I first met Mary Beth Bialon in the Summer of 1994 when I was working on a show at CUP, she was seeing someone else at the time. Over the course of several semesters, we'd say hello when we saw each other on campus. In late October of 1995, we were talking in one of the T.V. lounges when it was revealed that neither of us were dating anyone at the time. I suggested dinner at the Washington Food Court and she graciously accepted (Of course she'll be quick to point out that I stood her up on our first "dinner date," I got tied up in a meeting). Our first de"official date" was November 18th 1995 when we did dinner and a movie. From there it progressed one year two months and 11 days until January 29th 1997, when I got down on one knee on her front porch and asked her to be my wife. We're getting married on June 13th 1999 in a small ceremony and then a big trip to Upstate New York for the honeymoon! Mary holds a BA in English/Professional Writing, a M.Ed. in Elementary Education, and a second certification in Secondary Education Enlglish/Communications all from California University of Pennsylvania. Also, she's exactly 1 week younger than me. I love her with all my heart and then some.
Nobody has a "perfect relationship," there is always something more to learn about being a good partner. Even Mary and I have our problems from time to time, and we have to stretch and grow to keep our relationship alive and well. I've collected some great sites on relationships and put them here in case you are interested, or are having problems understanding one another. If you both want it badly enough, you'll make it work!
