GOT IT

So, it took a little finagling but my dear Jeff located his arrest picture. (see below.)
So, I get this picture in an email and he says.  Guess which one is me?  Did I pick the right guy??  Maybe :)  I remember him telling me about some convention him and one of his friends attended.  He actually has this photo titled "The day the costume sickness started."  I should have known, but how could I.  Facebook did not even exist when we first met and this was my first computer and honestly the first time I was actually introduced to the internet.

He was not able to find the picture of Anthony Daniels and Kenny Baker that he sent me, but insisted that I post this:
I will say that, I am impressed with all the people he has been able to meet.  Plus all the autographs that litter his walls in his office, but when do you say enough is enough.  He is my GEEK and I love him for all his little quirks.

In the few months before I REALLY got to know him, I grew to love his charm and big heart and all the rest did not matter.   When they say opposites attract, they weren't lieing.  As one of my friends says: he is my "lobster"!

Living the Geek Life

Funny, when I was growing up and dreaming of my future husband.  I never thought he would be a "GEEK."

We actually met online through some random dating service.  I was dared by my roommate to fill out the membership and see what happens.  So, I was honest about what I wanted:  Good person, funny, no concern with height/weight...blah, blah, blah...  Well, when I was finished and pushed enter, there he sat, just one match.  So, what do I do.  My roommate and her infinite wisdom "dared" me to contact him. Quick little note to him and the rest is history.

But funny story from this online meeting.  After about a week or so of chatting online, I asked if I could see a picture of him.  So he initial sent me a picture of him and one of his friends being arrested by Stormtroopers (I am currently trying to get my hands on this picture). (see stormtrooper reference below. (picture from: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Stormtrooper ))

Obviously picture attached for reference purposes only and if you don't know what one looks like. Okay?? Pretty cool.  Then he sent me a picture of Anthony Daniels and Kenny Baker (and yes I admit, I had to google search their names; also trying to locate this picture :) ).  My roommate blurts out "Oh Kenny Baker and Anthony Daniels"  so I said something to him about it and later he told me, he was extremely excited that he may have just met the girl of his dreams, another Star Wars fan.  But he was in for a big surprise and so was I.
