How we met...(continued)

I had to sign up for the site Christianmingle.com to even start to talk with Amber. Once I was signed up I started to email her. She was online at the same time so we used there instant messenger on the site to start talking. At first we both were trying to figure out how to work it but once we got it down we were chatting away. That's what I found out about Amber right from that moment was she was very easy to talk to, she was full of conversation.  After a few hours of chatting we each logged out and went our separate ways.

What followed in the next few weeks was some great convos and really getting to know each other. From the get go I knew she loved God and that was a big plus for me. As we kept emailing and chatting with each other we started to flirt with each other. She would always say things that would make me smile/laugh.(She still does to this day!) After about 5-6 weeks chatting on the site, I suggest to her that we meet in person. Not so much of a date, but just to see each other face to face. She said there was a nice Mexican restraunt up where she lived. I agreed and the date was set for May 2nd.

May 2nd came around and I found myself in the company of a very bright and beautiful young woman. I went to go pick her up at her house in a rental car I had used the day before for my event(Harold Lloyd Birthday Bash.) We drove to the Mexican restraunt which was about 20min away. The whole time we were talking about this and that, our likes and dislikes. When we got to the place we were very hungry. I don't remember all of what we spoke about that night, but I do remember Amber always looking me in the eyes and what beautiful eyes she had.

We were very stuffed afterwards and she drove me to a friend of hers farm to show me the huge freezers! They were loaded with meat! She gave some to me to take home for later. That was so very sweet of her. I dropped her back off at her place, got a hug goodnight and off I went! After we had met in person we started talking on the phone more and texting then using the ChristianMingle site.

So that was our first "date". Our first REAL date didn't come until June 3rd when we went to Worlds of Fun. :-) More about that in the next post....
