As if we needed more confirmation
Ken and I spent the evening in downtown Greenville last night. We were finally beginning to let loose, able to ease our minds that Gardner would be fine without us home to put him to bed (he's such a little creature of habit)....our good friends, Ben and Skye, were gracious enough to watch him for the evening.
We were walking down Main Street, rushing so we wouldn't miss too much of Lee's incredible show at Carpenter's Cellar (we didn't make it in time to hear Shua's poetry....we'll catch it next time!). The city was filled with teenagers and college students....they were coming out of the woodwork! It was the most flirting done within two city blocks in history, I think.
As we passed by a group of them, girls done up and giggling, boys, awkward and in preppy golf attire, I overheard a verbal exchange.
"Hi. What's your name again?"
"Megan."
"Megan? Hi. Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you."
We walked a few feet more, then I swung around to look once more at the meeting. I leaned over and said to Ken, "You're going to think this is crazy. Back there, a guy and girl were just introduced, and I had the most random thought. What if....."
I stopped short because Ken stopped in his tracks. He pulled me aside out of the mad current of walkers and his eyes widened. "What are you going to say!?" I laughed it off. "I was just going to say that I wondered for a split second if they might be...." As I neared the end of my sentence, I had a fluttery feeling as I read Ken's expression. "...meeting each other for the first time tonight, and they are going to get married one day?" Ken asked. We stood, in total silence, dumbfounded that we'd heard the same conversation, and thought the exact same thing at the same time. We burst into laughter.
Whoa. Freaky. Or not. No, I say that it's just another confirmation that we are soulmates, 100% meant to be together. When you start thinking on the same wavelength, it's certain. We're just a few short years away from completing each other's sentences, I can feel it.
God, thank you for Ken, for how perfect a match he is for me, and me for him. And thank You for reminding us of that in such humorous ways such as this one. You're awesome.
