It all started in 2012...Well, maybe even before that! Let me back track you guys first... So Lance and I worked together almost 10 years ago but never spoke to each other. We barely remember seeing each other back then so lets just say we were at least aware of each other's existence lol. Fast forward to 2012. I was fed up with my dating life, and I decided to say a prayer. I prayed to God that the next man he sent into my life to be my husband, and if not, please keep him away. A few months after that, a dear mutual friend of ours made a suggestion to me about a great guy we previously worked with and that I should meet him and give him a chance. I almost said no, but I remembered my prayer and decided to give love one last shot. She put us in contact with each other via Facebook, and while we did not remember each other, we were aware we worked together. After that, we went on a date November 3rd, 2012, and from there we took things slowly to develop a friendship first. 9 months later, August 24th, 2013 he asked me to be his girlfriend at the Barley House in downtown Akron and on July 28th, 2018 in New Orleans, LA he asked me to be his WIFE! We have come a long way all these years, we had our share of ups and downs in life. But through it all, I've always asked God to bless our union and he has kept us strong where we have grown closer and closer, his family has accepted me as their own, and we have become not only lovers but best friends. We never knew it was possible to fall in love with each other more and more as the years go by, and we look forward to spending the rest of our lives together, starting a family and growing old together. My experience has taught me that you never know what plans God may have for you. I was ready to give up on love, and never knew the man I would spend the rest of my life with was right there all along. For all of those that have been there through our journey, Lance and I love and thank you all for your support!
