Today is one year from when Bob and I first met. What a great year it has been getting to know each other…and getting married. So many people have asked how we met as Bob lives in NC and I’m in CA. We met through a dating site for people from our denomination. We also have several acquaintances in common and have lived in the some of the same places, but at different times.
His profile read, “Are you an avid adventurer…traveling? Outdoor expeditions? Cooking a new dish?” Sounded interesting! He mentioned in what he was looking for, that he believed in “wherever God leads” and that he trusted him whole-heartedly, but some of the things he liked were as follows: “Someone who can be comfortable in jeans while hammering a nail, yet elegant in an evening gown…at home in a drytop while paddling a kayak in an exotic location, and attractive in a stylish dress at church…enjoying being in an apron while cooking gourmet food together, or curling up together in pajamas on the couch for movie night…assertive in gortex on the side of a mountain, sweats in a gym, a swimsuit on a catamaran in the Caribbean, or a business suite at a meeting. And most of all, a courageous warrior princess that arises each day to put on the full armor of God”
I had no idea what a drytop was and haven’t been on a catamaran or kayak, but since I’ve been on plenty of other boats and am CFO of a yacht facility, I figured that should count for something! We’ve had lots of fun traveling, watching movies on the couch, cooking gourmet meals, sharing spiritual devotions, attending church and doing projects with the house and RV. I’m so exciting to see what adventures we’ll experience in the year ahead.
