When are you going to find someone to spend your life with?

Its the question we both heard so often over the years. The question we neither one had an answer to. We were both thinking it just wasnt in the cards for us to find that one person we were meant to spend the rest of our lives with. What we didnt know was that God was working hard on us both so that we were ready for each other. The timing had to be perfect. Well, that perfect timing ended up being during a global pandemic. This meant we would spend hours upon hours talking on the phone and getting to know each other. There wasn't much sleep but it was worth it. We got to know each other very well in a short amount of time this way. Immediately, I was at ease with Cameron. I felt like I could tell him anything and he was listening. He made me laugh. He made me happy. Ive always been happy but this was a new happy that I didnt know before. Our first date was outside of a Cracker Barrell eating in the rocking chairs on a checkerboard table. I was nervous to break the Covid rules but Cameron, of course, was not. He bowed his head to pray over our food and my heart melted because its not something you see often but is something that I desperately wanted. We drove through Summerville with music on and talking and then walked through Target. Covid definitely made it difficult to date but it did make us stronger. By the second date, I met his parents. The third date, I met the rest of his family. The fourth date, he met mine. The feelings came quick and I wasnt sure what to do with them but whatever these feelings were, I wanted more. I wanted more time with him, more conversations until the wee hours of the morning, more road trips to nowhere. It didnt matter what we did, we just wanted to be together. For so long, we waited for each other and didnt even know who it was we were waiting for. God prepared us for each other. Maybe were both a little stubborn and it took God a little longer than the questioners expected but it was Gods timing and it was the right timing for us. It took a pandemic and the world shutting down to bring us together but our story is ours and one that we love. We are so happy to spend the rest of our lives navigating the twists and turns of life together. Finally we have our partner, our friend, our confidant, our everything. We waited a long time to find it but it was worth it. We recreated our first date on our front porch with the rocking chairs and the checkerboard table to remind us that no matter what the world brings, were in it together.
