There are days when I am overwhelmed by the amount of blessings in my life. Sometimes this hits me for an obvious reason, and other times it just creeps up slowly and sweeps over me without any obvious trigger. Today, I am feeling like the luckiest girl alive. Not only do I have four wonderful children, but I am married to the love of my life.
Today is the anniversary of the day that Brian and I had our first date. I will never forget sitting across from this handsome man at a small table in Books-a-million, sipping coffee, and feeling so connected to him and so at ease. It was obvious that the feeling was mutual.
For each person that believes in Love At First Sight, there are at least two who don't. Please don't quote this as fact (I made it up), though it seems fairly accurate (I did read that 1 in 4 men believe in LAFS, but I'm sure women bump up the stat quite a bit). Before I met Brian I was more of a skeptic in this area. It could happen I suppose, but would not likely lead to anything lasting... My whole outlook changed NINE years ago today- immediately and also gradually, throughout the next year and a half of our courtship leading up to our wedding.
Little did I know that day at Books-a-million, that this man I let into my life would completely change it...
