OT: Reconnected w/an old friend....
Good Morning! I know some of you know that earlier this summer I was trying the whole online dating thing and it really did not go so well for me and so I had decided just to let things be while I am going to school. Well last week I sent out an email to several friends I had not seen or talked to in close to 3 years due to the split between my ex and I. Well one of the people I emailed was a very dear, close friend and he responded to my email exstatic to hear from me as he had been told by his ex who talked to my ex that I had moved into a convent last year and that no one had any way of reaching me. So, to hear from me and the transition I have made he was absolutely amazed. We got together Saturday morning and spent all morning catching up on what had transpired over the past 3 years in each of our lives, and I was happily suprised to find out that our connection is still as deep as it was 3 years ago, it seemed like no time had passed since we last saw one another. When he saw me on Saturday he told me that the pictures and video from TCL did not do me justice and that I was gorgeous....I still have a hard time accepting compliments like that, I am really wondering if I will ever be able to wrap my mind around the fact that I am not who I was a year ago. 3 years ago he was my rock, the only one I trusted to help me through some of the darkest times in my life and I had really missed him. We also have both have feelings for one another, but we are not going to rush into anything, but rather take things slow and see how they progress. We are both praying to see where the Lord guides us in this as we both believe that the Lord brought us back into one another's lives for a reason, but we have also learned not to try and override God's plans, because it always backfires. He is a true southern gentleman (he grew up in Tennessee) and I have really enjoyed spending the past two days with him. He completely understands and respects the fact that my school work is important and has offered to help me study and to help me get through statistics next semester....which I have heard is quite challenging. I just wanted to share some happy news with you all....I never thought that this year could get much better, but this weekend it did.
Have a great week everyone and stay warm!

Thank you! Yes it is great to have someone like him back in my life, he was one of the few people from that time in my life that I really missed and wanted to reconnect with. I am just amazed at how God works sometimes!
Take Care!

There is just something so joyful about reconnecting with an old friend. I have not met you in person, but you seem like a sweet, intelligent, introspective, caring woman. Those qualities probably drew him to you before, but your respective life cir****tances kept you at arm's length. With the astonishing physical and emotional transformation you have accomplished this past year, it is no small wonder that he enjoyed spending time with you this past weekend. No matter where things go from here, I hope you realize that you managed to bring yourself to this happy time in your life.
Good luck,

Thank you! Yes, no matter what the outcome of this reconnection is I am very happy that it has happened. I hope to meet you sometime, do you ever attend the MG coffee group? I know that I need to get up to one sometime soon, so perhaps one of these days we may get to meet!

Imperfect does not = unsuccessful
