timing is everything

As another semester flies by, I can't help but think about timing. It's crazy that this semester is over already. I feel like I just moved into my apartment. I still remember my first day of classes- and now I have two days of classes left. It amazes me that this little blog has been around for almost four months now, and most importantly, I can't believe it's been a year since Handsome walked into my life. I remember this time last year, and how infatuated I was with him. I hadn't seen him in person yet, but we'd be talking non-stop for a while and I knew that something good was going to come out of it.

I knew he was a special guy, but if timing hadn't been on our side, I don't think we would be together right now. We began talking in November. He was coming home in January. We talked for about two months before we actually got to spend time together. Within those two months, we learned so much about each other, and I already felt like he knew me better than anyone. He already had a special place in my heart, even though I hadn't been with him. Some people might think I'm crazy for feeling that way, but hey- look how things turned out! 

Anyway, I've been thinking about how lucky we are that he was able to come home in January. I think that there would've been a limit to how long we would've talked without seeing each other. If he hadn't come home in January, I likely wouldn't have gone to Europe, because I mean, who would go across the world to see someone they haven't seen since they were 7...right? The next time he came home was in September. There's no way that we would've talked from November until the next September without seeing each other, at least I don't think we would've.

Basically, I feel very blessed that we started talking when we did and that he got to come home in January. We have such an amazing relationship, and it's crazy that if timing wasn't on our side, we might not be together. It's just another reason that I believe everything happens for a reason. I'm truly so lucky that we get to see each other every 2-3 months, and now that he's back in the states, it's so much easier (and cheaper) to visit. Time is flying by (which is good when were apart), I just hope that when I'm in Montana with him it slows down a little!

  3. Timing really is everything. Reading your post, I couldn't help but think about all the well timed events in my relationship. There were a number of events that might have ended us (or resulted in us never getting together) if they didn't occur when they did. Maybe it's part of fitting together. It's not that two personalities fit like puzzle pieces, but their timing as well.

  5. Timing is everything and things have a way of working out like they should. Sometimes our plan isnt the plan God has for us.

  10. I couldn't agree more! My husband and I have a similar story in that we knew each other from previously, but didn't KNOW each other. We reconnected and began talking on the phone for about 1-2 months before he came home on leave. There was absolutely no denying the connection we felt when he came home. I think it's great because you two were really able to get to know each other and I'm assuming you're like us....you became best friends before anything else. I mean, there's really nothing more that can happen when you're limited to the internet and phones. I'm so happy it all worked out for you! I'm sure it doesn't need to be said but have a blast in Montana! (Don't freeze to death!)

  12. This is so sweet, and very true. Timing means the world when you are in a long distance relationship. But you always have something to look forward to when you are apart.

  14. Aww you're so sweet! My husband and I did the long distance thing for 6 months (U.S. - Canada) before I moved to Michigan to be closer to him. We even did a year apart after we got married due to job situations. Next month will be our 11 year wedding anniversary. Timing is everything, everything happens for a reason and most importantly there is no "normal" way to meet or love someone. :D

  15. Awww beautiful post. I do believe that everything happens at the right time. And you know what? The fiance and I actually met online. We were chatting and we talked on the phone and months later, we met. We've been a couple for 8 years and well by this time next month we are saying our I do's. =)

  16. This is so sweet! Timing really IS everything. Sometimes I have to remind myself that things will happen on their own time :)

  17. What a sweet and thoughtful post! When my now husband and I first met, he was set to move to Italy for 3 months for work. I was completely intimidated by the thought of putting a newly minted "relationship" through that test. We got to know each other through way too many long Skype conversations and started our relationship off on such a strong footing. Everything in life definitely happens for a reason!
