I had recently moved to Dallas, and was adjusting to life and career in a new city. Excited about leaving failed relationships and the repeated counterfeit oneness; I asked GOD to not allow anyone else but my husband approach me. If he wasn't my husband, then keep him out of my path, because I was just about done with the "Ishmaels'" coming in and out of my life. It was the day before Thanksgiving I was preparing to travel back home to Shreveport for the holiday weekend before heading to New Orleans for Bayou Classic. There was a status "game" on Facebook that asked "What was your first impression of me" Comment below if you want me to answer. I rarely participated in things like that to begin with, but I was bored because it was a ghost town at work and decided, why not? I did, and Anthony comments below. I was honest and replied that my "first" impression of him was "Who is this guy?" It truthfully was my first impression, but not in the way you'd think. Rewind a few years.... Anthony knew both of my little brothers well before we crossed paths. The oldest, Nicholas had developed a relationship with Anthony through NLYE. I recall Anthony commenting on one of Nick's pictures on IG. He in essence was encouraging Nick in some sort of "Tom Foolery" at the time and I was like...."Um who does this guy think he is? Boy does he have some nerve (me profusely rolling my eyes). Nick had to explain to me who he was, but I wasn't having it. The year before the "DM" I ran into Anthony at church because our church had been guests at his church a couple of times within that year. We would exchange pleasantries and even became friends via social media. I had inquired of his relationship status, and had learned that he was in a relationship. Of course for me after learning that, he was off limits. Fast Forward.....I guess he assumed I would say something much different. He then DM'd me and asked what was the "second" impression. Well.... we've never stopped talking since that day!

I had just recently gotten out of a relationship and told myself I was through with relationships for a while. Then, as I was scrolling through Facebook, I noticed a comment under someone's post. It said something like this, "how do you know him?" The him was I. So, I went into her DM and asked her, how did she know the person she was asking the question to. And the rest is...
