Final Chapter or The New Beginning

I just realized I hadn't finished the "hook up" saga!

So we left off at the Hot Tub and my realization that maybe Melisa liked the boy with the cute butt and I had just harmed a friendship with my bestest Tucson buddy.

I got home that afternoon and if memory serves, I called Melisa and told her that the boy had asked me out and I just wanted to make sure that was okay. She laughed at me. Laughed at me! And then she reveiled her master plan: she designed this. SHE invited the boy out so WE would meet. She had known the boy for years and they were friends and that was it...but she knew we would hit it off.

Here is where it gets good. Melisa knew that if I knew or if the boy suspected that we were being matched up, we would resist...so she didn't tell us! And this is why she is a bridesmaid and the one person in Tucson that knows me almost better than I know myself.



It was one of those moments where the puzzle pieces come together and I stepped back and remembered how genius Melisa is!



So on the 21st of this month, Fi and I will celebrate our 5 years together and like usual, we will toast our matchmaker, Melisa.

you didn't know this billion part series was going to turn out to be an ode to friendship, did you! ;)

...and cheers to the good instincts of a good friend. I'll shake Melissa's hand someday.
