Where do I even start?
Once I received a comment from a mysterious reader in Oregon - she encouraged me to be patient in my place of life as a single woman waiting for my Mr. Right (I couldn't for the life of me find the comment to refresh my memory). So, my Oregon reader, if you're still tuned in...I've got some exciting news for you.
"When you are in love, you want to spread the word, to tell the fish in the ocean and the lamppost on the corner and to send the news spinning itself out across continents and seas, so that all of creation might rejoice with you." Marisa De Los Santos in "Loved Walked in"
I swore I'd never do it. "Eharmony might work for SOME people...but not for me." Then Christina came home late one weeknight and said she was signing up, "you should do it!"
"oh alright!" I had read Henry Cloud's book, "finding a date worth keeping" a year prior, sorted through a lame relationship and was still challenged by his charge to be active in dating and take risks." So, at 11:00pm I committed to 3 months of my own matchmaking.
His name was Matt, he had no picture on his profile. He should have been one of the quick closes...but for some reason, we started chatting. He was intentional from the start, refreshing compared to most of my experiences. We met for coffee at Starbucks on February 12th. This next Tuesday will be our 6th month anniversary and he is now my fiance.
Despite my fears of marrying the wrong man, fear of commitment and struggle with vulnerability, I've become one of those people who says, "when you know you know."
He's an amazing man - more than I imagined when I dreamed up my Mr. Right. I can't wait to enjoy life with him, as his wife.
