Andy's Last Blind Date

My friend Susann called me up about 4 weeks ago and spoke those dreaded words, "I have someone I want you to meet." I had decided that I was not going to go on these anymore but something told me that I should give it one more try. I decided that I would go to be nice. So I put on my nicest U2 t-shirt and headed on over for my Valentines Day adventure.


I had fun that night and did not want to leave but there was really no sparks, just a very comfortable evening at Susann's house. We had a giant heart shaped brownie that was yummy and a great time playing Uno (yes, this is living la vita loca). As I watched her drive away I felt hope in my heart and a nagging voice telling me that I had not gotten her number.


I never would have guessed that 19 days later I would be sitting with her in the Celestial Room of the Seattle Temple with the Spirit burning so strongly in my heart that I was looking into the eyes of my Eternal Companion. Miracles do happen; I watched one that Tuesday evening as our hearts changed, our vision cleared, and I heard the song of my Beloved for the first time, again. So now I am engaged to Constance, my world has turned on a dime, my life is a bit more cliche but I will take this great miracle any day. In fact, I have been searching for this miracle for the last six years. I can hardly wait to see what great things come next!
