The Day I Met My Prince Charming

When I first met Mike it was early fall of 2000, when I first started working at Target. I was a level one in woman’s clothing and Mike worked back in electronics. The first time I saw him was a Saturday night when I was working my way through the sales floor trying to get my department clean. Mike came up the main isle at Target and time stopped for me. No lie! I saw Mike walking down with one of his friends talking and smiling. The only think I could do was just stand there and stare, he was everything I wanted in a man. Tall, dark, handsome, a smile that can melt butter. The only problem I had was I wasn't single at the time, but I knew that he was the one. I went home that night and told me mom “I met the man that I am going to marry” My mom looked at me and laughed. She finally looked at me and said “Ok fine, you met your future husband? What is his name?” I looked at her and said “I have no idea.”

It wasn't until three years later that we started seeing each other. I knew Mike was the one for me... I remember a couple of months after we started to date, me and my family went to church Easter Sunday for service. In an Armenian church service we take couple of minutes in the middle of mass to pray and repent. I am sitting there with my head down and my eyes shut, and I started to talk to God. I asked him for some kind of a sign to show me that Mike was the one. You see I had just gotten out of a three year relationship the past year, and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to give my heart to someone else. I’m asking God for some kind of a sign or anything to show that Mike is the one for me. Right as I was done, my cell phone starts to ring in the middle of mass. I usually turn my phone off before entering my church, but for some reason that day I had forgotten. The ring tone was Mike’s ring tone, and it was then that I knew I was meant to be with him for the rest of my life....here we are four years later more in love then ever.
