Hey Jul I read your blog entry about your Irish boy; I am so sorry, but I firmly believe that if he was the one for you he would have realized all of your awesome qualities and never been stupid enough to let you go. The blog entry was beautifully written, I have to admit I’m a bit jealous because you’re a far superior writer to me

Hi Michael, we’re all excited about getting to meet you as well, and to get to hear your story! We’re also going to get to meet Cynthia, who blogs over at Matt’s site, and she’s all excited too. She has offered to perform our wedding ceremony when we eventually tie the knot, as she is registered as an officiant. That might be possible, as long as it’s a secular ceremony and a non-religious one (my family is hardcore JW and they would not attend if I were wed in any other religion’s ceremony. Of course, they still might not attend, since they are supposed to shun anyone who marries out of the religion. Lovely, right?)

Hi Aku, I’ve already spoken to you over the phone, haha! But I’m including you in my comment anyway, since I’m catching up with responding to all my unanswered ones. Thanks so much for reading our story; Matt is still having issues getting his internet back up but has been told it will be up by Tuesday. His phone does work, however, and he would be happy to talk to you. He checks his e-mail at the public library, so you can still contact him there directly.

Thanks,
~Bri

Hi, Bri. I’m a reporter from Newsweek magazine, and I stumbled across your blog earlier this week. I would love to talk to you and Matt about a story I’m interested in pursuing, about the homeless community online (I noticed that you’ve spoken to other media outlets before). I sent Matt an email just now, and if you have time to speak this week, let me know–just send me an email and we’ll set up a time to talk. Thanks, and good luck with everything!

Isn’t life just so extremely quirky?

Circumstances brought you to homelessness and you “lost” all of your worldly possessions. Yet, although materials things may have been removed from your life, you were on the other hand given something of priceless value in return.

When you, Matt and I meet for lunch (or dinner) after he returns, I’ll share with the both of you a similar personal story.

Two weeks will pass quickly… you’ll see.

My best to the both of you….

Good luck with everything, hun. Reading this entry brings back some great and some painful memories. I was in a long distance relationship with an Irish boy for two years, but the distance got the best of us. When you are in college and live such very different lives, it is really tough.

You guys will be good though. You’re awfully cute AND you might move to Elmira. I’m not worried. =P
