My modern love story

     OK so my husband and I knew each other in high school but we never dated back then.  God knew what he was doing because I know I would never have stayed with him.  He was a very active dater back then. lol!! I was no angel but you know...  Anyway, so 4 or 5 years go by and my best friend meet and married a guy named Lance.  I was over at her house one day helping her do laundry.  I took the folded laundry into her bedroom to put it away and there on the dresser was a picture of Lance and Shawn.  I had known Lance for a couple of months and I didn't even know he had a brother.  I took the picture to Brooke and asked her how the boys knew each other and she said " That's Lance's brother Shawn."  I was so excited that I had a way to get in contact with the guy that I felt I let slip away.  Umm I think I forgot to mention that I was married to my first husband at this time.  My first husband was a big mistake but we live and we learn.  So Brooke and I put together a big party for the following weekend so that I could reconnect with Shawn and see where he was in life journey.  During that party I found out that Shawn was also married to his first wife who I think he would agree was his biggest mistake as well.  Flash forward another 2 or 3 months.  My first husband and I just could not make it work.  Its hard to make it work when he just cannot find it in himself to stay faithful.  I really thought that if I was a good wife that he would be faithful but I quickly learned that no matter what I did he was the problem.  So I ended that marriage to keep my sanity.  Little did I know that Shawn was going through the same thing with Wife #1.  We ended up separating from our first spouses within weeks of each other, and Shawn moved in with his brother and Brooke.  I was always over at Brooke's and so needless to say we got to see a lot of each other over the next few months.  One day I was sitting over there and Brooke's cousin said she needed to talk with me.  Of course I said sure and she proceeded to tell me how she was attracted to Shawn and how she knew I was attracted to him too.  I told her that she was right that I did like him a lot.  I had no idea where this was going but I remember thinking that this was not good lol.  Anyway so she says "When we go out tonight I am going to make my move."  Well I honestly thought that Shawn liked her so I agreed to back off and went on with My day.  We get to the club and the cousin forgot her ID.  Needless to say I took full advantage of this opportunity and Shawn and I had a lot of fun that night and we have been together ever since.  I know that Shawn is my soulmate.  I am so thankful for everything that God has provided me.
