Sheila's Story

Life After I kissed a few frogs, I finally found my prince! In the summer of 2001 while living in North Carolina, a friend of mine suggested that I register with Classmates.com to reconnect with old high school friends from Texas. I thought that would be a great idea since it had been 19 years since I left Texas. After I joined classmates.com, I began reading the member list from my graduating class. I came across one name in particular of someone I was very fond of and whom I had always had a crush on in high school. His name was Steve Mays. As I read over his bio again and again, I saw that he was divorced with two children, and lived in Northern Virginia which was only 5 to 6 hours away from where I lived in North Carolina. I could not believe he lived so close to me. I wondered why God would put us so close together when I knew I would always be married to my husband. I started to send him an email, but decided I would wait a while because I knew once Steve saw my name on Classmates, he would email me. Four days later, he did just that. Steve and I rekindled our friendship though the Internet and chatted about each other's lives. Steve would talk about his girlfriends, work, and children. I would chat about my family, my husband and two sons. The Internet chats and emails continued for almost two years. We had gotten to know each other again pretty well. In early September of 2002, after many years of growing apart and finding out of my husbands infidelity, my husband and I separated. I waited a few weeks before I emailed Steve and told him about my separation. Steve had encouraging words of wisdom, and told me that he had been there himself and understood what I was going through. Over the next few ...Expand for more
months, Steve and I spent hours on the computer emailing and chatting online, which moved quickly to lengthy phone conversations. I had passed up two opportunities with him before moving from Texas, and I was not about to let the third chance pass me by! So, we set up a weekend to reunite to see if our feeling were real. Steve and I met for the first time in nineteen years on November 15, 2002, near my home in North Carolina. I walked up to him and immediately we kissed. It felt like we had been together forever. As Sunday rolled around, and the departure time arrived, we were both feeling blue. We didn't want to leave each other. Thanksgiving was soon was approaching and Steve asked me to join him in Northern Virginia. My children were spending Thanksgiving with there father, so I graciously accepted the invitation. That weekend inaugurated a series of weekend trips. One weekend Steve would visit me in North Carolin, and the next weekend I would visit Steve in Northern Virginia. One month later, December 13, 2002, Steve proposed to me. He told me that he knew I was the one he was meant to spend the rest of his life with. A year to the date later, we were married on December 13, 2003, and I have never been happier. Thanks to the good Lord above, and Classmates.com, I found the love of my life and my soul mate. I now knew why God had put us within miles of each other. We now live in Rockwall, Texas close to our hometown. Between the two of us we have four great teenage children. I have two wonderful boys, and Steve has a daughter and a son. I adore them all! Life is never dull in the Mays household! We never know what our children are going to do. And I never know what Steve is going to do...LOL!
