Someone asked me if I was glad fate brought Shane and I together and I had to say that I don't think fate played any part in it. Everything that happened in our relationship (and I believe, in life) is a direct result of choices we made. After I lost my job, I chose to apply at the hotel, he chose to ask me out, I chose to accept his invitation to dinner, and I chose to get over my insecurities and take what he offered me. I don't think it was fate, I think we just knew we had something really, really special and had to persue it. I have to say, it was the best decision of my life. I think life is like those Choose Your Own Adventure books and you decide your own destiny.
