The story of us begins on a cold December evening in the Pacific Northwest. I in Camas, Washington she in Portland, Oregon. Both of us had been through a divorce not that long ago and now happened to be looking in on our “OK Cupid” profiles. I found Nancy’s profile and started reading it. Now I know what your thinking… reading it?? Nobody actually reads those do they??. But I assure you I read the whole thing as it was very interesting to me. The thing I found most interesting? Cheese, yes cheese, she had written that she loved cheese and the stinkier it 
was the better. This stinky cheese loving woman was very much an intriguing person to me already! While mulling the cheese, her interests, and the photos of Nancy over in my head, I noticed that a little dot indicating that she was online at that moment was showing she was there. Wow, I thought to myself, I should ping her and see if she responds! So I summoned up my courage and thought of the wittiest opening line modern man has ever come up with. I wrote, “Cheese eh”?, thinking I would NOT get a response but hold the phone I did! Her response, “Yes, the stinkier the better”. Instantly I thought, this is going to be interesting…
This is the beginning of our story… feel free to share your stories.
