We reconnected. The timing was right and our heart's were just in sync.

Soulmates

Love at first sight

Everything happens for a reason

That one soul your soul is meant to meet

Because you are best friends

Because you just can't do life without that person

Because you have a child together

Because you got married and took vows

There are a hundred of sayings why two people are together but whether you believe in any of them, there is a reason you are with your significant other.

What I believe is that you come in contact with souls in your life for a reason. You may not know the reason but sometimes the reason is revealed. Like mine. I've met many souls in my life and everyone of them were meant to be there. For me to learn and to grow. To live and feel free. To show me the type of people I need to surround myself with. To have fun and enjoy myself. All these things helped me become who I am today and how I think about life.

Here is a glimpse of why I believe what I do. If certain events and people didn't come into my life, I believe I wouldn't be where I am today. 

Let's back up to 9 or 10 years ago. 

I was in a on and off again relationship with my boyfriend of 4 years at the time. In love and had no one else in mind. We had made plans after graduation for the future and how we thought it might go. 

Alex was in a relationship with one of my best friends and loving his wild life. Probably thinking about parties, girls, and what mud hole to take his truck into next. He read this and said that I was pretty accurate (;

One night. Unknowing about how our future would be today.  We were in the same house and in his truck. I was living life up with my best friends, while he was hanging on his girlfriend ( one of my best friends) and hanging out of his truck window. All the while me and my other best friend were in the back. . We were there together. But not together. On two separate paths of life. With two different people. 

I knew Alex and he knew me. But we didn't really know each other. I don't even remember if we spoke. Maybe. But I don't recall ever carrying on a conversation with him. 

We grew. We graduated. We moved on with our lives. He went one way and I went another. He went down a dark path. I went down a lighted path. He overcame his darkness and I joined the military. He dated and got engaged. I dated and separated from the military. (Sorta).

Now let's go forward about 6 years. It is now 2014. I've been separated from active duty and working at roosters for about a month. When Alex and his friend decide to come there to eat. They were not in my section and I had know idea that this day would be different then any other day.  

I walk by their table taking plates to the kitchen. I notice his face. Thinking to myself. He looks familiar. I know him. Thats Alex, my best friends ex.

Jeez how old is he now? He doesn't look like he's aged a day. As I head back to the kitchen I ask a friend if they remember Alex's last name. One of the girls goes and looks to see if she remembers him. She comes back and says Blatt. Alex Blatt. That's right, yes. 

FYI-- Family and friends-- knowing me before the military I was reserved and quiet. After the military, I became unafraid to speak up. 

So in this moment, if I hadn't gone into the military I most likely wouldn't have spoken to him. This is why I believe everything happens for a reason. The military changed me. Gave me confidence and more independence than I'd ever had in my life. I knew where I wanted to go and what I wanted out of life. 

So in this moment, I was different than before. I walked up to his table and said Alex? He said yes. I said do you remember me? You used to date my best friend. He says yea Kearston, right? Yea. Of course I say, you haven't aged a day since I saw you last. We spoke a few other words and then we said it was nice seeing each other. I probably said enjoy your food or something stupid roosters tell you to say haha. 

But there it was. For me at least. A moment. I had an attraction to him. I never had that back then. Most likely because I loved my best friends more than guys ha and because I was in a so called serious relationship. It could of been because I knew who he was and what he was doing at the time. Either way, there was no attraction or even a thought about him until this day. 

A month or so before I separated I had just started seeing a great guy. It went quick because of timing and distance. It just wasn't the RIGHT TIME. It ended quickly and mutually. There wasn't a thought about starting another relationship. I was focused on work and about to start college again. 

Unknowing that IT WAS THE RIGHT TIME. The right time for my soul to reconnect with the soul that changed so much and deserved my heart. 

Two weeks went by. He made to the first move...that Facebook move haha. Added and messaged me. Of course I accepted. He was a hunk. But I played hard to get for a long while telling him I didn't want a relationship. Ya know( like all Dem girls do. )

Now here we are. 3 years in. Married with a 1 year old. It's crazy to me that he was there in the vicinity of my life where I could see and talk to him but I never did. I seriously believe if we both hadn't had the experiences in our lives we wouldn't have reconnected.

I'm so thankful for Alex. He is seriously my best friend. I'm thankful I ran into him again that one day because my life wouldn't be the way it is today. I wouldn't have him or Kingston. Now we are experiencing this wonderful life together. Since we reconnected, things have been going in such an amazing direction. I probably would have never graduated the electrical program if it wasn't for his encouragement and he probably wouldn't have went back to school if it wasn't for mine. He pushes me and I probably push him a little harder. But I love him so much. On another note. I'm not writing this to make people think we are this perfect couple. We have our moments and many of them where we aren't the best version of our selves. But honestly when I go to bed, no matter what, I always fall asleep thinking of how blessed I am to be with him. And think how crazy it is that we are where we are. Knowing where we've been and experiences we've been through.

We reconnected. The timing was right and our heart's were just in sync. 💙
