How the Hell Did a Californian land in Mountain Home, Arkansas???

We've had a lot of people ask how Bill ended up here in Mountain Home, Arkansas from Sacramento. Last week Paste This suggested we tell this story, so we've decided to do just that.

We usually refer to it as our Bait and Switch story.

Bill and I met through a mutual friend Steve LeBlanc. Steve and Bill had lived in Santa Fe 15 or so years earlier. Steve introduced Bill and I through the Internet. Now normally I would not have spoken to anyone on the Internet I didn't know, but I figured Bill had a good reference so he must be ok. After countless hours on the phone and online I flew out to Sacto for some Microsoft training. That was it, we knew we had to be together. So, every other weekend we flew back and forth. The plan was for me to move with my two kids to Sacto. I loved it there and so did Bill. Well, after Bill and I got married I chickened out (didn't want to quit my job, sell my house, or move my kids). So, I delievered the news that there was no way I was moving to California now. At that time I was still living in Arkansas and he in California. So after a day of him thinking this over he decided he would journey to The Natural State to be with me.

Today marks our two year wedding anniversary, and it's been a great adventurous two years!!
