This year October 2022 will be 10 years my wife and I have been married. I remember like it was yesterday, February 14, 2012 which was Valentine’s Day. All was going well at the home front until she received her Valentine’s Day gift. Now, because it wasn’t a ring, she instantly caught an attitude. I mean she was all deep in her feelings. So the day goes on, she wasn’t speaking to me, whenever I asked a question her answers were real short and you can see on her face, in her action, in her talk & walk she was clearly upset. I finally found out the reason she was upset, because she was expecting an engagement ring (like I mention earlier) with a proposal on Valentine’s Day. Fast forwarding the story; we at dinner, her vibe is a little better but I can still tell she is bothered a little, so I’m trying to hold conversations, trying to make her laugh. I could tell she was “putting on for the city”. Finally, our meal came and she ate very little. Then the servers came, cleared and wipe the tables so we could get ready for dessert. Her dessert came..(drum roll please)…on the top of her dessert was her 2 karat diamond engagement ring, me getting on my knees in front of the entire Olive Garden with everyone watching me asking her “WILL YOU MARRIED ME”? She made me and everybody that was in the restaurant wait for almost 20 minutes before she even said…”YES”!!
We said if we ever make it to 10 years we would do it all over again. Guess what? WE MADE IT!! Giving God the Glory for these 10 years and looking forward for another 10 bless years to come. Love us then, Love us now, Love us Forever.
