"Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a choice, falling in love with you was beyond my control"

One of my students had this quote written on something he was planning to give his girlfriend. I saw it and was very impressed that a young adult could find appreciation in such a quote. I LOVED it and had to write it down, so I thought I would share it with everyone. It pretty much sums up my situation as of now. I never would have thought I would have met Nick where I did. I was born in my small town outside of Pittsburgh and lived there for twenty two years. I never even thought of going into this local "hang out". It wasn't until some old friends talked us into going. When I got there, I was a little weirded out since I knew just about everyone there...except for Nick. He was with a mutual friend that I had not seen/heard from in over a year. So, we got to talking and I totally made the first move by complementing on his shirt...now he knows it was my way to strike up a conversation...juvenile, I know, but it WORKED! From that day forward, I knew I was supposed to be with him. Whether it was in a realationship or even a really good friendship, I knew he was supposed to be a part of my life. So, to make a long story short, this quote reminds me of what happened between the two of us, besides that I think it's super cute!

I just found out today that my subbing job pretty much turned into a perminate subbing job again. I will be working here every Tuesday and Thursday (and a few days imbetween) for the Spanish teacher who had to take a leave. The other three days will be taught by a certified teacher, who teaches at a local college right now, which is why they can not be there on Tues or Thurs. I am excited but it makes my schedule even more hectic....I am now working three jobs (all part time). Hey, it keeps me busy I guess as well as provides me with money to get by!

I also found out that Nick got the job he was hoping for. I am super excited for him, but it's going to take a lot of sacrificing on our part. I totally understand though, because the money is worth it. He has to work wed-sat from either five or eight until two in the morning. This means our weekends together are not going to be often. I probably will be working Sundays, so that day is eliminated as well. He reassures me though, that things won't change...I believe him because he always sticks to his word. At the same time, he also says if we are supposed to end up together, this is his way of saving....which as a girl, I can't argue with at all. This is just going to mean that I am going to have a lot of free nights, so I need to find something that is going to keep me busy! I know Nick and my relationship is different than any other I have had before. The fact that I am realizing that this is the best, and confident that things wont change, and also I'm not freaking out or telling him he cant, I know that there is a strong bond there!

Also, last thing, I forgot to mention, his job consists of him going to local night clubs/bars and doing marketing for a national company. That scares me a little because we all know how drunk girls can be, but I trust him enough to know that nothing is going to happen. I just keep telling myself that this is all for the best, our future...well I am done discussing the few things that's happened lately...HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
