He is from Salem but moved to Sacramento area for work, he is a stock broker and trader, and a buddy of mine is from Cali but moved here for two years and when he moved back to Cali I went down and visited him, and I guess it was a setup that Darren had been hearing about me for a while and so when I went to dinner with my friend I was visitng Darren was there and we stayed together the rest of the trip and have been just totally head over heels since then.

hikerchick · 08-22-2003, 09:35 AM

awwwww.....that's so sweet!

You guys will work it out.

When my husband and I started dating he was in the navy. After we were going out for four months he got shipped out for four months, we couldn't talk the whole time. When he got back he asked me to marry him. I was head over heels for him. When we got married I was still in college and his sub got transferred to CT (we were both in NH), I finished out the semester at UNH so we didn't even live together the first 4 months we were married. I definitely feel your pain!

shortstuff · 08-22-2003, 09:37 AM
