So I've been attempting the wide world of online dating again for the last few months. I went out with a couple guys, but none of them was what I was looking for. I finally gave up again and decided to focus on me and my goals.
Just over a week ago, I ran into an old friend. I shared with her that I was so excited that I finally have career goals and a clear path how I want to get there. It took me 31 years to have goals other than finding a husband and starting a family. I'm growing up at last! The next day, Saturday to be exact, I was driving around town running some errands and I remember thinking about dating and that I really wasn't interested anymore with trying to find someone and that it was me time. I was finally ok with it all and truly meant it. I've never felt that way before, truly ok with where my life is going, it was a huge revelation in my life!
But as always, God has a funny sense of humor! My next errand was to get my oil changed so I pull into Jiffy Lube and found a spot in the waiting room to do just that, wait. After I had sat there for quite awhile and I was hoping my car was about done, a guy walks in and starts up a conversation with me. It all started because I was wearing a Templeton Rye tshirt! At first, I kind of tried to blow him off because I'm not a big fan of waiting room chit chat. He wouldn't give up though and kept talking. Finally about 15 minutes later my car was finally done and I was headed out the door. I'm not sure what possessed me to do it, but before I left, I handed the guy my card and told him to call or email me sometime! I then went to meet up with some co-workers and I told them as I walked in the door, "I think I met a guy at Jiffy Lube!"
Now, just over a week, three dates later and all my friends telling me, "I told you so," I finally get what they were talking about when they said it would happen when you least expect it! And I'm so glad it did! I'm so excited to see where this will all go...
Stay tuned!
