I saw the headline of this article on the G&M site today and immediately thought of you two, and to my great surprise you were in the article. The comments were pretty hilarious, some people really have a hard time with ideas they aren't used to. Meet in a bar = ok. meet on internet = EVIL!
I'm still haunted by a dream I had when I was 8. Dinosaurs invaded the swimming pool. It was terrifying. I don't know if that could be used as a metaphor for your current situation...probably not.
Congrats on your 1 year anniversary! I think your story is really cool as a modern day love story. I wish you and Joel all the best for the next year (and beyond...)
