My cousin had tried on multiple occasions to set Lydia and I up. However, we had both dismissed the idea as ridiculous because Lydia lived in Madison, Wisconsin and I in California.

It took a few years for us to meet in person. I was visiting my cousin in Madison, WI who had brain surgery in May 2007. Lydia lived in Madison at the time and her family was and remains very good friends with my cousin and his family. While visiting, I got sick and ended up in the hospital….Disrupting my plans of visiting my sister in Minnesota. Thus, I stayed in Wisconsin an extra couple of days. Lydia’s family had a barbeque that weekend.

My cousin took me along to the barbeque as the uninvited guest. At the barbeque I had little chance to talk to Lydia except for brief moments when I asked her to get me coffee TWICE. She willingly got the coffee the first time but protested the second time by saying “I am not your maid !”So I thought hmmmm…she is extremely beautiful, has a little spunk , is not afraid to speak her mind what an excellent combination!!

After we left the barbeque, I asked my cousin if I can get Lydia’s number. when my cousin approched Lydia to ask her if it is ok to give her number to me, she responded with questions such as : who is he? why does he want my number ? why do I need to talk to him, etc. Through the persistence of my cousin, I got her number and I called Lydia only to be greeted with more sherlock holmes type questions..After calmly answering her questions and assuring her that I mean well, we talked for 1 and 1/2 hrs and the rest is history.
