On this day, three years ago, I woke up in a rented little house I paid for waiting tables. The walls were cold in that little house, and I snuggled with my puppies every night so we’d all stay warm.
On this day, three years ago, my three and a half year relationship had just ended, and I was feeling lost.
On this day, three years ago, it was Martin Luther King Day and a university holiday—it was my second to last semester of college.
On this day, three years ago, I met a friend for breakfast—a date that had been rescheduled since it didn’t work out the first try.
On this day, three years ago, I was running late (typical)… but the timing was still perfect.
On this day, three years ago, paths were crossed in a funny little turn of fate. I didn’t know it then, but one year later I’d be married to that blue eyed man I met out in the parking lot. My best friend.
On this day, three years ago, the entire course of my life changed direction. Matthew, I hope to someday be someone who deserves you, and to be what you deserve. You make me better everyday. I am so grateful.
Funny all that can happen in a single day, isn’t it.
“I have learned to listen to my heart. I have learned that if you never make room for better things and better ways to be, if you never clear out the things in your life that stand in the way of your happiness, then you are not aligning your universe to allow for amazing things. In this life, you don’t find yourself. You create yourself. And the same goes for love: you don’t find love, you create a road for love to travel and wait for it to come.” Full love story here.
PS – The date necklace pictured above is one of my favorites and would make a fabulous gift (guys—Valentine’s Day… ehhh?) Be sure and use the coupon code Jenni25 for 25% off! :)
