Three weeks prior to the introduction... Bill: "She cant be all that, and even if she is, she lives in Utah! What am I supposed to do with that?" Jamie: "Just meet her! Bill: "Fine, but I'm so done with dating!" At the airport about to board a flight Texas bound, four hours prior to the introduction... Rosie: "Wait! Is this a set up?" Jamie: "You're single, he's single, you're awesome, he's awesome. Whatever happens happens!" Rosie: "Whatever, fine, but I'm so done with dating!" Twenty four hours post introduction, sitting in his wrangler after escaping a bbq to find a moment alone... Bill: "I've told you what I want, and I know it's not fair to ask you to make all the sacrifices, but I'm a dad and I'm here for at least 7 more years." Rosie: "I've told you what I want, and If this is it, if you're the one for me, the fact that you don't live in my backyard will not get in my way." And so it began. Two hearts, broken and bruised, but not yet hopeless brought together across time and space. Meant to be? Serendipitous? Or just a very wise, somewhat sneaky best friend named Jamie? They say when you know, you know. We never knew how true that statement was until we finally found each other. Every potential obstacle has magically drifted away. The blessings and miracles have been abundant and flowing. An affirmation to the gift we've been given. Even the distance served to teach us how precious and rare our love story is, reminding us to never take our relationship or each other for granted. "Every long lost dream lead me to where you are. Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars, pointing me on my way into your loving arms. This much I know is true that God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you"
