Karey & Craig
A fairytale love story being lived in the flesh
Craig and I met during the spring of 1997 while talking on an online BBS (the old version of a chat room for all you youngsters out there).  I was relentless in talking to him, as he fondly relates, and we had many good conversations, mostly about politics.  He was a Junior political science major at Southwest State University in Marshall, MN.  I was a month away from graduating high school and was on my way to the University of Missouri-Columbia to begin my nursing degree.  The beginning of our romance was a whirlwind. 

I had begun chatting with a man named Tom.  We talked online and, as most online friendships do, we grew tired of just talking just on the computer.  Tom gave me his phone number and I began calling him on the telephone.  Through these conversations, I learned that Tom had a roommate named Craig.  You can imagine my surprise to find it was THE CRAIG I had been flirting with online!  From that point on, I began calling and asking to speak with Craig rather than Tom.  (I have since apoligized to Tom for this inconsiderate behavior. :) )  Again, I was unrelenting.  Craig and I quickly began talking nightly on the phone, many times until 1 or 2 AM.  I would go to class (sometimes) bleary-eyed from an all-night conversation, but I didn't care!  I was in love!  Craig and I talked frequently of plans after his graduation.  He was to finish school in May and move to Columbia.  We were to begin a wonderful future together.
