Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

Last summer I was an employee of Zions Bank, working for their Peaktime Department. Peaktime is the on call employees of the bank, and the job included a great deal of travel. One fateful day, what seemed like just another shift turned out to be a turning point in my life. Because that day, in the drive thru teller window of the West Jordan Branch, I met the most amazing girl. It was on that day, that I met the beautiful Alicia Weir.

To say that Alicia and I's courtship has been a rollercoaster would be an enormous understatement. We've run the gamut of whirlwing stupidity, had a failed engagement, tried to be just friends... It's been quite a rid, but this trial by firs has forged for ms what is perhaps the most powerful, most important, and most wonderful relationship in my life.

There is a cliche that speaks of "falling in love with your best friend," but I can happily say that it's not a myth. Alicia has become my most trusted friend. I can talk to her about anything, I trust her implicitly. Now I will be the first to admit, maybe the second (only because she might beat me to it), that we - fell in love with the idea of being in love at first. What I've discovered, and I feel safe in saying she has as well, is that our breakup, was the greatest thing to ever happen to either of us. It forced us to step back and examine our relationship, examine the things that we truly want, both from a partner, and in our lives.

Being with Alicia, has been an absolute blessing. She complements me where I am weak. Everday I seek to be a better human being, simply because I feel that she deserves the very best I can be. She has, time and again, caused ms to re-examine love, and search for the deeper meaning behind it all. I have had the opportunity to spend time around her family, and I have enjoyed the time I have spent around them. It is my hope and prayer that they can find it in their hearts to accept me. I've got a tough hull to climb after te whirlwind nightmare I subjected them to initially.

This weekend I got the opportunity to spend a great deal of time with Alicia, and to experience the joy of doing normal things with her. She has to have her car towed to a mechanic, and i got the chance to be the "knight in shining armor" and be her wheels to aid the process. We spent the day shopping together, by which I mean I smiled and nodded, and ahe shopped. I got to see her at her at her most relaxed, and it made ne love her even more.

Could it be, that after the long painful search for an eternal companion, that I've finally found mine?

Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps...

So until next time loyal readers, this has been another blogcast of the Rogue Signal. Goodnight, and good luck.
