I had just turned 20 and was working on a research paper for my Clinical Pathology course, my topic "Rabies in Texas". I was living with my aunt and uncle and looked up near by vet clinics, found one and decided to call. I needed pamphlets on Rabies vaccinations/prevention and this clinic I called told me I was more than welcome to pick some up. So my aunt and I got into the car and off we went. I pulled up to Edgefield and found them to be rather busy. I was helped by a sweet girl whose blue green eyes were stunning! Oh just the site of them! I remember thinking how they looked like Christmas ornaments and how I wish mine were such a color. I explained how I had called and was told to come pick up some pamphlets. She looked confused but told me she would ask "Doc" as soon as he was done with his current patient. When he finally came over to talk to me it was very clear.... I was at the wrong clinic! They were very understanding and "Doc" even offered to let me use his library to look up info. Though I only needed pamphlets, my report was already typed up and completed. He then asked if I was bilingual and looking for work. I was both! That following Saturday I went in for a "Test Run" on the job and was hired. That pretty girl with the Blue green eyes is now my cousin by marriage. About 4 months later I was to meet my now husband of almost 12 years while watching "Grease" at Miss Pretty Blue Green Eyes house, Aka Stacey. Nick and I drove by this past weekend after dropping some clothes off at a church donation box. And it just hit us....we met, married and have children all because I drove up to the wrong clinic that afternoon. "See now who says theres no God?" commented Nick. Yes we know he had a hand in this or I would of driven to the clinic I called to begin with, so glad I didn't, so glad we had no GPS back then too! Oh I can't believe I walked in there 16 years ago.....where does time go??
