Reunited and It Feels So...So...Weird?

Goodness, I really don't know where to begin on this one, but then again, I think I do. I am not crazy then again, I think that I am. I know that I am crazy in love with my husband and it is so good to be that in love. But, that's besides the point. Anyways, about 11 years ago, I met this guy online named Lyn. We would talk on the phone constantly (when I wasn't in class or if it was the weekend, we would just talk). We never knew what each other looked like, but we didn't care. We just talked and talked on the phone for hours on end. We would talk about stupid stuff and it felt nice to talk.
Eventually, we started to develop feelings for one another and before we both knew it, we were in love (I know how can you fall in love with someone that you never met let alone not know what they look like?). Not knowing what he looked like or the fact that he lived in Ohio didn't bother me one bit. He was the one person that I can go to whenever I was down and needed someone to talk to. I am fortunate now that I have someone like that (which is James). Three months into talking with one another I decide that we can't go on talking to each other and saying that we love each other if we can never meet and it broke his heart. I felt so bad for doing it, but I knew it was for the best.
Back in I think 2001 or 2002, I was working for the Alumni Center and there was a chance that we (the callers) can call anywhere (and I do mean anywhere) and for some odd reason, I had Lyn's phone number stuck in my head so I gave him a call. Boy was it awkward. He had no idea who I was, but then again, he did. After jogging his memory, the light bulb finally lit so to speak. We didn't speak long but it was long enough just to have a "walk down memory lane". LOL
Now on to the present.....I was on Facebook and I typed in his name and low and behold, there he was! I tried to add him as a friend, but he declined so, I decided to send him a message to see if he remembered me and he did! He was so shocked to see me (because remember, we never knew what each other looked like). And I was shocked to see what he looked like too. To both of our suprises, we pictured what exactly what we looked like to the T! :) To quote him, he is still trying to wrap his brain around the fact that I found him let alone remember him. We are both amazed that we found and remember each other after not speaking to each other for almost eleven years.
This doesn't mean that I am going to leave James for Lyn. I am not stupid. Lyn is someone that I will always remember as someone that was always there for me during my first year in college and for that, I was and still am thankful for that. I always hoped that I would find someone that was just like Lyn (caring, thoughtful, sweet, etc.) and I did. James. He is everything and more. I couldn't thank God for bringing James into my life when He did.
Now that I wrote most of my blog about Lyn, I think that it's about time that I moved on to a different topic...that could possibly the crazy, yet annoyed crab on top of this lovely blog. Trust me, this blog isn't
but, pretty close! :) Oh man, I have to get to bed because I have to work in the morning. Maybe this is God telling me that I shouldn't complain about work. Yea, I am not going to complain about work; there's nothing that anyone can do or say about working with this one particular woman so I am just going to grin and bear it!
Oh! I almost forgot! A week from today (Friday) I am getting new rings! What I mean by that is that I am getting a new wedding band and a new engagement ring! James chose them with the help of me of course and I couldn't be happier. The rings that I have on my finger well, the engagement ring is fake and I didn't really care about it but, James thought that after almost four years of marriage, I deserve something real (since I have complained only once that white gold doesn't look good on me but yellow gold looks much better) so we went to the jewlers on Tuesday and boom! I will be getting my new rings next Friday! I am so thrilled and excited!!! Yeay!!!
Ok, I think that I am done...for now anyways! Have a good weekend and God Bless!
