This is where it all began...


So the story goes that we met through a mutual friend who I was dating...this guy was in one of my business classes and one day approached me after class and asked me out. Well, I said yes...and good thing I did. No, this guy wasn't Brian, but because of him, I met Brian. Brian was friends with this guy and we were out one night at the same place and I ran into him and Brian. So Brian and I became friends and figured out that we lived next to each other...you know when you meet someone you at first make small talk and get to know them. We started talking and figured out that we lived next door to each other in the same apartments in CS. Not right next door, but our buildings were right next to each other on the pool. So from my apartment, I could always see if Brian was home or not. But the strange thing is before I met him, we had never seen each other in passing. You would think that one might cross paths living in the same complex. Nope, not us. So the only reason I am so thankful that I dated this other guy was because Brian and I became really good friends, and well, you know what happened... the rest is history.
Saturday we went back to our old stomping grounds with our dear friends, John and Maranda who invited us to get away and go to the game. Now, here's another weird coincidence...John and Maranda went to A&M....they were in the same Sunday school class, at the same church as us, knew the same people and we never met. Impossible you say? Yes, I thought so years later when we put it all together. So it turns out that Maranda also was a business major at A&M, like myself, and we passed each other in the business school, but were never friends. John played at A&M...After graduating, we both end up at the same place AGAIN. She was in my class at Region IV taking teacher cert. classes- we became friends in class, talking occasionally. Well, class ended and I got a job at the same school I am at now. Here she comes walking down the hallway one day at my school. She was got hired as a long term sub her first day and eventually hired as part of my team, until last year when she left to stay home with Jake. Here's these two love birds...



So, it is all because of Aggieland that our lives have worked out this way. I know, it's weird... (it wasn't only Aggieland, yes, I do realize this.) I always think of that quote " Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous." He defintely had a thing or two to do with putting all this together!
