So as I stated in my previous blog, March 1st 2015 was the day PJ first sent me a message on FarmersOnly.com. However, the story begins in February when I was joking around with my brother, sister and brother-in-law that I would join so I could show my brother it was a legit site and that he might possibly find a country girl!
Now I had previously tried a couple of online dating sites (eHarmony, Christian Mingle, etc) and had decided that there was no way I would meet my husband through one of them. However, God had a different plan. Now through these other dating sites, I had always put a bit of glam on my pictures and wasn't as honest in my description of myself. But now here I was in my 30s and happier with myself than I had ever been. So I put it all out there...I uploaded pictures of me in work clothes and dirty, full body pictures of me working in the yard or picking strawberries with my nieces and nephew. No more pictures of just being at a certain angle where I looked thinner. And I was more honest than I had ever been before about my relationship with God. I mean I just stated the facts. My mentality was "If I am going to do this, then its the WHOLE truth and either they like what they read and see or they don't but either way I am who I am." This brought about quite a few guys...and boy did their ages range from being my brother's age to the dude could have been my grandfather...It was crazy!
Now came the weeding through some crazy messages, but I also could skim over profiles and send messages as well. And there was one that caught my eye. The profile picture wasn't of the guy but instead of a farmer kneeling at the cross with a tractor in the background and the words "Farming on Faith". It struck a chord and I went and looked at the profile. Now up to this point I had received messages from guys who were in the same state and I only responded to guys in my state. But this profile picture just tugged and I soon discovered this guy was in Florida. I really liked what he said on his profile but I just couldn't get over him being in Florida. That was definitely not a state I was extremely interested in other than visiting...so I just said well God, if he is a guy I should talk to you will have to prompt him to message me. And so time passed....until March 1st when PJ sent me a message...now I had a dilemma.
I was already talking to three very interesting guys in my own state and now this guy in Florida who I had felt drawn to weeks ago...sent me a message...I had to pray...and so poor PJ did not get a response until March 3rd. . .and so our journey began. . .
