We waited on each other for 21 years....allow me to explain....

I'm 38, he's 34. 

During different conversations over the last few years, the both of us realized that our paths had crossed so many times over the course of 21 years!  Happenstance, I think not, perfect timing, you betcha!

To begin with our first time being in the same place at the same time was when a wrestling, excuse me, wrastling event came to the Township Auditorium.  Lex Luger, Rick Flair, The Rock n Roll Express were on the card that night. I was fourteen at the time and my mother had taken me and my sister to the event.  Would you believe that Nik, who was ten at the time, and his dad were there as well.  We made this discovery when some of the same wrestlers came to Blythewood High School and in talking he mentioned that he had attended the same event.  Small world....

Second time... Schiano's, he worked there, I shopped in the mall where it was, all the time.

Third time, while I was in beauty school, I discovered this restaurant, Thai Lotus.  The reason I ate there was because the buffet was first off cheap, contained sushi and was minutes from the school.  Eating lunch there everyday was inexpensive and usually while I ate I read so I never looked up from my book.  During those same years, Nik ate there at lunch, also reading.  Neither one of us would have noticed each other any way, we were too busy blocking out the world, reading and both eating alone.

Fourth time, while he was training at Thai Kingdom, which is off Garners Ferry Road, his trainer lived at Colonial Villa apartments.  Guess where I lived, Colonial Villa Apartments. He drove to the apartment complex everyday to pick up his trainer.

As many times as our paths have crossed, neither of us noticed the other until precisely the right time. 

Here's to the past, the present and our future together and to the world for being so small!
