Life is a series of choices...

(I apologize for taking so long in between updates. Life has been pretty crazy lately.)

Last weekend I faced one of my fears. No, not spiders. No...not heights. Or water. Flying. In an airplane.

The last time I had flown on an airplane I was still in high school, and the flight was a very short one to Chicago with my dad and brother. All I did was follow along as my dad (who is much more experienced in flying) led us through the airport and took care of everything. But this time I was on my own.

But I made it, despite freaking out a bit during take-off the first time (it got easier with each flight).

And at the end of the flight I landed in Kansas City, Missouri. And at that airport was my boyfriend, dressed in a suit waiting for me (he had a sign for me planned out but my flight landed a half an hour early so that didn't happen). And it was the start of quite the awesome weekend.

On Saturday, Matt and I had some time to talk about our relationship. It was a good conversation and one that I think we both very much needed. That night we decided to go to the Chinese buffet in town for dinner. Now, anyone who went to the Chinese buffet in Ashland with me knows that I am a fan of these places. I love the food so much. Yes I am aware that it's the Americanized version of Chinese food. It still tastes good. When I opened my fortune cookie, the fortune read "Life is a series of choices. Today yours are good ones." I chuckled to myself, as I always do when I open my fortune cookies. I read the fortune to Matt and set it on the table, not thinking anything else of it. A few minutes later, Matt opened his cookie and asked me to see my fortune again.

By some coincidence or twist of fate, we had both received the same fortune.

After having our conversations earlier in the day, the fortunes seemed to fit. And for reasons that only the two of us will understand, these fortunes meant much to us in that moment. It was one of those moments where you realize that you are exactly where you're supposed to be at that exact moment in your life.

Those moments are rare. And I was glad to have it with someone I care about.
