Celebrate us!

So there I was, social distancing, in my home being a good citizen, killing time by scrolling on Instagram, when I came across a profile that intrigued me. Upon further investigation I realized that his beautiful super model was also a minister at her church just like me. She is an artist just like me. So I waited for the perfect moment to attack! A few days after following her page she posted a picture of Christmas lights and expressed her desire to go see some lights in the upcoming holidays. Without hesitation I took my shot. "lets go, I'll take you" I said. She promptly responded "I don't know you" That's when I replied "I'm Omar, now you know me" & it seems like the rest is history. She liked some of my posts, I liked some of hers, we exchanged numbers and started texting. When she found out I lived in a different town 2 hours away she assumed we would never meet in person. I got in my car and drove to Augusta to confirm she wasn't a serial killer. We went to a park and walked and talked for hours. I never found out if she was a serial killer or not but i did realize that not only was she stunningly beautiful on the outside but her soul was the most amazing one I had encountered. At the end of that day I drove her home, but before leaving I made sure she knew i meant business by giving her a kiss. a year later, and many trips back & forth from Augusta, I knew I needed her by my side every day. - Omar Gonzalez

One random day on Instagram, I re-posted a meme saying "Are we going to see Christmas lights or what?" Not really looking for a response this stranger slid up on the post commenting "let's go". I immediately thought to myself that's "cute" but I have no idea who you are. He then introduced himself and we exchanged numbers. Of course, I had to do my investigation on Instagram to see what he was about and to my surprise he was a creator as well as involved in ministry. From the start we clicked and talked/text for hours talking about a little bit of everything. After discovering the distance between one another I wasn't sure how far it would go but we were determined to make it work. By our second date, he had made his promise of taking me to see not only one set of Christmas lights but two! That same night, he officially asked me to be his girlfriend. -Kaylah Christian-Gonzalez
