We met online (eHarmony) and our first date was semi-blind. We met at a Chinese restaurant, had waffles for dessert, and then went to a local movie theater. It was a great, great first date. Exciting! But, we were both a bit nervous, I think. It was my first online date and Joe says he had had a string of not so great ones before we met.
Joe proposed 2 years after our first date at sunset, at Cape Hatteras Lighthouse on the Outerbanks of NC. Joe told me about a year before, while walking on a Lake Erie beach, that he wanted to build me a lighthouse someday. The proposal was amazing. I cried. There are many more awesome details about the proposal and our lives we will share over the next few months.
Oh, and work: Joe is a metallurgical engineer. He works for German company that provides engineering solutions to the global steel industry. He has worked and lived in Germany, China, Brazil and India. I’m a clinical psychologist (walking in my doctoral graduation at the end of April!).
