One night I was online and went in a chat room to talk to a few friends. I started to talk to a guy and was interested in just chatting to him. We made a date to talk online at 6pm my time and 3pm his time.
Days of chatting together went by, and I gave him my phone number and asked him for his. By then we became good friends and talked every night after work. I would wait for him to come on the buddy list, and when he did I would get so nervous and could not wait until the instant message came.

I finally called him even though he said he was not ready for me to call because he was shy. He got over the shyness and started calling me all the time. I would be his alarm clock and call him up for work and wake him with my voice. When I came home from work, Shane would be on his lunch break and would come home to talk to me online during his lunch. He also sent me candy by overnight mail.
I knew then that we both knew we were becoming more then just friends. It was love we were feeling, and we had not even met yet!
I set a time for us to meet, I felt like I needed to see him face to face and be in his arms, and he felt the same. I set up a fight for me to fly from NY to WA. It was a long flight! After 5 hours the moment came. The plane landed and I was going to meet him my soul mate, my best friend.

I got off the plane and he was standing there waiting for me with roses and candy. He looked even better then I could have imagined. I was in love when I walked up to him. I gave him a big hug, still not believing it. I was in the arms of the man I loved, and it felt like a dream come true.

We then spent time together, went out to dinner and saw the space needle and the sites. All too soon it came time for me to go back home. Shane took me to the airport and came in carried my bags like he did when I met him. We stood at the gate just looking in each other’s eyes, and I kissed him and I said, “I love you.” I kissed him goodbye and saw tears in his eyes, I knew then that Shane loved me too. I felt the connection like I never did before with anyone.

I got back to New York and I continued to talk to him. We talked for hours on the phone and online, we could not get enough of each other until we both thought it would be great if we were together. I then flew a few times after that to WA.

In December, I flew to WA were we went to Ocean Shores. Shane got us a nice hotel. When we got in the room, he got down one knee and gave me a ring and asked me to marry him while putting the ring on my finger! I moved to WA then on Feb. 14, Valentine’s Day. Now we are together, my soul mate and I. I love Shane more then words can ever say, forever and always. Shane is my knight in shining armor, and made all my dreams come true when I fell in love with him.
