Jeff and I started dating in late summer of 1999. He was in Sacramento visiting his Dad. Jeff was going to school at MSU at the time and was on a summer break. We went on a few dates and then Jeff went back up to Montana to start the fall semester at school. Before Jeff left, he addressed an envelope and gave it to me and said " This is the first of many letters your going to send me" He said it with a smile on his face. I thought to myself "This guy is sure full of himself." I figured he was a nice guy, but we wouldn't keep in touch after he went back to Montana. I just assumed he'd go back to Montana and forget about me. I was suprised when I got back from a business trip to find two calls from Jeff on my answering machine. He called to let me know he made the drive back up to Montana okay and to say hello. We soon started comunicating every which way we could: Telephone, e-mail, instant messanger, mail. In November of 1999, I made my first trip up to Montana to visit Jeff. Let me tell you, I think I fell in love with Jeff and Montana. It's beautiful up there!!! We had a party at Jeff's house, and we also went to see some water falls, and went to Chico Hot Springs for a soak. It was a lot of fun. Jeff came down to Sacramento for Christmas that year too. Then I went back to Montana to visit Jeff in Feb, 2000. We went back and forth like this until Jeff finally moved down to California in May, 2000.
