On November 27th, 2020 my life changed forever - I met my soulmate for the first time ever. We talked for a few months before, shoot even facetimed but we had never met. I remember getting on the Facebook #skoolie group "skoolie singles" and making some careless post about how no one is actually down to live this lifestyle. Then there was Alex, one of the numerous men to question how that is because they were sooo down. No one stuck out but him. His profile picture was him playing his guitar in a field - ooof he was cute AND could play the guitar? That was such an eye catcher from the jump. He also had a pup named Paco and I LOVE doggos. I began messaging him. We discussed this #buslife lifestyle and how we came in tune with this style of living. It felt like a dream meeting someone who was just as intrigued as this lifestyle as I was. It was like it was fate from the jump. He then proceeded to tell me he had already purchased a bus and did some minor renovations (those renovations would later be Incredible transitions) and was still in the process of making it his home. We talked for a few months getting to know each other more to see if it would be a good match for the both of us. About after 2 months I began to get impatient so I messaged him and said "Im flying up this weekend." He was caught off guard as he was trying to still gather his life from his breakdown he had a few months prior, but I was here to FIX that. A few weekends later, I had booked a flight to Nebraska! 1000 miles really couldn't hold us apart now. I made this leap to fly to meet some guy I had never met. I couldn't wait any longer, I didn't want to be falling for a guy if I never met him to see if we would actually be a good pair. Everyone thought I was crazy, people always shook it off like it wouldn't work or was just more scared of my safety. I always replied "come on its such a me thing", "my soulmate would definitely live way out of my reach come on now lol" lord mercy was I so happy I took that leap. On November 27th 2020, I took a flight with two layovers - Ohio and Colorado. It was so nice honestly because I had never been to either states. It was also crazy to experience multiple time change differences especially going through them on the airplane. I landed. I was so anxious and scared. What if I meet him and im stuck to deal with him for three days, what if hes a serial killer. As soon as I got off the plane and saw him, everything fell right into place. I felt so comfortable and not even nervous anymore. On those three days we adventured like crazy and got to know each other more personally since we weren't just strangers online anymore. I fell for him SOO hard. Not only was this man so spontaneous and adventurous as me but he was sooooo sweet. I had to fly home three days later, not knowing if once I got home that I would be blocked. I wasn't. Time passed once I got home and I got so impatient on knowing when I would see him again. We began discussing him moving his entire life halfway across the country in just a school bus. We honestly did not even know if it would make it down here or if it would be a good trip down. I began to get impatient - I just wanted to see that perfect smile again. Then on January 13th, he left Nebraska during a blizzard. It was 80 degrees and sunny in Florida so I was so shocked it was a blizzard happening and he actually decided to fight the storm. On January 20th, he arrived here in Florida. We met at a Wally world parking lot and I can still remember how I felt when I saw what would be our first home together. I remember being so nervous, so scared at first. This guy I had only seen in person for three days really just moved his entire life across the country for me. No one had ever done anything so crazy for me like that before. I knew he was my soulmate then. We spent our first night in our first home, our school bus, that night. The next day we drove it to the property in Florida that we will stay at until our build is finished. It is a whole process but we are so excited for this path we have been and will continue to follow. I am so happy we took that leap of faith to meet even after knowing the distance between us. I fell for that crazy cowboy and this, this is how it all began.
