I knew before I met Chet in person that he was the one! We had dated through an "accidental" online meeting (I was spying on someone thru an online dating site!!) and for some strange reason he was the one and only person I accepted a personal chat invite from...8 months later he moved from WA to MT to live with me and 14 months after that we were married! Follow your heart and the one will show him/herself to you one day...<br /><br />Melissa ReidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1081134689701723233.post-87285073999517936252009-09-02T13:27:12.645-05:002009-09-02T13:27:12.645-05:00Alyssa,
Thank you for sharing that beautiful stor...Alyssa, <br />Thank you for sharing that beautiful story. I completely understand about events that happen that could have prevented you from meeting The One. Richie always tells me that everything in life comes down to timing and that there are things, both good and bad, that we have to go through in order to get to our final destination. I have come to understand that he is right (don't you just hate it when husbands are right!).<br /><br /> I am so glad you got your happy ending, and your beautiful little boy as well! <br />Kristen~ @kescovedoKristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958595063617429849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1081134689701723233.post-48916310802811966902009-09-02T07:25:58.602-05:002009-09-02T07:25:58.602-05:00I love your writing, Kristen! You inspired me so ...I love your writing, Kristen! You inspired me so much that I have to share my story now. :)<br /><br />I also had lists of what I did or didn't want in a guy, but somehow those lists never applied to real people in real situations. I always found that the guy just was or wasn't right. Many guys fit all of the criteria on the 'what I want' list, but I didn't feel any connection with them. And somehow I would really want to hang on to guys who possessed qualities that I didn't really admire at all. And then I met my husband and he just 'was'. Like you said...when you know, then you know. <br /><br />When I got home after having met him, I sat down on the floor and cried...and cried and cried. This had never happened to me before (not after a good date, anyways :)). I didn't even know why I was crying but I couldn't stop. I assumed they were tears of happiness but also perhaps tears of fear. Deep down I kind of knew my single life was over, possibly forever. When I finally wiped the tears away, I sat down at the computer and wrote....details of everything that had happened that day and evening because I knew it would be an event I would want to remember long into the future. This was just so different from anything I had ever experienced. <br /><br />As we got to know each other more, through good and bad times, I continued believing that he was The One because I knew I couldn't live without him....and didn't want to. And I also knew he felt the same about me. That always helps. :) <br /><br />I think sometimes destiny does play a role if we really stop and listen to hints we are given along the way. On the way to the city the night that I met my husband, my friend had said in the car, 'we're on our way to meet your future husband.' We laughed then, but little did we know that in the end it would turn out to be the truth. I could go on and on about how many events did/didn't happen that day that should have prevented us from meeting and how just a minute here or there would've resulted in a totally different story, but I will stop for now. I am happy with the ending I got. :) <br /><br />-Alyssa-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1081134689701723233.post-18966876155574461682009-09-01T13:06:34.420-05:002009-09-01T13:06:34.420-05:00I knew you were the one b/c you made me feel like ...I knew you were the one b/c you made me feel like I was the only one that matters, you made me laugh, you were (and are) my best friend, and I couldn't see spending my life without you. There wasn't much left to figure out after that. Thank you for sharing your post and for the wonderful reminder.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15504735292652768245noreply@blogger.com
