Modern Love Story

First comes match.com, then comes marriage.

I had just returned from the Philippines and a few friends convinced me that we should all do match.com for a few months. Our rule, however, was that we could not control our own profile. My friends sifted through the guys until Garrett. They eventually gave him my number and after a few texts and phone calls, we met for the first time at Julius Meinl coffee shop. After coffee I tried to throw him in a snow bank. Surprisingly, he asked me on a second date and took me to an Indian restaurant. It was the best meal and I was impressed with his choice. We went on one date after another and got to know each other better and better. Garrett told me he was moving to Seattle 3 months after our first date. We were unsure if we could make the relationship last, but thank the Lord he moved back 1 year later. Our favorite song was "West" by Sleeping at Last which has the line "We'll be Just Fine". That has been a theme of our story. "We'll be just fine I know that we will".
