How we met


Gennie here...
DJ and I met on myspace in December 2006. DJ was searching for work contacts and motorcycle contacts and on a search by zip code my profile came up. Turns out I had used my Dad's zip code when I set up my account. So, DJ looked at my profile and saw that I was in the military and decided to leave me a "thank you for serving our country" kind of message. Needless to say I was MORE than hesitant to reply, but after studying his profile and things I did reply 6 days later with a generic "thank you for supporting our troops" kind of message. Well this sparked a conversation and the messages back and forth led to instant messaging and then phone calls. We seemed to hit it off instantly, it was sureal! He eventually brought up marriage and since I was living in San Antonio, TX, he decided to meet my Dad to ask him for permission. My Dad and DJ met, things went well and DJ came down to SA in February 2007 so we could meet in person. He proposed to me while he was visiting and of course I said yes. DJ went back to Sacramento, and I stayed in SA until after our wedding on April 6, 2007 when he moved to SA to be with me.
Yup, a fast and amazing love that neither of us thought we could ever find.
