This layout is for the "How you met your significant other" challenge. The photo is our faces put into one of those silly templates at the silly photo shop in Vegas. Because of how we met, we couldn't resist buying this photo.

The twist was flowers and buttons. I attached a clear button to patterned paper in the upper left-hand corner.

Polka dotted tab to right of photo is attached to hidden journaling which reads:

I went to that website out of sheer boredom…nothing else. I had already seen enough on Amazon.com, Oprah.com, E!Online.com. It was Friday night, I was home alone. And I was bored. So I clicked on Match.com, just to see what all of the hoopla was about. I was sure that I’d find more than enough reading entertainment there to keep me occupied for a couple of hours.

So I started browsing. I was turned off by some before I even clicked the ad title. I was turned off by others in the first sentence…or first paragraph. I must’ve poured through hundreds. Literally. And then this one caught my attention: “Shrek ISO Princess Fiona” it said. I loved the Shrek movie, and had just watched it the night before as a matter of fact. So I clicked the link. And there I saw a picture of the “big man” as he called himself. I read the first sentence, then the next, and before I knew it, I had gotten to the end of his self-description…after laughing out loud many, many times.

I told myself that I HAD to write to him, just to tell him how much I enjoyed reading his profile. I tried to do just that, but the match.com police told me that I had to join myself to even comment on an ad. So I put in the bare minimum just so I could respond to him.

He e-mailed me back, I wrote back, we went back and forth for a few days. Neither of us were looking for a relationship. We just chatted. A few more days passed and then we talked via IM…and then on the phone. And then we decided to meet at Starbucks for a cup of coffee. He got there first and I watched him from behind the magazine rack. I finally got up the courage to approach him, and asked, “Can I buy you a cup of coffee?”

The rest is history. We spent hours in Starbucks and have hardly been apart since.

Shrek was in search of Princess Fiona, and from that very first moment, we both knew: he had found her.
