If you have been following my crazy life you know I was doing the online thing but had decided to give it up. I'll tell you I met some very nice guys...but I met some very "interesting" people as well. Oh I have stories. Once I met three different guys in one day. hahahaha. Just for coffee or dinner. It was fun. I kept my sister and her friends entertained for the day since I used her as my check in person. One guy rode his bicycle to a date....and he tipped $3 on a $47 check. He also admitted he had been to prison before. Yikes. I did meet a few really nice guys. It just wasn't there. At one point I told my friend that if Online Dating has been popular before I would have never gotten married. LOL. Wrong. I went out with one guy. I was not interested in him but he kept bugging me. I tried to like him. One day I was telling him I went to this new church. He said, "Good, maybe you can get right!" Really? Anyways....if you read my last blog post I said I was giving up with the whole online thing. It was safe for me because I never had to get serious or even think about my feelings...because I didn't have to. I had decided I really needed to just work on myself. Instead of praying for God to send me someone....I just started praying he'd fix me.
Less than a week after that blog post this happened....
I was at court. Everyone knows I enjoy court. It isn't the same here as it was in Summit County but I do love a good court day here too... So I was at court. It was a busy day. I had a big case that day and I was not able to sit still. Ha. So I was outside the courtroom but just peeking in to see if Judge Cotton was ready for CPS cases. And that is when I ran into Chris. I really almost literally ran into him. Ha. Well I've known Chris for a very long time. Since we were kids. And of course...I have a funny story. Chris lived near my Grandmother. When Chris was a kid he had a crush on me. He tells me he used to hang out with my cousins to find out when I was coming to TN. Well one time I was walking down my Grandma Wright's road and Chris was following me. I swear he whistled at me. He claims he can't whistle. Ha. I know he was trying to get my attention. So I did what any 11ish year old girl should do....I picked up a rock and threw it at him. I have pretty good aim. I hit his elbow. He has a dent in his elbow and he says it is from that rock. I think he is just teasing me. But I know it did hurt because he cried....(sorry to out you Chris). I had seen him a bunch of times since I moved here but there was NO WAY I was going to talk to him. haha. That is until I almost ran into him at court. I had to talk to him and I did. We had a two minute conversation. Later he sent me a FB friend request. I accepted it but sent him this long message about how I am not ready to date and how we can only be friends. Well that didn't work out the way I planned. And I will admit I am glad. Chris is a great guy and I can't wait for everyone to meet him. He is the sweetest guy. And we have a lot in common....it is kinda weird. He has a degree in Psych. and worked in Youth Services. Right now he is a corrections officer at the prison. He has custody of his children. He's a Christian. And he lives in the same town as me. There are only about 2400 people that live in Robbins. He only lives like 5 miles from me. I love it. I am very happy. That is all I have to say about that right now.
