HAVE I GOT A STORY FOR YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


BUT, THERE IS A BRIGHT SIDE TO THIS STORY................

The same week my bf told me what was going on, I received a reply from an old bf from Okinawa, Japan. He and I dated in Jr. High/HS. We dated for a year and five months. He had moved to NC and eventually we broke up. I was so heartbroken after that that I didn't date anyone else for another year and a half. I never forgot him or stopped thinking about him.

So, we began writing each other and talking on the phone. In September he came out to see me!!! It was awesome. It felt like we never even parted to begin with. He wants to marry me!!!!!!!
And...I want to marry him!!!! It's out of control!!! I can't believe all of this. You know how they say, "you'll just know"...well, you do!!!

I stopped believing in fate and the whole, "things happen for a reason", but I can't explain all of this in any other way. I never really let the Okinawa bf go...in my heart that is. Perhaps this is why...b/c he's the one I'm supposed to marry. I never really could see myself marrying the bf who cheated on me...and he wanted to a long time ago. Now, I'm ready to run...not walk...down the aisle. Of course, I'm not going to. I'm a thinker, an analyzer, so I have to take my time. Except, I don't want to over analyze my situation. It feels so wonderful!!! So, right!!! I feel so at peace!!! Am I crazy, or what?

I've left out lots of details b/c of time and privacy. However, I hope I was able to get my enthusiasm for my new beau across. I can't say enough just how awesome this is.

I'm happier than I've ever been.

Sweetie, I can't believe it!!! I'm SO STOKED for you - you totally deserve all of it! I'm so happy for you girlie, me typing the words out can't really adequately explain my happiness for you, but realize it couldn't have happened to a better girl!!!

Shopgirl, you rule! May you have the best relationship ever!
