I never thought I would be here, but I truly think that my life was orchestrated in a way that was meant to get me where I'm at.

And I'm so thankful for it.

After my divorce a few years back, I had babies.

My youngest had just turned a year old.

And

I told myself I'm never going to date again.

Like I'm going to focus on them.

And then what do you know, like a few months later, Ian walks in my life and it truly though made sense.

We took things very slow because we are both like, we don't want to date.

We just want to be friends.

obviously feelings came in and the months and months later, it just, it just made sense.

So we took things slow, but we also knew like, okay, we have kids.

We want to do this the right way, this relationship.

So luckily they had met at gymnastics, which is where we met.

Um, so they had already met each other.

So they were already integrated in each other's lives, which is really nice as parents.

Yeah.

So, um,

I had met him 20 years prior.

It's a long story, but... Or long story short, we met 20 years prior at a party.
