Alex and I met on the Internet, in September of 1998. We found nearly instant magic between us, and we talked and emailed constantly. In November of 1998, Alex drove 4-1/2 hours to see me, and surprised me with flowers, chocolates, and a beautiful poem.

We dated for five months, and we both were sure we'd found true love, our soulmates, and the person we each wanted to share the rest of our lives with. In March of 1999, I moved from the San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara, CA to be with Alex.

We've been together ever since, and while it's not always been easy, we're both still very much in love. We're both in love with each other, committed to one another, and we're writing our fairy-tale ending together -- one day at at time.
