#saturdayff : In early 2006 I was having difficulty getting over a breakup with a girl I thought I would eventually marry. We had been broken up a while, 9 or 10 months I think, and I still wasn't over her. Still not giving up hope I decided to go on a birthday trip to Texas to see me former college roommates. I wanted to see them but my...

ulterior motive was to see her (and try to win her back maybe?). Since the breakup she had moved back home to Texas. I hoped to see her on my way back to Memphis. Anyway I was not in a very good place emotionally. I remember driving and busting into tears when Brian McKnights "One Last Cry" came on my iPod on the drive down. I was so lonely and had it in my head that if I could just get her back everything would be okay.

When I got to my friends' house they lifted my spirits. We had a good time. I milked a goat. It was definitely the most unique birthday experience I've ever had. The weekend went by and I ended up not calling my Ex. I'm not really sure why. Something told me it wasn't the right time. I drove through Dallas (where she lived near) and kept on going back to Memphis.

The closer I got to home the more I felt the old loneliness and despair creeping back in. Little did I know the gears were already in motion for me to meet the love of my life, the person I was truly meant to be with.

A couple of weeks before the birthday trip in a last ditch effort to try to find someone to stem the loneliness I made a profile on Yahoo! Personals and paid for 3 months of premium service. If at the end of 90 days I hadn't found someone I'd give up and resign myself to being alone forever. About a week after posting the profile I got an email from this cute dental student. She had a great smile and beautiful eyes. She said she really liked my goofy profile and seemed interested in me. I wrote her back but didn't hear anything back.

I figured it was just my bad luck and proceeded with my plans for my birthday trip. Fast forward to about a week after I got back from Texas. I get a message on MySpace from the girl from Yahoo. Thank goodness I used the same picture for my profile on both sites. She tracked me down! She only had a free account on Yahoo! and couldn't reply to my reply to her initial contact email. The girl was Kesha. 8 months later she became my fiancee. 8 months after that she became Wifey. 8 years later we're still together and are the proud parents of wonderful 20 month old boy. It's funny how life works out sometimes.

That took way longer than planned. Was distracted watching Wisconsin knock off Kentucky. What a game!
