Milan (pronounced "mee-lon" not mill-ann or mil-on)and I met online in September 2008. We lived in the same town, only 1.5 miles apart, but for some reason it took a month of talking before we went out on our first date (which started at noon and didn't end until 10 that evening). Since that date we have seen each other everyday and it has been quite a whirlwind. He proposed on our 5 month anniversary after he and my mom teamed up on me but that is a long story for another post. We are planning our wedding for May 1, 2010.
Milan's 39, he's never been married and has no kids...which might make you wonder "what's wrong with this guy" but I think it's because he takes the idea of marriage very seriously and didn't want to get into something that wasn't going to be a life-long commitment; at least that's what I tell myself. He is the first in his family to be born here. His siblings were born in Serbia and some of his family still lives there, including his father (his mom passed away a few years ago).
I have a 4 year old son (who's father also passed away a few years ago) and I was married once upon a time. Milan and Eric have a wonderful father/son relationship and it warms my heart to know that my son finally has a father-figure in his life that is deserving of the title. After a few not-so-great relationships I am glad I have found "the one" and I consider all past relationships just practice for the real thing.
