...definitely unexpected...

2009 was filled with lot's of changes for me! As most of you know, I had gotten engaged around Christmas last year. After close to a year of being engaged, we called it off. It's funny how fast your life can change. To be honest, I felt really embarrassed that it wasn't going to work out. I was afraid to tell people I had broken it off for fear it would be looked at as some kind of a failure. But I don't see it that way at all. Infact, I believe that everything happens for a reason. I feel I am a better person for having been in that relationship, because I grew as a person and I learned more about who I am and what I want. When we called it off I told myself, I'm not looking for anything serious.. I'm just going to work on myself and focus on creating the life I want. Shortly after that I met someone. Someone great. I was on facebook one day looking at one of my student's picture's. That's when I stumbled upon a picture of her older brother. The next day at work I brought it up to her, it went something like this.

Me: Umm Syd! Hello! Your brother is way hot!! Where have I been?! Why didn't I know this?
Sydnee: He is single!!
Me: I am a trainwreck! ha ha

The next day, she came back with some good news.. My brother thinks you are cute! So I decided to take matters into my own hands! I commented on a picture of her's that he was tagged in, knowing that it would alert him. The rest is pretty much history! He added me as a friend, sent me a message and we started texting like crazy! We had a date set up for a Saturday, but he ended up coming into the school on Thursday night to get a micro from Syd. I was soooo nervous to meet him in person finally, because we had so much fun texting that I was nervous he wouldn't like me in real life! We ended up hanging out that night, and then on the following Saturday and we have hung out almost every day since! He is awesome! I am having so much fun, and I'm happy! I feel like I'm 15 again! Getting butterflies whenever I see him! I hope it continue's going well. I figured I should mention it that way when you start seeing him making appearance's on here you won't be lost! 2009 ended much differently then I thought it would. But I couldn't ask for a better ending! Sometimes life is definitely unexpected!
