Hi !
In early January, one year and one day after our first date, my boyfriend got down on one knee in front of my Jersey heifers and asked me to marry him...
I said YES!!!
...and this autumn I'll
be changing my name from Fournier to De Ruiter.
Before our paths crossed, I was a sworn spinster, and proud of it. I never dreamed that I'd ever date or marry. After all, what guy would want to marry a girl that was sooooo crazy about her cows?
Funny thing is, Ben and I actually met on E-Harmony--but I wasn't there because I was looking for a guy to date. My friends were encouraging me to meet guys my age, and
I thought that the best way to stop them was to date for six months and "prove" that I was meant to be single. But I guess God had other plans for me, because Ben and I were dating before the end of that first month!
Looking back, I can't believe that our paths never crossed before as we are both dairy farmers, but I guess the timing wasn't quite right. Plus meeting on E-Harmony makes for a better story.
:)
