For the benefit of those joining us in midstream...

I know there are a lot of people reading these posts who are feeling like they missed something..the last time they talked to me I was single, going to school and focusing on being "mom". For your benefit I will try my best to catch you up to speed with the last 3 months (really only 3 months!! wow!)

I have been a reluctant member of Eharmony since late Feb of this year. I hated every minute of it. I complained about the process evey step of the way. When the commercials with the happy couples talking about how it "worked" for them, I would tell the kids, "what I want to know is the number of people who never meet anyone through this site, they don't talk about that statistic!"

EVERY time it came on. They got to the point where they would roll their eyes and just say "OH mom PLEASE STOP!"

On monday July 21st, I had decided to end my connection with eH. I logged in to look at my  profile and check to see how to disable it, when low and behold there was a request for communication from a "Vaughan, from Bismarck" I looked at the photo (it's in this post) and thought. "hmmm, well, he doesn't look like a psycho, I guess I should try to get my money's worth out of this" (honestly)

I answered his first questions and sent 5 of my own. I logged into the computer a few hours later and he had sent 2nd questions, I responded and sent mine, "must haves" and "can't stands" went pretty much the same way. We basically blew through the "guided" communication in about 24 hrs. 

When we began e-mailing each other through eH, I knew there was something different about this man. It was like he "knew" me even though we had never met. The level of compatibility really blew me away. He very gently but persistently kept requesting me to e-mail him outside of Eh. I did. After one week he then asked me to call him. I did. (mostly because I was very curious about his accent) I was so nervous the first time we talked on the phone, I threw up before I called him. (those who know me are laughing, I am anything but nervous normally)

We have been in constant contact since then. We text, e-mail,instant message and spend hours on the phone. I am acting like a 45 year old teenager. I can honestly say I have never felt about anyone the way I feel about this man. 

He is a spirit-filled Christian man, who is kind, thoughtful, artistic, loves music, is just enough of a computer nerd, and has a British accent. IS GOD GOOD OR WHAT? Vaughan is my match.

One other thing-

In my eH profile I told any potential suitors that I was not interested in premarital sex. I have been saving myself for the man I will marry as an example to my children and an act of obedience to my heavenly father. I am happy to state that although we have been together 2 times for weekend visits, this is till true. Vaughan is as committed to this "dream" of mine as I am because of his love for me. (swoon) This is not to say that this decision is always easy...(there is a LOT of chemistry between us) but God's grace is sufficient. I have waited 7 years, so 7 or 8 months more is really not too much to ask. I want all of God's blessing for this new life.
