It is funny to hear some people’s reactions when we tell them how we met. Jen and I met through an online service called Friend Finder. I was just playing around with it and was sending out an email or two to people. She actually responded to my pathetic email.We started out as friends. Jen at the time had a boyfriend. We email each other and chatted on ICQ for a while. One day I was looking for someone to go hiking with. Jen seemed to jump at the chance, this was the first time we met in person. We went up to the top of the “Iron Man” trail in Poway.From there we did a few things together like going out to play pool or just kicking back and talking.

Jens boyfriend at the time decided to be stupid and broke up with her. Stupid move for him.

Before that happened, Jen and I had went out for pizza at a little place in La Mesa.

Jen called me that night after it had happened and we talked for a while. I don’t think I made her feel too much better.

She decided she wanted to get away for a weekend. She was thinking of a drive up the coast around the 4th of July. I wanted to go with her, but was not going to ask. It was about this time that she was going to move. She was moving much closer to work and was going to save a lot on gas. She found a woman who wanted a roommate. What the lady actually wanted was a slave, but Jen didn’t know that at the time. We got her moved in while her new roommate was away on a trip in Mexico. Then Jen asked me to go with her on her trip.

When we went on this trip, I had felt as if I had known Jen all my life. I still feel this way. We just get along. We finish each other’s sentences. We finish each other’s thoughts.
