It is funny how much your mom truly knows about you, Mathew and I can both agree on that when it comes to how we met. Our mom's were childhood friends, went to elementary school together and in the same girl scout troop. Both of them parted ways when Mat's mom moved to Newport Beach and eventually my mom moved to Connecticut with the family. They never really kept in touch until we made the move back to Mission Viejo, CA. My mom who is the party animal decided it would be fun to host an elementary school reunion. She reached out to Jen by chance and it just so happened she lived 3.5 miles from us. It was raining hard the night of the event and Jen almost didn't make it but she decided to go and boy are Mathew and I glad. The night was a success and it just so happened Jen had a 25 year old son and I had just turned 23 at the time. My mom the matchmaker and Jen who just wanted to find Mathew a sweet girl devised a plan to get us together. At this point Mathew and I had both tried online dating briefly which failed and were often annoyed by our moms plans to try and set us up with any possible girl or guy that came along. I had wanted to wait a little while before I jumped into a relationship but my mom really wanted me to give this a try. My mom told Jen to have Mathew send me a message on Facebook, unfortunately I never got it. About five days after the reunion my mom asked me if I had received any friend requests or messages. I said no and thus she fessed up about what her and Jen had concocted. I heard my mom out and gave it a chance, found Mathew on Facebook and we talked for a little and he sweetly asked me on a date to coffee. I knew I was going to like this man because he said 'I hope this doesn't come off creepy but apparently my mom talked to your mom and it was suggested we get to know each other.' I said yes and could not be happier I took that chance to meet him. The rest of our adventure continues just as sweetly as we met...
