It took me a second, but when I was writing down the date yesterday I had a flashback. On June 21, 2001 I met my ex-husband for the first time in person. After chatting via Yahoo! Messenger for a month, I had finally moved back to Kennewick, WA and got a chance to meet him in person.
It's crazy to think how much life has flown by in these past 10 years. I now have a beautiful (and very tall) 9 year old daughter. I have been divorced and have remarried. I have lived in 7 states since then. I've discovered who I thought I was at the moment. I've made some amazing friends, and I've lost some amazing "friends". Crazy to think about some of the "what ifs" in life. What if I had never met my ex online? Would my life be what it is today? Would I have married the guy I was living with and dating when I first met my ex online? (ok, that sentence alone says "no".. lol) What if I had never left Colorado and had kept my job there?
So many scenarios. I have had a lot of low points in these 10 years, but I've also had a lot of very high points. I just remember that everything in life has been predetermined. It's been laid out for me and all I have to do is live it, learn from my mistakes and laugh.
