Five years ago, in the Fall of 2005, I was looking for a special person on eHarmony. After playing the online games they have for matching people, I had it narrowed down to two people, both nurses. The first lived in the Richmond, CA area and the other lived in a town I had not heard of at the time, Antelope, CA. I made a date with the girl from Richmond and I thought it went well. Not wanting to drag the other girl along and feel like a two-timer, I tried my best to be nice by telling her the situation. As fate would have it, my second date with the first girl was canceled because she had found someone else. I sent a message to the second girl, revising my earlier mention that I had a date with someone else. I thought I had blown it with both of these prospects and felt a bit depressed that I may have “hit into a double play.” I did not hear back from her. It was nearing Christmas and I drove up to Reno, NV the weekend of December 17-19 for a family get together. I was feeling dejected until this second girl called my cellphone on December 18. Her name was Kellie Weifert. At the time, I was at my little sister Terri’s apartment. I excused myself from family and went out and talked with Kellie. Thankfully my cellphone was well charged because we talked for quite a while. I don’t remember what was said during the phone call… it has been five years, but it was the best phone call to date. This was the first of many phone calls we’ve made.

Keeping with the baseball metaphor, Kellie was the game winning hit. I thank God everyday that she came into my life. Life has been so much better having Kellie to share it with. I just wanted to acknowledge my love for Kellie on this, our 5-year anniversary of our first phone call.
