A few years later...

I'm typing this on my iphone. Rediscovered my post about hubs finding me on Craigslist. It now amazes me that he went through such not-like-him-at-ALL behavior to find me. He is very conservative and I am not. He has never smoked anything in his life. I support legalization. We compromise by him agreeing to grow it commercially if legalized. I love my husband. We celebrate 5 years in a few weeks.

Craigslist Confession and Online Dating

I met my hubby on Craigslist.

I was looking for a couch.

I found CL personals.

Free men!

Hmmmm...... I browse.

I am 39.

Next night, I browse again.

So many free men!

Should I make an offer?

I need opinions.

I consult friends.

Who are married.

"They're all perverts."

"Don't do it."

"It's for desperate people."

I am 39.

I write my post.

"...will relocate for love..."

Am I desperate?

A few responses intrigue me.

We chat.

My cheeks are blushed.

Pep in my step.

It's been a while.

Still chatting.

Too scared to meet in person.

My friends are worried.

Should I quit sharing my personal life?

I dream about him.

The exact him.

I fine-tune my wants.

I repost.

5 minutes later, my husband says hello.

I know you'll have hundreds of responses.

I meet all your wants.

He is so cute.

He looks private.

We chat.

One week.

I am walking on air.

Voice contact.

I giggle, I can't control the little girl inside.

I think it made him smile.

We are meeting. In person. Saturday!

LaMadellines.

I could feel my heart. In my stomach.

Watching every man that walked in.

There he is. He is tall.

I watch him walk through all the tables, looking.

Is he nervous?

"Shauna?"

I stand up and look in his eyes. Barely.

I tried not to giggle.

Love at first sight.

3 days later, he drove 2 hours to my town.

He told me he was going to marry me.

We celebrated our anniversary Nov 21.
