Finding Love

So.... I have a secret. A big one. Like the kind I feel like I should be super embarrassed about.

I met my soon-to-be-husband online.

Oh, the shame!!! Senor Snapdragon is equally embarrassed about this fact, so much so, that I am verboten from telling anyone...except...thousands of bees. ;)

Here's the deal... Like many bachelorettes, I spent the majority of my twenties dating real tools. They might have been hot, or successful, or enormously talented, or why-the-heck-did-I-ever-pick-YOU.... but they weren't love. Never love. Once I hit the age of 26, I was ready to find real love, the kind of love where we hung around all day on the couch watching football and supporting each other through anything and everything - most of all, someone where I felt safe to truly be myself. To me, there is nothing more exhausting than editing everything you want to say because you are afraid your flavor of the moment is going to react negatively or is going to judge you. So.... I signed up for an online matching thing-a-ma-bopper, and two weeks later, my fiance and I found each other. He disabled his account immediately after that... I kept mine going for a few more months. :) But that was really it for me. I knew that this guy was The One.

So, even though my twenties were largely all about dating the wrong guys, I am thankful because now that I've found the right one... I appreciate how hard love can be to find, and if I had to go to the internet to find it, that is A-ok. After all, if I can find Marc Jacobs for half off online, why not a fiance? ;)
