The meet cute

Alan and I met surfing the interwebs! I asked him a clever and witty question and of course…. He couldn’t resist my charm ;) Soon, we were talking over FaceTime for hours at a time, trying to make up for the 6 hour drive between us. After a few months of talking via FaceTime, calls and text, we finally met in person in Mukilteo Wa. We had an amazing dinner and spent a lot of time walking the piers and getting to know one another even better. Flash forward another few months and a few back and forth trips, and the girls and I moved just a bit closer, to Edmonds Wa. After a year of living an hour and a half a part, enough was enough. We signed a lease! Alan and I have been together for a short few years, but everything he is to me and the girls feels like it should have been forever. Sometimes you end up meeting in the most modern of ways, but it can still feel like an ancient fairy tale.
