Our Time Has Come!!

We first met during the NBA playoffs in the DC area at a TGIFriday's. I (Monica) decided at the last minute that I would meet some of my friends from Howard there and celebrate them finishing up their graduate program. It’s crazy how it all unfolded because I worked at two jobs that day and was going to tell my friend that I would meet them another time. Well, she kind of insisted that I come and that they would wait on me to get there. So I sucked it up, went home, showered and got dressed to meet them. This TGIFriday's at the time was more of a party-like atmosphere. It was lots of people tuned in to the playoffs, lots of high energy, music, and I even caught a glimpse of a spades game going on at a table. Not your ordinary Friday's restaurant by far! When I got there, Craig and his friend were sitting with my friends watching the game. We mixed & mingled and hit it off from there. The rest is history! We were friends for a good year first. That following year, I was planning to move to Atlanta. We had a long talk around that time and decided that we would date exclusively, even with it being long distance. We dated and traveled frequently to see each other. Although it was totally unplanned, when we found out that I was having the twins, we both rolled with the fact that we weren’t bringing one, but TWO babies into the world soon! Our love for our children definitely tightened our bond together. Our love story has definitely had its ups and downs. But staying faithful to God and trusting that our time would be just that, OUR TIME, has definitely helped strengthen our foundation. Our story may be different from so many others, but that’s ok because the time is here now! We are truly in love, happy and looking forward to a great future and lifetime of wonderful memories and joy!
