o if you have read the
pages about Morgan and Jonathan, you must be wondering how on earth the
two of us met--the only time in those bios that our paths ever could have
come close to meeting is in Scotland, it would seem. Well, it is a long
story. While Jonathan was living at home and working for ls.net, he met a
girl whose identity we should probably protect, but we won't. Her name
was Kristen Bell, and the two of them started dating. They got along very
well, but the summer ended, and it was time for them both to go to their
separate colleges--Jonathan was headed to Stevens outside New York, and
Kristen had chosen Oberlin College in Ohio, 500 miles away from Stevens.
So the two of them decided that, although they would always remain
friends, they should break up, because long-distance relationships are so
difficult.
organ began her freshman year at Oberlin the same year Kristen did.
The two girls lived on the same hall, just a few doors away from each
other. They were best of friends almost the instant they met, and spent
as much time together as they possibly could. Kristen soon found a new
boyfriend at Oberlin, but she still told Morgan stories about what a great
guy Jonathan was. Then, one fateful day, Jonathan called Kristen to
announce that he was coming to visit her. Kristen freaked out, afraid of
what would happen when her ex-boyfriend and her current boyfriend got
together. But Jonathan came, despite Kristen's entreaties not to, to
Oberlin. So Kristen encouraged Morgan to keep Jonathan busy, so that she
wouldn't have to divide her time between the two boys.
kay, this is the cheesy
part. Morgan went to the airport with Kristen to pick up Jonathan. She
hadn't really been sure what to think of the whole situation, and she
wasn't sure she wanted to get set up with this guy. Not until they shook
hands, that is. He had a good firm handshake. And he looked into her eyes
when he shook her hand. And his eyes were green.
o anyway, you can probably guess the rest of it from there. We
thought it was just a one-weekend fling. But it didn't take us long to
realize we missed each other (about fifteen minutes, in fact). We talked
online just about every day. And we started visiting each other every
chance we had. And then Morgan moved in with Jonathan in Hoboken for the
summer. And then when he went to Scotland, she discovered that Oberlin
had an overseas program at a school just a two-hour busride away from the
University where Jonathan was studying. Once they returned to the States,
Jonathan had one year of school left, and after he graduated, he moved to
Oberlin to be with Morgan for her last year of school.
e are very happy to be
together for good, after all those long years of long-distance phone
bills. Now we get to relax and enjoy a lifetime of being MoJo
together.
