How We Met Online

You never know how wonderful someone is till you finally meet them. This is the story of how we met. Two lonely people united by computers.

June 8, 1998 I got on my computer, and signed on to America Online. My usual online friends were not on for the night. I decided to go into the Member Directory, and search for people in my city. I lived in a city where it was three cities, combined together, with a few other towns closely connected. I plugged in my city, and oddly, ONE screen name and description stuck out. So I proceeded to read his profile. His marital Status read,::Barbie, Grins madly:: After I had finished reading, I Instant Messaged him. "Hi," I said..."Hello," he responded. I continued to say, "So, does your girlfriend look like barbie?" he replied, "I don't have a girlfriend." "Hi, Im Marjorie," I said.."Hi, Im Morgan." We talked all that night.

The

next night we again chatted. We exchanged pictures. To scare him, and see what his reaction to my situation was, I sent him a baby picture of myself, and told him it was my daughter. He was not scared by it, and still continued to talk to me. Amazing, all the other guys I ever talked to and sent the picture to, never talked to me again. We talked all week, getting to know each other.

wasnt until, a week or so after first meeting him online, that he called. One night I was on the balcony, talking with Morgan, while we were talking about graduation. I asked what he did for his, and he mentioned that he had a school all night party, and that his cousin had graduated the same year,and also attended her party. I asked him, if his cousin's lived around here, and he said yes. He said her name, and my mouth dropped. I said, "I know a girl with that name. Her last name is um...Williams." Morgan laughed. He asked, "how do you know her?" I told him my high school friend was friends with her, and that I had hung around with them a few times. Morgan laughed again, and said, "thats my cousin."

The first night Morgan came over... It's a memory of details we both will always remember.
But how about my first REAL glimps of him???

worked for SEARS, in the Intimate Apperal department. Morgan had said he was going to come by and see me, I just didnt know when. I was next to the purses, straightening. It was about 8 minutes till the store was to close.. This guy, in blue jean shorts, a black shirt, and black hat came walking by. I stared.. I watched him pass.. "SEARS WILL BE CLOSEING IN 5 MINUTES...." was heard over the intercom. The dark man with jean shorts then walked back out. I ran to the doors and watched him walk to his car. He walked to a white mini-van. The store closed, I finished my shift and went home. I signed online, and sure enough, showing on my buddy list was him. So i sent him an Instant Message. "I saw you come into my work!" I said. "I didnt go to the mall," he said. "I saw you," I said. "ok then, If you saw me what was I wearing?" he asked. I told him. It was so totally him. Now he finally admits it.

called him over to help me with my computer. I was bored of the normal sounds, and he had disk's full of neat ones. He sat at the computer, while i sat far away in the other chair, with a stuffed bunny on my lap. He stayed for a little bit and left. Called me when he got home, and we talked till we fell asleep. I walked into the kitchen where my roomate was getting something, and she asked me if i kissed him. I told her no, we were just friends. The next few nights were so cool. He came back to the apartment where i lived. We drove to my aunts bead shop, to look for some incents. In the drive over, we played slug bug.. A real ice breaker.

When

we arrived home we made ourselves comfortable. We lit the incents. I then took the packet of matches, and played keep away. I hid them in my shirt, my socks, etc. While he'd reach across me to try and get it. "HINT HINT" We ended up wrestling, and just having fun. We did this for a few nights.

Towards

the end of the month, he had his friend Jesse come with him, He said cause he was nervous. On that day I learned to play Magic cards. We painted each others nails, and did each others hair. We also got hungry and went to Sharies Resturant, and the guys showed off their pretty nails, and asked the waitress if she like em. "I dont like nail polish on men," the waitress said and left disgusted. While at that resturant we waited and waited for something to drink. However our waitress never came back. So we left her a happy message in ketchup. "BRING ME WATER OR DIE!" hehehe. That was so fun.

JULY 12, 1998.

I was house sitting at my parents. Morgan called and we stayed on the phone for hours, Up untill 6AM. Morgan had mentioned that he better get to bed, that he wanted to go to the movies when he got up....I thought to myself, awww I wish he'd ask me to go with him to the movies. Amazingly, before we hung up, he did. I told him to call me when he got up. Something he'd been doing for awhile. Waking me up with his pages and phone calls. He lived in one of the side towns of our Tri-city area, as I in the city. He called me that morning to wake me up, and tell me he was on his way over.

came over, and I drove up to the movies. We went to see Armegeddon....... THE BEST MOVIE!!! I tried to nudge myself closer and closer to him, hopeing he'd hold me through the sad parts, or comfort me while the tears fell on my face. He never did. After the movie, we drove back to my parents place, and CHILLED.. and I mean Chilled. ***"THIS PART I'LL LEAVE OUT* as it is Morgan and my special memory. Along with the early morning of JULY 16th.***

JULY 26th 1998. I had arrived home from work in the evening. Signed online, and thought to myself, "We have been friends is that all we will be?" I sent Morgan this exact Email ****to still be added**** And quickly signed off. The phone rang shortly after, it was Morgan, and we talked allll night about the email, and made "US" official.

*Aug 8,1998* A Dabling Family Reunion. We hung out with the family, playing games, and talking. I introduced Morgan to everyone, and got him use to the family. We drove to his house earlier in the evening to get some extra food. While there we check mail. I had sent Morgan an INSTAKISS, which, Thanked him for being so nice and sweet to me and always being there when i needed someone. I ended the message with.. Love ya lots, MARGE. He thanked me for the message and we left back for the Reunion. We took a tent and got ready to go to bed. Laying there just holding each other. Morgan rolled over and asked, "Do you mean what you wrote in that message you sent?" I said, "you mean how I'm thankful and how sweet you are?" "No the part at the end!" he said. "Ohhh how great you are, yes i ment that. " I remarked. "noooo nooo noooo, not that part, the very end," he said. I then went on to say, "You mean the Love yyyyyyyyy..." and he then interupted, "I LOVE YOU TOO!" We kissed and cried, the whole night. It was amazing. That was the first time we ever told said we loved each other.

*DEC 25th 1998*

we got engaged. 1 1/2 years later married. On *May 6th 2000.* Our honeymoon was awesome at Disneyland, and we can't wait to go back.
