The Day We Finally Met Face-to-Face

This time last year I was either driving to the airport… on a plane… or at my new home…

Regardless of what time of day it was, it was a life changing day. A day I didn’t see coming, less than 4 weeks before.

My life had already changed, in ways I had never imagined.

Randy and I had been trying to work out a meeting for a couple of weeks. We had discussed meeting half way, just because we wanted to get it over with if it wasn’t going to work. We wanted to know, so we could move on.

But we had also spent hours and hours going over the logistics, because we knew we had so much to figure out if it were to work. Where would we live? How would we support our family? What did we want and what did it look like??

I giggle when I recall the conversations we had in the wee hours of the night.

But this post isn’t about those talks. It is about that day — the day we finally got to meet face-to-face.

I’m actually not going to write anything about it — it was already written; through our photos and texts from that day.

I remember when the flight attendant handed me this napkin, I laughed out loud. Truer words have never been written.
