Jimmy and I used to live in a small horseshoe shaped six-plex in Belmont shore... I moved into my place in November of 2009. I met four of my five neighbors but for some reason had never met the person I shared a bedroom wall with...
So that February, my friend's, Cara and Tim, threw a super bowl party and I was there talking to a few girls about the fact that I hadn't meant my neighbor yet, and that the mystery was killing me. I thought it was a sign and that we may be meant to meet. Side note: anyone that knows me, knows that I am a HUGE believer in signs!!! So back to my story.. Based off my comment, my friend states, "Oh Joan, you think you're meant to meet everyone!" Everyone then began to laugh and Julie Kinmartin, Jimmy's sister, walks up and says, "What's everyone laughing about?" I then briefly share my thoughts and she says..."Wait! I think my brother lives near you." I then started to back pedal and she went on to connect with Jimmy and confirmed it. I wanted to die at that moment with embarrassment. Needless to say, Jimmy and I finally met in late March and started kindling a friendship. We quickly learned that we shared similar interests and the rest is history!!! |
