Tyler talks about how when he first saw me, he knew he and I would end up together, but for me, it was different. See, he most definitely had a crush on one of my close friends, which let me know that NOTHING was going to happen between us. I did think he was cute, but I wouldn’t give him the time of day! We hung out a few times, but I told myself I wouldn’t like him, but he tried, often, lol. He would message me randomly and ask me about my day. He’d say I was beautiful or how he’d wish we could get to know each other better. I wasn’t seeing what he was seeing, but I took the compliments and still didn’t really care much. At the time he wanted to get to know me better, I was trying so hard to find that someone in someone else. I didn’t understand why I wasn’t having any luck. So I prayed about it, and for a moment, I knew I just needed to listen to God's whisper and be patient, so I did, and I was. I began to finally start loving myself, realizing what I truly deserve and what I want in a partner. I knew I needed to wait until God showed me who I was supposed to be with. A year or so went by, and I got a message from Tyler, and for some reason, something was different. We talked and talked, and it was like I knew this was supposed to happen at this moment. We got to know each other, and I ended up finding out how similar we are in so many ways. He’s also patient, kind, reliable, and funny. He is someone who has helped me grow into the woman I am today. He motivates me, encourages me, and shows me how a man is supposed to love you. He’s a great father, and I’m so lucky my daughter gets to see how a man is supposed to treat his soon-to-be wife. Tyler is my other half, and I thank God for him giving me the honor of being with this amazing human being.
