The year was 1997. I was hanging with my best friend who was curious about online chatting on AOL. I told him that I would show him how it worked. We went to the store, purchased a 6 pack of beer, and headed to my place. I logged into AOL and hit a chat room. He cracked open a beer and let the games begin. He was not a very good typer so I took over for him. I asked the room if anyone wanted to trade pictures (no nudes) and someone replied. We each liked what we saw and began to chat. My friend got bored and left so I continued to chat for hours that day. She lived in CO and I was in CA. We continued to communicate by pc and phone for approximately 3 weeks. We decided to meet in Vegas for the first time. We met in the airport and still felt the same connection so we got married that same night She flew back to CO and I to CA. She packed up her house and turned in her 2 weeks notice. I flew out to CO and we drove to CA pulling a 15 foot trailer with her belongings back to CA. We are still married today and I wouldn’t change a thing. If it was not for my friend asking about chatting on AOL I would not have met my wife. I was through with chatting on AOL and had not been on it for a couple of months.
