Awwwww, wow! Both of these stories made me all fuzzy inside and sparked a happy tear. I loved reading everyone's stories (this thread has been on my "New Posts" list for weeks -- I'm just now finding the time to give it the attention it deserves).
I met Fiance in 2000 during my first year at grad school (Purdue). He was also a grad student there. We met through POC (Purdue Outing Club), a group of students who enjoy adventuring in the outdoors: rock climbing, mtn biking, etc ... I thought he was HOT from day one. We were friends for those 4 years, but were always busy in different relationships. At one point I went out to get ice cream w/ Fiance and his buddy. His buddy was interested in me and wanted Fiance to come along to get his opinion on this new girl. After we went our separate ways that evening, Fiance told his buddy, "If you don't date her, I will!"
We grew apart for a little bit. I moved to California and he took a job in Indianapolis w/ Rolls Royce Aircraft Engines. We got in touch via AIM in January 2005. I learned he'd chucked his desk job and moved to FL to start flight training! After 6 mos of serious flirting on AIM, he booked a ticket to CA. The sparks flew! We did the LDR thing from June 2005 till March 2006, when he moved out here after getting all of his ratings.
Life is so much about timing and circumstances, as so many others' stories indicate. Sometimes the first time you meet a person isn't quite the right time, for so many reasons. I'm just super happy and fortunate that we had an opportunity to get back into each other's lives!
