My journey started months ago when I finally had the courage to "ask1". I was vouched for, applications filled, introduced myself, and waited for someone to call. I finally got the call from a guy on the investigation committee who booked a meeting for tonight.
Holy Moly, I haven't been this nervous in years since my first job interview or asking the now father in law for permission. I sent the kids packing with grandma so my wife and I could have uninterrupted time to chat with the guys. We put coffee on, cookies and snacks out and cokes in the fridge.
Right on time, the doorbell rang and 3 strangers came into my home. After greetings and handshakes we settled into my living room. Immediately we all began chatting about nothing and I knew I was in good company. These are exactly the stereotypical good men that I have thought to be masons. After an hour of laughter and great Q and A I have never been more excited to join such a great fraternity. I was nervous and stressed for nothing.
Now it all comes down to a few black balls in a bowl which I have no control over. So, if anything, I feel like I have already learned a few things about myself so far, and my journey has just started.
