How We Met

On a Saturday night September 14, 2019, I was invited to a friend birthday party, 3 days before my 42 birthday. I was excited about the party because I had not been out with my childhood friend for our birthday in years. As the party went on, I noticed these 3 guys just staring at the crowd I was in. I was making fun of one of the guy’s eyes with a friend of mine. I kept telling her to look at his eyes he has some sneaky looking eyes. It was something about his eyes. As the night went on, I would look up and notice sneaky eyes staring at me. Around 11:00pm I was getting ready to leave because I had to be at the airport at 6am. I was saying my goodbyes walking to the exit to leave. Guess who was standing by the door “sneaky eyes”. I walked past and hit him on the shoulder and said goodnight. I proceeded out the door to walk my friend to her car then got in my car. As I am about to pull out the parking lot someone was making a gesture for me to stop, “Sneaky eyes”. I stopped rolled the window down and asked him, “what’s up”. He asked for my number, I gave it to him and left. I did not think much of it but I received a text by the time I landed in Texas. Good morning beautiful. I responded with a good morning &thank you! Sneaky eyes name is Elijah. He called me on 9/15/2019 and we talked for hours on the phone. He asked if he could take me to breakfast for my birthday, I agreed. Once I made it home, we went to breakfast on 9/17/2019 which was our first date and have been inseparable ever since. We talk for hours, laugh, dance, play games and really enjoy one another company. This guy Elijah is the best friend I never had. He is patient, kind, considerate, loving, compassionate not just towards me but to others as well. When he asked my hand in marriage, I had to ask God to help me not to become selfish with sharing him with others. I am so grateful and blessed to have him as a life partner. His level of integrity can’t be matched.
