Once upon a time, in the vast expanse of the digital world, two hearts found each other amidst the sea of profiles on Match.com. Cindy, a single mother of twin girls with a passion for helping others, decided to take a chance on online dating, hoping to find someone who shared her zest for life. Meanwhile, Nick, biologist with a love for the outdoors, was also seeking companionship on the same platform. Our paths crossed one fateful evening when Nick stumbled upon Cindy’s (my) profile, intrigued by my charming smile and shared interests. With a nervous yet hopeful heart, he sent me a message, initiating a conversation that would change our lives forever. As we exchanged messages, we discovered countless similarities and shared experiences, each conversation deepening our connection. Soon, we set a meeting to meet in person. Our first date was at a Teazers in River Park nestled in a little corner of the tea shop, where we laughed, shared stories, and bonded over our mutual love for hiking and Kendrick Lamar. Time seemed to stand still as we were lost in each other's company, realizing we had found something truly special. From that moment on, Nick and I embarked on a journey of love and adventure together, exploring new places, creating cherished memories, and supporting each other through life's ups and downs. During this time, Nick also became a father to my beautiful girls. Nick is an amazing man and a wonderful role model, and the twins let me know every day how blessed they are to call him dad. Years later, as we pulled into Casa De Fruta, Nick shared that he had never road the train. It was there hand in hand beneath a breathtaking sunset at Casa De Chu Chu, Nick started reflecting on our journey and how he felt grateful for the serendipitous moment that brought us together on Match.com. For in each other, we had found not only love but also a lifelong partner. Together we will continue to share our dreams and aspirations.
