The million dollar question…”How’d you meet?” The answer to that is simple! One simple Facebook message 🙂 I think the new hip verbiage is “he slid into my DM’s” hahaha.

But seriously…Facebook is seriously how we started talking. He sent me a message randomly and from then on it was like I couldn’t not talk to him. I looked forward to seeing his name pop up on my phone, I woke up texting or messaging him and fell asleep the same way.

A little back story (which I do not condone)…at the time Cameron sent me a message, I was seeing someone. We’d been dating roughly a year and I was too a point where I wasn’t 100% happy, but didn’t want to “hurt his feelings”. Then Mr. Cameron comes along and turns my world upside down. I was the happiest when I would talk to him. I found myself avoiding my soon to be ex, talking to Cameron all the time and basically spending all my days thinking about or talking to Cameron. Looking back (which trust me I know I was wrong), I should have just ended things with the current boyfriend and not been so worried about what others would think if I broke up with him. I was scared to be “that” person. I’d never really broken up with someone before and let me just say, I was terrified to do so. It’s not like the poor guy would’ve hurt me or yelled at me, it was just a situation I wanted to avoid like the plague. Sounded better in my head all those years ago lol.

Fast forward a few weeks of talking to Cameron and being absolutely drawn into him, it wasn’t fair to him that I still had a boyfriend dragging along and kept talking to and seeing him. Ironically enough, Cameron actually stopped talking to me because of it and I can’t say that I blame him. It wasn’t fair to him. It was the worst week of my life…seriously. Or so it felt like it at the time.

I knew in my heart I wasn’t happy with the guy I was currently with and I kept telling myself, why would this guy who doesn’t know a thing about me just come along and swipe me off my feet for no reason? Like there is a reason he came along!! I eventually (after a couple drinks and a self pep talk), broke up with the guy I was seeing. It went about how I imagined it would, but I felt so much better!!

Now the next phase to tackle…convince Cameron to come back lol WHICH was easier said than done. My annoying persistence worked out though!! He finally started talking to me again. And I will tell you, I worried he wouldn’t!!!

There are people who come into your life for a reason. Cameron was one of those people. I am thankful he came when and how he did. I owe my marriage to Facebook!! Without it, I may not be married to the guy that had me convinced he was going to pilot school haha (inside joke). It’s been an amazing 7 1/2 years with him and I wouldn’t want it any other way.

So don’t ignore the signs life gives you. People come into your lives and people go, but the ones that tug on your heart strings are the ones that are meant to be. Cameron did just that he tugged on these little heart strings until I couldn’t live without him. I couldn’t imagine life without him at all. When we are old and grey, I know that if he goes first I won’t be able to survive without him. I truly believe he is my soul mate! He’s the ying to my yang, the rice to my gravy (I’m the gravy because he keeps us together like rice sticks together) and the Morrow to my last name. I love him with all my heart!!
