When Sarah met Murray
CANTERBURY
I remember asking a friend who was recently engaged, how do you know you have found the one? She said, Sez, you just know. That was how i felt after meeting Murray for a late night coffee. I had been on FSO for a year, met a couple of nice boys on the way, but felt something different and unexpected that evening. It may sound a little corny, but it just felt right. Our relationship progressed happily and rapidly. We were pregnant with our son 6 months later. Our daughter quickly followed. Within two years I went from singledom to a crazy busy household of five (Murray has a son from his previous marriage). We survived the earthquakes, being rezoned and the renovation of three properties, while raising our young family. These we super-stressful times but showed how resilient and strong our bond is. We also threw in a wedding! We recently celebrated our first anniversary and are in love as ever! Thanks FindSomeone, I obviously couldn't be any happier with my experience on the site. And finally, to other members here, have faith and have fun, your match is out there, perhaps just waiting for that 'smile'.
