When I was finished college and had started working as a medical office assistant, I decided that it was time to meet someone special and get on with my life. I took the plunge and went to some free online dating sites, not really expecting much. I thought that it might be kind of fun, but I certainly did not expect to meet my future husband there.

I went to a site to find local singles and I was a little bit overwhelmed at how many people were registered on it. I was a little bit apprehensive, as I know that many people lie on these sites and you never really quite know what you are getting until you decide to meet in person.

I met Gabe after a few weeks of chatting and we hit it off instantly. I met a few more people after meeting Gabe, but I never really had a connection with them. I am happy to say that we are now married and are expecting our second child this summer.
