Hubby and I have never doubted fate because of the way we met. During my second to last semester of undergrad, a friend told me about her friend, Steve, and how well we'd get along. She said the same to Steve about me. However, this friend failed to return to school the following semester to introduce us, and at that time, having a cell phone was not an option for poor college students, so we lost touch with her when her home phone was shut off.
So, the semester began, and I figured I would never have the chance to meet this random Steve who was somewhere on campus. One night, a couple of weeks into the semester, my phone rang.
Me: Hello?
Steve: Hi...is this Spring?
Me: Yes...who's this?
Steve: Do you know a girl named Mary with red hair?
Me: Yes...who's this?
Steve: I'm Steve. I think she told us about each other?
Me: Oh yeah...HI.
Steve found my number while looking through the campus phone book for another friend's number, saw the name Spring and thought "how man Spring's could there be?!?!?" And so fate began our journey through life together.
Now fate has once more stepped in to make our lives better. Just when we thought all hopes of becoming parents was lost...the moment when we literally said "so much for that," a very good friend of mine was talking to someone who wanted to know if my friend knew anyone looking to adopt. That someone was our new baby's grandmother, and after meeting her and baby's birthmom, we know now that fate has truly got plans for us!
