All roads converge

Sometimes I like to think about all the things that had to happen in order for Terry and me to meet, fall in love, and end up where we are now. It may seem easy, but it's amazing how it all came together. Somehow, we both had to end up at UCLA. While a decent student in high school, I wasn't exactly the 4.6 GPA you see applying to today's colleges. Terry was a phenomenal student in high school, earned a full ride elsewhere, and somehow felt that UCLA was the best choice.

Somehow we both had to apply to the Orientation Program in the summer of 2006. I had already been a counselor the year before, which never would have happened if an ex-boyfriend hadn't wanted the position. I went with him to the information meeting, applied, and loved the job, so I applied again the following year. Terry, on the other hand, never would have applied if he had stayed on the UCLA Football team, which he walked onto his freshman year. I am so grateful he opted for Orientation instead!

Of course, there are a million other little things that had to happen to get us here. Every now and then I like to think about that and give thanks for those million things. I know we work hard at our relationship and that we have a lot of say in our future, but I have no doubt that there is another force at work here. We were made for each other!
