After experiencing the success of T46, I knew I had to tell as many of you guys as possible about what they did for me.
I became a member three years ago. I did all the necessary requirements, spoke to all the right people and paid all the fees for the services. That was the hard part. “No pain, no gain”. From that came the “goodies”. My first event was a picnic at the most beautiful nature reserve campus. They put me in a group of eight (three other guys and four girls). They made all the necessary arrangements and set everything up for us. We didn’t have to lift a finger for anything. We literally got there and immediately were showered with snacks and refreshments from the nature reserve guys. We sat by a stunning lake and got to know each other. I met this one girl named Samantha who was bright, intelligent, funny, and drop dead gorgeous. We clicked almost instantly. After sitting with the crew for a few hours, she and I decided to go for a walk on the lake shore. We walked for an hour or so and came back. When the event came to an end Samantha and I exchanged numbers and went our separate ways.
The next day, Thomas called me and said “Samantha had a great time at the nature place and had a VERY great time with you. She wants to be set up on another event with you specifically to get to know you better”. Without hesitation, I said “let’s do it”. “Is there any kind of activity you prefer”? Samantha told me during our walk that she really enjoys horseback riding but never really gets the chance to go. I told Thomas set up a horseback riding event.
About a month later we went to some ranch in the mountains about a half our away. The whole time, Samantha and I rode side by side talking. It kind of reminded me of one of those western romance movies. I was very impressed at how well she knew how to ride a horse and I saw how compassionate she was when she pet the horse and always made sure it had something to drink. That’s the kind of girl I always wanted. One who loves animals and is sensitive to others.
To make a long story short, Samantha and I went through ten months of serious dating before we got married. Crazy story no?
I signed up looking not for a wife but for some good times and meeting new people. Little did I know, signing up changed my life forever. It just goes to show you that you never know where life is going to take you. As it says in my favorite movie Remember The Titans, “you just gotta pick up the ball and run with it”. Sometimes life is like a football game. You gotta try and never quit.
Anyway thanks Thomas at T46 for all your amazing help.
