*~About Jon~*


I meet Jon a few years, before we started dating, at a friend of mine's kid's birthday party. He was her neighbor and she knew his ex wife as well. It was a brief meeting and we had nothing more than casual conversation that day. At the time I was still with my second husband and wasn't there looking for a date.

My friend put quite a bit of energy into telling me all about Jon and how she thought we'd make a perfect couple from then on. I shrugged it off because I was still in far too deep with my failing marriage and didn't need the temptation.

When my marriage finally ended my friend was hot on my trail about Jon. I wasn't too crazy about the blind date thing and had the worries of what it would be like if Jon and I didn't work out. He was after all my friend's neighbor.

After some soul searching and dating a few men who I didn't click with I decided to have my friend give Jon my number. We talked for 2-3 hours our first phone conversation. We both felt a connection we couldn't explain but we didn't let each other in on that fact just yet.

We decided to meet at the mall for our first date. We didn't have any definite plans but we had discussed that we could do dinner, a movie or both. Our main goal for the date was to meet and hang out face to face.

A half hour into us walking around the mall his cell phone rings. It was his sister letting him know their mother was on her way to the hospital. He got off the phone with a torn look on his face. He apologized in a way that showed me he thought I might think he was ditching me. To be honest the thought had never crossed my mind, so it's a good thing he wasn't. lol We walked to our cars; we hugged and I told him to go make sure his mom was ok.

From that point on we talked on the phone daily, spent as much time together as our lives would allow and we had no interest in looking further by dating others. It was almost like neither of us really had a choice and it was just meant to be. We have the same goals, wants and morals in life. Our personalities blend perfectly. We have a lot in common, but enough different to keep it interesting. The best way we can describe it is we love everything about each other and nothing about the other gets on our nerves. We simply fit each other like a glove in every way.

Jon is a wonderful, caring, thoughtful, honest person, and he doesn’t even know just how great he is. I feel very blessed to have him in my life.
