We're getting married!

We crossed paths again after more than 10 years on the night of July 5th. We exchange numbers and met the next night at South Street Bar and Grill. We had some beers and listened to reggae while catching up on each other's life. Ruben walked me to my car gave me a sweet kiss on the cheek. We felt a very strong connection and we knew we wanted to keep seeing each other.

Our relationship has deepen more through these four amazing years as we centered it on God to build our family with our four boys - Anthony, Javier, Marques, and Isaac.

During our Pilgrimage to Portugal, Ruben found the most perfect spot near the Basilica of Fatima in front of an amazing heart sculpture. He got down on one knee, and holding my hands he asked me to marry him. We could not ask God for a more perfect moment.

Lord, we pray that we will not only see You, but seek to serve You, in the way that we live and the way that we love. Amen.
