It has been three years since I met my boyfriend at a gas station. I remember sitting at a set of lights waiting to pick up my ex-boyfriend to take him to the hospital to visit his sister and his new nephew. At that moment, I turned the radio off and looked into the sky and said, "I'm tired of going out with guys who are not good for me. If there is someone out there for me, then send him to me. If not, I'm finished with dating men who are not right for me. Until then, I will enjoy the summer and have fun as a single girl". At that moment, my car started to sputter. I thought, oh great my car is going to stall, its the middle of rush hour and I'm going to be stuck. So I knew there was a gas station about five minutes away where I could put the car, but it was a matter of getting there. I managed to drive into the station before my car died and there was Scott to help me out. When we both realized that my car wasn't going to restart, he offered me a ride home. Now normally, I wouldn't get into a car with a complete stranger, but there was just something about him that made me feel like I had known him for years. When he dropped me off at my house, he gave me his business card and asked me to keep him updated on the car.
That night, I sat on my bed with the phone in front of me contemplating whether I should call him or not just to say thank you. Well I did and he asked me out for drinks for the following week. I squealed with delight when I got off the phone.
The next day, my Mom let me know that she had gone to where I had the car towed and when she got in she decided to try and start it and the car roared to life. So she drove it to our mechanics to see why it had died. They did every diagonistics test possible and they found nothing wrong with it. So that weekend, my mom and I went to a wedding and drove around in the car in traffic and it was fine. No problems.
So needless to say, I believe that it was fate that I met Scott. Of course like most couples we have had our ups and downs but it has been more up then down. So who ever hooked us up, Thank you!
Well, this is the first summer long weekend of the year and I am looking forward to it. This is the time of year where gardening centers are packed with people buying earth and flowers to pretty up their house. It is also the time of year to have beer, bbqs and catch up with friends and basically breath. But to get that relaxation state, there is a lot of running around before hand. So for those of you who are running around, I hope you enjoy the May 24 weekend and have a beer for me. :)
