What's meant to be will always find a way...

2010 has been a year of life changing events, some for worse and some for better.  The biggest and most important lessons I've learned through them all are to always follow/be true to your heart and to remember that in time what's meant to be will always find a way.  I was never much a believer in the 2nd one.  I always thought that's just what people say when things get tough and never really took to heart where patience, perseverance and faith can lead you.  For me, it's lead me back to Beau. 

Beau and I seem to have got "Our Story" down pact now that we have been back together for about 3 months.  We dated for about a year and half in college at USF where we met with all of his fraternity brothers (Sigma Chi) and my sorority sisters (Tri Delta) at Olive Garden.  There was a mutual, instant attraction and curiosity to get to know each other and once we were introduced we started dating instantly. 

Having met when we were having the times of our lives in college, having a serious girlfriend was necessarily on Beau's radar.  We broke up, but got back together quickly as we realized we were in love and crazy about each other.  It seemed as though timing was not on our side as being Beau's first love in his early twenties seemed too good to be true and too much too soon all at the same time.  Heartbroken, we parted but I always knew things were unfinished between us. 

To hide my heartbreak I quickly began dating and tried to move on.  3 and half years later and a whole lot of life lessons in between, I found my self back in Orlando, living with my mom and job searching when I realized that Beau lives in Orlando too.  After all this time, I still thought of him often and figured now was my chance to tell him so.  I did and he felt the same way and here we are back in each others arms, just as much in love, a little more mature and smart enough to realize how lucky we are to have found each other again.




I'm the happiest I've ever been!  I'm living in a city/town I've always loved, surrounded by close family and friends who have been my rock through everything, an amazing new job and over the moon in love.  It's hard for me not to find reasons to smile these days and after all I've been through, It feels really good!  Thanks for looking out Dad
