I knew from the first time that I laid eyes on Anthony, as he was playing guitar on stage at our church’s singles ministry, that he was going to be someone special. After several “run in’s” over the years (7 years to be exact), the stars finally aligned! Our first date was Halloween 2018 and his first words to me were, “why haven’t we done this sooner?” and here we are!!
Christmas 2019, we woke up early and I made sure everyone had on their matching pajama’s because all this momma wanted for Christmas was the cute family picture in matching pj’s… so I thought! Little did I know, Anthony had other plans for this morning and with the help of his brother Corey, they set up cameras to record his big plan. Little did Anthony know, I like to be the last person to open presents so by the time it came to his big plan, the space on the camera had run out (insert sob here)! But this special morning will forever live in our memories. He created a scavenger hunt proposal. Open this big present, to get to this smaller present and smaller present, with a note to go to a Christmas stocking. The stocking held beautifully written card of which I could barely read because I was so nervous from everyone watching me (now I’m sweating). I knew this was going to be something big but had NO idea he was going to propose, so my last clue was in the small stocking on the tree which read “I hope this was worth the wait” and I turned around and he was on one knee. It was perfect!!
