Has there ever been a time in your life when things have just suddenly changed for the better? Four and a half years ago my life was in complete shambles. I didn't have any type of direction, I was not in a solid relationship and I was very angry all of the time. I met Brynn online in February of 2001 and THAT is what changed me forever.

Like I mentioned above, Brynn and I met online in February of 2001. It was an accidental meeting, I was online surfin around (unhappy in my inebriated state) and I popped on to www.gay.com into the Kansas chat room. I was living in Iowa at the time but I knew that I would be moving back to Kansas soon so I thought, why not make some friends? When I joined, there were three people in there, including Brynn. The other two people must have been deep in conversation so I started talking to Brynn. We spoke of music, animals, things that make us happy, family... everything you could imagine. We talked for a LONG time that night. I couldn't stop thinking about her but I was in a current relationship (a VERY unhappy one) and I didn't want to cheat, but I didn't want to let her go either. We had so much in common right from the start that it seemed like some sort of cosmic force that pulled us together. I'm not one to believe much in things like that but I think that I found Brynn for a reason. She was just about to leave the chat room when I had joined up.

Things progressed with Brynn and I couldn't get enough of her. I was able to admit that I was in a relationship but that I would do anything to get out of it and be with her. I did break up with my ex not long after I met Brynn. I knew that the situation I was in was not going to last much longer anyway and I wanted to be the person to end it.

After several months of traveling, talking on the phone, e-mail, chat, etc... I moved home to Kansas and we moved in together. What's that joke about lesbians & u-hauls? (hehe) Anyhow, four and a half years later we are still going strong. This is where it gets mushy & gross, fair warning.

Brynn - From the moment that I met you online, I knew we had a special connection. The first time I looked into those big blue eyes I knew that those were the eyes I wanted to see every day for the rest of my life. I couldn't be any happier in my life than where I am at right now. You have brought back the person I once was and put to rest the person that I didn't like. You are the one true thing in this life that I could never live without. You are my laughter, my tears, my courage, my fear.. my everything. I promise you that I will never do anything to hurt you and I will always strive to make our lives happy and full. You have made my life complete.

I love you.
