In May of 2005, both Jessica and I had profiles on an internet dating site. One day, I came across her profile and sent her a message. After 2 or 3 days of messaging each other, we started talking on the phone. Towards the end of May, we would talk on the phone throughout the entire night! With Gay Pride Weekend approaching at the beginning of June, we decided that would be a great time for us to meet and for Jessica to meet Chelsea and RJ. The plan was for Jessica to stay for the weekend and go back to her home in Albuquerque... Jessica left and made it to Las Cruces only to turn right back around and walk in the door with a single red rose for me... We moved in together and "the rest is history!!"
It was the end of July in 2006... Jessica had a surprise birthday party for me. The first one I have ever had!!! And YES, I was absolutely surprised!! Her parents were in town and lots of our good friends and family were there, too -- After I opened presents, Jessica got down on one knee, we both started crying, and she "popped the question" and gave me the most beautiful ring ever!!!
