5 year anniversary!!!

It has been exactly 5 years to the day when I learned of my wonderful husband. It was Monday, February 9, 2004 and I was a senior in high school. Life hadn't been the greatest for me and I had been going through a lot of depression and emotional hardship. My dad had just been released from being in the hospital about 1 week before and at the same time I had been very depressed from something else that had been on going in my life.
The school counselor pulled me out of class with a simple note and had me come into the office. She could tell that I had been going through quite a bit and talked to me for probably about an hour or so while everyone else was in class. She pin pointed everything that was bothering me and made me aware of something I needed to do. After I got out of the counseling it was just about lunch time and I spent some of my lunch break walking around, crying, and thinking. The day was kind of emotional and wasn't the greatest for me but I went to my next class and then was off to work.
As I was working away in the medical records room I got a page over the intercom. This was a little bit strange because I never got directly paged over the intercom. I answered the phone and who was it but none other than a girl named Ashley. Ashley was a girl that I had only met about 2 times and was the daughter of an ultrasound technologist that I would shadow sometimes.
Well, Ashley proceeded to say that she had been blow drying her hair and it just hit her to set me up with Daniel. She told me that Daniel was a mutual friend of her and her boyfriend Bryan and how nice of a guy he is. She knew I was single and felt that I would be a great girl for Daniel. She was like: Daniel is really cute, dresses really nice, and has brown hair with bleached blonde tips.
She told me she wanted to give him my phone number but only if I wanted to meet him. What a turn around for me! I let her know that her phone call was just at the right timing and that I had been having a bad day. Her phone call was just what I needed.
That night Daniel called me and we spent hours talking on the phone for the next few days. I would go to school running off of only a couple or a few hours of sleep, but I was wide awake and the happiest I had been in months! Daniel and I decided we should meet before Valentines Day (a Saturday), which was supposed to be our first date at the Coyotes game, but we didnt want to meet on Friday the 13th! So we met for the first time on Thursday February 12th and everything was so perfect....we might has well have been living a movie. The only bad thing was that I was having such a great date that I decided to break my curfew and stay out extra late...which my mom was not happy about when I got home.
Daniel and I quickly fell in love over next few months and captured my heart. I am very happy with the life I have been given today and the precious memories we have together. Soon our little boy will be here and we will have even more special memories to cherish and hang on to.
Today I am especially thankful and blessed for the phone call I got exactly 5 years ago.
