I've met so many great ladies through this community. I wanted to start a new "link up" because I think it's a great way to get to know people - and I would love to know more about the wonderful people we connect with.
First topic...
"Tell Me... what unexpectedly changed your life?"
By this, I mean - what's changed your plans? It can be positive or even something negative. Just something that came up unexpectedly in your life that changed your plans.
When I was in my last semester of college, I had just gotten out of an unstable relationship and was determined and very focused on my career. I imagined myself moving to small towns across the country chasing my dreams. Little did I know, TL walked into my life and completely rocked my plans.
In January of 2008, my brother in law told me I should come over to my sister and his house for dinner because a guy from work (they work together) was coming over and wanted to meet me. I was in my casual SFSU sweatshirt and didn't really have expectations. But I won't ever forget seeing TL come through the front door of their home and the instant connection we had. We've never gone a day with out talking since that night.
No man had ever made me rethink my career or my plans of moving. But, there was something about this 6'2", blonde hair, blue eyed guy. He treated me differently and something inside of me knew I couldn't let him get away. I suddenly started questioning my career - and little did I know that staying with him would take me on this crazy adventure we've been on.
{here are a few pics from when we were first dating}
I had the same haircut I have now!

It's been a great journey with this guy - he was definitely an unexpected change... he rocked my world! :)

Awww.... TL is a good man, and I'm so happy the two of you found each other! Love this story Tracy.
As for something unexpected happening in my life, I guess it would be all the moving around I've done since I've been married. I grew up in the same community in Ohio, went to college in Ohio, and never really stepped out. Now, because of Mike's job, we move around quite a bit. It's scary, and difficult at times, but it has made me step out of my comfort zone. I've become more outgoing, and I enjoy different people and different situations because of it.
Great topic, can't wait to hear what other's have to say on this. :)
