Divine Intervention or Coincidence?
Happy Tuesday buddies!!!

Man, this week is flying! I guess by now you are all pretty tired of hearing about my job. I am! 
rn
I do have to say, MAN AM I EVER SO BUSY…But I LOVE it! My days FLY by! Also, I have to rat out someone. This week a young lady, Veronica, is in town from San Francisco to help finish my training. She is super sweet and as cute as a bug (Really, who invented that saying? Since when are bugs cute??)
rn
Anyway, this is her first trip to Ohio. So today, it starts storming really bad, and she TOTALLY freaks out on me…Because its WARM and its storming…
rn
I was like “V” (Thats her nickname) “Chill out girl! Its only a summer storm. It will be over in 5 minutes”…Yesterday she freaked out because it was WINDY and warm…Apparently, she is NOT used to warm weather…
rn
I found out myself while out there that San Francisco is actually quite a bit cooler year round then I had thought. So I am sure that was her thought too, but geesh…The girl is cracking me up!
rn
It has been MOST fun meeting some folks from different states…Broadening my horizons I am!!
rn
Okay…What about the title of this blog?? Arent you guys EVER so curious???
rn
Okay. I will spill my beans…
rn
I have a very very good friend…One of my Jenny’s (remember them???) 
Best friend since 12 years old. She moved out of state last year so I only see her on myspace…
rn
Anyway, we were supposed to go to Chicago this month, but due to my new job, that didnt happen…So I havent heard from her too much, and frankly, I have been rather busy. Too busy for a lot of my friends, sadly…(I AM working on that tho!!!)
rn
So, remember, she lives OUT OF STATE…Okay? Thats important…
rn
So Sunday, I am down visiting my sis. And we all go to lunch…My BIL picks some REAL obscure little mom and pop resteraunt that NONE of us have been too in over 10 years. Seriously…
rn
Not only that, but it was off hours, like 1:30…On Sunday. Father’s Day…So I am sitting there, waiting for my lunch, and in walks Jenny!!!
rn
I was sooo shocked to see her, I almost didnt recognize her. Havent seen her in a year and a half…
rn
We hug. We speak quickly as I am with family and she is with some old old friends of hers…
rn
After wards, I go to say goodbye to her, and she pulls me aside to tell me some things…
rn
Apparently, she was in our old hometown, as she has left her husband after 7 years…Apparenly it was an abusive relationship I was completely unaware of…She said she had desperately been wanting to get ahold of me and wanted to see me soooo bad…
rn
How odd that we would be in the same place at the same time in a town that NEITHER of us now reside in???
rn
It was incredibly bizare, or was it?? 
rn
I like to think God was looking out for one or the other or both of us…I really do…
rn
So thats my little weird story for the week…(You know the drill. Insert the Twilight Zone them here!)
rn
I hope she and her kids are safe and sound. She is to be calling me later this week to touch base…
rn
On a HAPPY note…She thought I looked absolutely wonderful. So that was really cool. I LOVE seeing people now I havent seen for a while. Their reactions are very very funny…
rn
Okay. This week is going well food wise and exercise wise. Damn TOM is even here and i really dont care…
rn
Life is good for Dawnie right now and Damn TOM (Yes, thats what I call him) will NOT bring me down…
rn
Have a great great night friends!!!!
wow, that’s awesome!! so far all i get with people i havent seen in a while is “omg, you got even taller!” lol. sounds like you’re doing really great, keep up the good work!!!
There is no such thing as a coincidence
. Things have a tendency to work out as they are supposed to. It’s great that you got the chance to see someone you haven’t seen in awhile. We all need to work harder on maintaining our relationships, and this blog was a great reminder of that!! 
Ever since becoming Christian I no longer believe in coincidence. I believe that God put you both there at the same time. Glad to hear that you’re doing so well!!!
Wow, that chance meeting was so weird. I wonder what other details she’ll be able to share when you guys spend some quality time catching up.
Glad to hear you’re busy and more than likely enjoying it, right?!?!? 
I love it when we meet up with dear friends unexpectedly. Yesterday, a friend of my DH’s, his wife and child visited—unexpectedly. Our home was a mess, but we were sooooooooo excited to see them. We made plans for Saturday, June 30th…I will prepare them a delicious meal from my native country.
Anyhow….why did I share all that? I feel as if I’m blogging on your blog! Sorry!
About “V” girl, us Californians are very spoiled wheatherwise. Four years ago I took a road trip to Kansas….a storm caught us in Texas….I cried like a little baby….I made DH stop in the first Motel…I didn’t care that it was the roach motel, I just wanted to be off the road. While in Kansas there was another storm and again, I cried like a little baby–my in-laws had a good laugh at my expense! LOL!
you do look beautiful.. and God does that.. puts yall in places for reasons..
oh my SF is quite windy today
I’m thrilled to hear how much you’re enjoying your job! Since I’ve been job searching myself, I’m envious….lol. I’d love a job where I could travel and meet new people!!
Isn’t it great when something pleasantly unexpected happens? I know you really enjoyed seeing your old friend. It sucks that she was in an abusive relationship, but she did the right thing by leaving. Hopefully she won’t make the same mistake so many women do and go back to him.
Anyway, you’re doing a wonderful job and you look fabulous!! Keep up the good work Dawnie…you deserve this!!
Wow, that is definitely strange! You know, I definitely believe that was God’s doing…there was a reason you were both in that place at the same time…
I’m so happy things are going so well for you right now!
Well, I am glad to see that your friend has gotten away for that relationship with her children adn is okay. I have a friend who is in one of those and refuses to leave. They aren’t even married or dating just roommates.
That is good your are meeting to new people. “V” sounds like a very funny person. Good job on food and exersice all week that is awesome. Keep up the good work.
Wow, Dawnie, that is incredible. God works in mysterious way,s don’t ya think? How cool, you can be a great support to your friend. I know by personal experience that the support of good friends makes all the difference in the world! Good for you!
That’s so cool how you ran into your buddy, I love it when cool things like that happen!!!
Also, good for you for not letting TOM get you down, he’s a pain but we can overcome that obstacle!!!
You are looking great!!!!! And your doggie is adorable!
I am also a firm believer that things happen for a reason. It is wonderful that you met up again after so long.
Glad your new job is going so good!
Have and awesome day!
