She Is Out of This World

I think we can all agree that good memories are better than bad ones, and life is more interesting when you have someone with whom you can create, celebrate, and reminisce with about cherished experiences.  It has been a long time since I have had a partner to mutually plan and pursue dreams. 

Last fall, I joined an online dating site for those affiliated with my religious faith - which is a bit intimidating and brings back some of the anxiety related to being a young single adult.  It is a very different experience, however, when you are a senior citizen getting acquainted remotely over the Internet.  Rather than being a competition where you are trying to impress someone, the focus is more about common beliefs, interests, goals, and maximizing happiness.

I feel very fortunate to have found someone through this cyber experience who shares so many of my values and ambitions.  Let me introduce Nancy Toth, who I would describe as “being out of this world”.  Considering Nancy is from Roswell, New Mexico, this is not such an “alien” idea.

I will admit that part of my motivation regarding courtship is the desire to serve a church mission.  It turns out that in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, for someone like me to go on a mission and be engaged in the Lord's work, they must first be engaged.  So, I proposed and Nancy has accepted.  Stay tuned if you want more information regarding this engaging adventure.
