This morning, my husband reminded me that twenty seven years ago today, we (me, him, and many co-workers from were we worked then) went out for a coworker’s birthday at a bar called Maxie’s. That is where and when we ended up getting together, lol. He was freshly divorced and I was over being timid and shy, over my unrequited love. Ready to party!
I wasn’t looking for another love so soon but I was ready to get out there and start dating. Single and ready to mingle, lol. I had kept myself away from people because of my depression and lack of confidence, especially when dealing with men. Well, I was perhaps a little too picky too, looking for a unicorn: the perfect man, and one to just show up on my doorstep. By 1999, I was over those perfect ideals, realizing that I’d be waiting forever if I didn’t get over myself and get out there. I was definitely, finally, ready for what life would bring me, and life brought me my husband. ❤️ It happened so quick. I was just interested in hanging out but we had such a good time together and he made me feel so safe and loved and special, how could I resist? By June we were a couple, and by September of ’99 I had basically moved in with him.
