She told everyone to ask God for something that you want the Lord to do for you. I had a few things in mind but I knew one thing that stood out the most was a husband (trust me I was specific). Not too long after that I was fed up with wasting my time with these dudes and I remember him telling me at work: TO LET GO AND LET GOD! (way before the song came out, now I love that song) I was just going to raise my son, continue school and work. Meanwhile, I totally forgot that I was on this online dating website and days before un-hid my profile after 1 year of hiding it. Few weeks later I received this wink from this dude Bigdreamer (ROTFL boy I should have known then!!) we spoke and then finally met. I am sooo glad you was not CRAZY!! ( I was careful people) You took me out on my first date ever and you completely swept me off my feet. I never knew what it was like to be treated as a queen and you have ever since. I remember you telling me that I was going to be your wife……I thought you were Crazy but you were right! Months later we were in engaged, then J.J. came along…….I remember our first year together we didn’t even argue, not once. Somehow I knew you were the one and you knew as well. On May 23, 2005 we went to the courthouse and didn’t realize we needed a marriage license to get married first (youngins, smh). So we had to wait until July 15, 2005 to save up money to just to get our license and try again. LOL! On July 15, 2005 a Friday afternoon I married my best friend and soulmate. I would have loved a huge dress and elegant wedding; meanwhile I remembered seeing the judge talking to someone they justed booked during our little ceremony (LOL!!) But yeah as long as my Poohbear was there that all that mattered. You know our story was not the exact fairy tale, line by line but my marriage and best friend was sent by God and has been TRULY A blessing in my (our) life. Thanks for letting me be a DIVA, for your prayers, pep talks, a motivator, my protector and so much more. In the past 10 years we built so much together, we lost somethings as well but He has been faithful to us and I am looking forward to many more to come. We going ride this train until the wheels fall off and then we going have to walk. LMBO! It's our story and it all came together by the Grace of God. Who would have thought you where only 1 hour from me, you played against us in high school and played semi-pro football with daddy. You were the entire time. |
