That Life Changing Moment

Todays Topic: Describe a distinct moment when your life took a turn.

This may sound completely corny, but a life changing moment for me is the day I met my husband. I knew before I even met him that there was something different about him. We had just connected so well in our conversations through email, texts and over the phone the months leading up to our meeting that it was surreal when we first met. I remember being nervous about expectations being too high, both his and mine. I was worried that our physical connection might not be as strong at first as the emotional one that had already developed.

Yet, when we met....it was wonderful. You could tell that we were both nervous but were able to converse and be ourselves. I don't think that either of us had ever been loved fully for who we are by someone else. We both can completely be ourselves around each other. We accept each other for our strengths and our flaws. 

I realized that I had never been in love or truly happy until I met Chris. To be honest, before we met...I had started to think that true love didn't exist. While life still likes to give us some lemons along the way, I have a partner to make lemonade with. I have someone to be silly with. I have someone who cares about the little randomness of my daily life. A partner in crime.

It is life changing to be in a relationship that is real and based on a solid foundation of  love. It has given me a confidence in who I am as a person and to know that I have someone who is so supportive. My life has never been the same, in a good way!
