love match

happy heart day!

my sister told me about this valentine's contest called "the sweetest story ever told sweepstakes" offered by godiva chocolate and nicholas sparks.  although whatever was submitted as our sweetest love story had no influence on the chances of winning (or was even required), i decided to write my own story about how my husband first met and got together.  below is my entry.

Love Match

A firm handshake.  A polite greeting.  A look, a smile. In that instant, I knew he was special.

Love at first sight?  Perhaps.  But I didn't believe in that anymore.  Plus, I wasn't exactly free.  I had history with someone else, and no matter how mixed up I was about what all those years added up to, it was a problem I had to solve on my own.  And so, we would be coworkers, and eventually friends.

A special friend.  Someone I looked forward to seeing every morning.  Someone who left me notes and messages.  Someone who made me laugh.  And finally, someone who wouldn't settle for just friends.

As a girl who had always planned everything to the last detail, I didn't plan for love.  Yet love had a special equation for me, and he was my solution.

By the way, my husband is great at math.

love you, hubbie.
