Our Beginning

*This and the next few posts will be about how I met my husband and all the things that happened in the beginning. There are a lot of details and I don't have the time frame exactly right but all of the events DID take place. These are real people, real conversations, real events. I am changing names for the sake of privacy.

*You will also find my opinions throughout my blog. They are what I believe and I doubt anyone can say anything that will change the way I think about these things. I have a lot of experiences that have shaped my beliefs and whether or not you agree does not matter. Just read with an open mind.

*This is part one of the "How We Met" section of my blog. Please enjoy.

We met in a dark night club in the spring of 2011. We were with our spouses. The actual settings were not what you'd consider to be PG13 so I'll skip the details for now.

The important thing is that we met. The reason why we met? Because we were both in a nightmare, trapped and lost, allowing other people to determine our lives and what we did. We did not want to be in that noisy, crowded confinement that was our marriages and our current surroundings. But we went because that's what we did. We just nodded and went along with whatever we were told. To keep the peace.

So much for peace-keeping.

She approached me. His wife. We spoke briefly and exchanged information. I never expected to hear from them again. Just some random people we met in an equally random situation. Who would even remember me? I am nothing special. My best feature I believe to be is my eyes and I highly doubt that is what you could clearly see in the smoky darkness of the club. 

So in a week a phone call is all it took to change the game. It was from an area code I knew no one in. And on the other line was the sounds of a car filled with children, but no voice. I chalked it up to a wrong  number and continued with my Wii-Fit exercise. Who knew that those sounds were the prophetic sounds of my future? Who knew that everything I knew was going to dramatically change, beyond anything that I could have possibly hoped for?
