8 years married!!!

Jason and I were married 8 years ago today. I had "picked him out" using the  find a buddy feature on AOL instant messenger. I just typed in that I wanted to browse males, between the ages of 22 and 27 in Fort Worth Tx. His screen name was one of a few that popped up. Then I saw that he was offline at the time but I had left him a message briefly describing myself. We then ended up writing and chatting back and forth on AOL. About a month later we decided to meet in person. I was 22 and still lived with my parents, so I took a friend with me to go meet him. I told my parents that I was just going out to eat lunch with my friend who later acted like a mediator on the date since Jason and I were both very shy.
     Two days later we met for lunch by ourselves... Within a week or so I finally told my parents that my friend had introduced me to him. Then I had him pick me up at my parents house. My sister was 9 at the time and she immediately asked him what his last name was... When he replied "Lee" She said "Kimberly Lee ..... THAT SOUNDS FUNNY!!" I though Jason would turn around and run out the door!!! But he didn't. He understood that she was only 9 and attempting to be cute.
                So we continued to date and after a misunderstanding with my parents, I moved in with him.Then 1 year 4 months later we were at my cousin Melissa's wedding in Virginia Beach. At the reception he caught the garter and I caught the bouquet. It was a sign... On our flight back to Texas, Jason was wanting to get me to stand up so he could get down on his knee and propose. I didn't stand up, so he had to think of another way.

   So he borrowed my palm pilot and  found the date 3/22/03. Then he typed "My wedding" and handed it back to me... I thought he had someone else's palm pilot!!! While I was staring at it he pulled my Grandmother's 50th wedding anniversary ring off my right hand and then put it on my left hand. Of course I said yes.

After we landed Mom picked us up and asked how the flight went. I kinda shook my left hand and said "This guy proposed to this girl and she said yes!!" Mom did not catch on... so we walked over to baggage claim and Mom finally asked me what the ring was doing on my left hand... I just said, "Remember that couple on the plane that I told you about....."

Tweet vs. status update

I decided to give Twitter a shot. I get that your supposed to share random thoughts facts or feelings and can reply to others, but I am not sure that I am doing it right. (the replying part anyway). I am supposed to put different symbols in front of  Twitter ID's to reply or mention another person (I think). Anyway if you are reading this and know what I am talking about... HELP!!!
    Is Facebook not "in" anymore? I can spot status' and comments no problem...To me Facebook is more direct to your friends and vice versa. Am I right?
