I am so thankful that Internet existed. I don't think I would have met my husband without it. The student assistant at the Student Affairs Office introduced me to an online dating site. She was the one who created my account/profile as I was very busy back then writing my thesis. At the last hour of the free trial for my account, this US Navy guy sent me a message and that was the start. We communicated for almost six months, got to know each other through chat and phone calls. Then on March 22, 2003, he decided to visit my country and met me in person for the first time.
Six months after his first visit, he came back and we got married and the rest is history. Internet is a really a blessing for me, I am now married for almost ten years and have two precious children.
I couldn't imagine my life without Internet. It is part of my love story. Here's a photo of me and my husband during our first "real date".
So glad I gave an online dating a try. Look what I could have missed if I didn't.. Thanks to my angel "Ruth" for hooking me a up.
Rose, that's an interesting story and I'm glad yours came out well. Some are not so lucky that I wouldn't recommend it to others. Have a happy family week!

ReplyDeleteI know right? I met hubby on the internet too, who could have thought that we will have 3 kids and tons of bills?
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful husband and blessed with 2 little angels.
internet do works wonder, i have met my long lost mother through it too.
ReplyDeleteyou're right, like you sis internet is a blessing to me as well, aside from meeting my boyfriend in an online dating site is also help us earn...so glad it was invented.. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe internet can be a great connector. I'm so glad it has helped to bring you so much joy. You are a beautiful family!
ReplyDeletei agree with you mommy, i couldn't imagine myself either without internet. It makes everyone's life so much easier. I find internet to be useful in all different ways and I must admit, I would be so bored without internet at home. I rather have it than cable or cellphone.
ReplyDeleteAnd I can relate to that mommy. I would have not met my husband and I would have not had two precious kids as well. We are blessed! :) YOu have one beautiful family. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sooo thankful for the internet as well! I was able to put up my blogs and earn from it.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, I love, beautiful pictures. Delicious. Greetings.
ReplyDeleteNatawa ako sa 'tons of bills' ni Mommy Liz. Hurray to the Internet :)
ReplyDeleteLovely lovestory, Rose! You can save that for L! ;)
ReplyDeleteHow is your little daughter? I hope she is better now.
Thanks for your comment on IWD. It's still far away from a good life for many women in Africa and Asia, who are considered to be their husband's property. Fortunately you and we have better husbands.
Such a sweet love story! Thanks to the Internet!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you ! I couldn't imagine my life without internet anymore and I only started in 2006 but it is never too late ! That's nice that you found each other through Internet, that's the modern way of meeting ! I know several couples who met this way, and only a few who really had no chance with the guy !
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute couple you were ! (and still are, lol) !
We love the Wide Wide Web too :) Thank you for stopping by pret-a-vivre.com
ReplyDeleteHow nice that the Internet is proved once more a force for positive changes in the world. I know two pastors and several others who met through the Internet - if they didn't hit it off, it seemed mutual, but once they found real love and shared values, they were and are so happy. Your children are adorable and you look very content. Congrats. Amy

ReplyDeleteYou and your hubby are a true testament that online dating works. I used to work in online dating site and I've seen and talked to many people who've gotten together through us and are happy with each other. Some are not so lucky. So happy you're one of the lucky ones! Yes, indeed, internet is a blessing!
