Things like fate happen all around us without our knowing. How would I, Carrie, have ever known that the man I would love, lived behind one of my friends. Chris had seen me going for bike rides, runs and walks, and he decided we should meet and go out for coffee. We met at a Caribou near my house in Inver Grove Heights. It was after his day of work, and before mine started. As I pulled into the lot, he was sitting outside of his car and right away I knew, I knew I should write his plate down and run it later at work ;) The first date went great! We went for a walk and talked, and talked. He sent me a text that same day saying he wanted to see me again! Since that day we have pretty much spent every day we could together.
