Here is the whole story....Back in Feb. I needed to get my oil changed. I randomly (or so I thought) picked this place called Star Motors to go to. The men there were so nice and honest and they just seemed like really nice people. While I was there...I told them about Tyler and asked if they ever needed any extra help. He shot me down by saying "were not busy enough to hire anyone else." I was kind of bummed but knew it was a while before Tyler moved so it didn't bother me too much. Well then 2 days before Tyler was coming to visit, I got a call on my cell phone from a number I didn't recognize. The number left a message and much to my surprise it was the owner of Star Motors wanting more information about Tyler. I quickly called him back and explained the situation. Norman, who is the owner, told me he needed someone sooner than the end of July and if Tyler couldn't make it down any sooner, he would have to put an ad in the paper. My heart sank! I thought what a perfect opportunity that is going to waste. I told him I had no idea what Tyler would be interested in but that he was coming into town on Monday if they wanted to meet. Well, sure enough Tuesday morning Tyler and I sat in Start Motors at 8 in the morning. As I was sitting there, Norman offered Tyler the job and said how soon can you get down here. Tyler had thought a lot about it and what was one month earlier?! He told him he wanted to give his 2 weeks and then have an extra week to pack, and Norman said, "Deal!"
I think it is so cool to just sit back and take a look at what has happened. The thing we were worried about most, God has taken control of and put opportunities in our path to take. We had no idea that Tyler would actually get a job while down here and him move down here earlier than expected but I just see God's fingerprints all over the situation. He has been at work this whole time, even back in Feb. when I got my oil changed there! It is so cool to see his plan (once again) unfold before my eyes. It is a huge blessing and we are just so excited about everything that is to come. It was a huge lesson in God's timing vs. my own timing. I can make plans until I'm blue in the face, and don't worry I do, but they mean nothing compared to God's plan. His timing may not have been what we were thinking, but I know it wouldn't be happening if it wasn't suppose to. To all in all....Tyler has a good, decent job and he is moving here on June 3!!!!! What a crazy time in life this is.
So needless to say we had a wonderful time together. It was a lot to take in at first, but after processing everything and having time together, we both are really excited about the future. It is also crazy to think about that this was our last "visit" to see each other. Tyler and I have been doing long distance for 4 years and "visiting each other" had become a regular. However, now that Tyler is moving here....LONG DISTANCE IS OVER!!! Finally, what we have been waiting for! I am so happy that this was his last "visit to see me." Here are a couple pictures from his trip...
BEAR Update: Bear loved his dad being in town!! He was a little shy at first, but after the first night, Bear would not leave him alone! It was so cute to see them interacting and Tyler and I would just sit there and watch Bear and laugh. It really was a lot of fun.
