preliminary requirements. I learned that he had a big heart, 4 kids that he loved, a passion for farming, and a sense of humor I did not see coming but love. As we got to know each other more and more, I realized I could spend my life with him. When dating I believe in being honest and up front. If it doesn't seem like it would last, then end it. But with this guy, I saw potential. He answered all my crazy questions and asked some of his own.
Not only did this relationship start online but it was also long distance. We live 2 hours apart. This was a big test to our relationship yet we made it work. He means so much to me and I have become a better person for knowing him. Now, neither of us our perfect and we both have a past. However, we have learned from our past and we are better for it. We have so many plans for our life together and I am excited. We will be a blended family but I love it! His kids are awesome and we hope to add some more to the mix one day. I never thought I'd meet someone who would fit so well with me and come with 4 precious gifts that I am still getting to know. His kids are pretty amazing and talented. I am so thankful to be a part of their lives, even if it is just a small part. I cannot wait for all the adventures we will have!
RANDOM STUFF:
It's the small things that matter most! Everyone deserves a fresh start. Never give up hope. We only live once. Spend your time wisely with the people you love and forgive them for the times in your lives when they didn't know any better. When you do these things, you open your heart and doors in your life for greatness! Push yourselves out of your comfort zone it is worth it!!! Love overlooks mistakes and hard times! Love looks deep with in a person to the trueness in their heart! All you need is love. Choose to be happy!
