ESPNLady: I was 72 hours away from cancelling my membership to LDSSO in late
September of 2002, when I happened upon a profile that caught my eye. The
profile of LGABBY was written in such a sincere and heartfelt way, I HAD to
reply. We deadened the batteries of 2 cell phones and 1 cordless phone
during our first telephone conversation, which lasted eight hours. Upon our
first meeting, our eyes locked as if we had known each other long ago - the
connection was electrifying however, both of us "weren't looking for
something serious" at the time. As we grew to know and care for each other,
we realized that our meeting wasn't accidental. Throughout the twists and
turns of our former lives, we realized we had to go through trials and
tribulations in order to appreciate what was intended all along. On December
24, 2002 - with his 12 year old son and parents present, dressed in Christmas
PJs, my "knight in shining armor" proposed. And though we faced a few
obstacles along the way, we never lost sight of our goal - our eternal
companionship. In a sunburst-lit sealing room in the San Diego Temple, June
14, 2003, I knelt across the alter from the one whom I had dreamed of for so
long and we were sealed for time and all eternity. Dreams do come true!
