Our Love Story

#collegesweethearts #firstcomesschoolthencomesmarriage #KenWeCharles #OnceUponACharles

Three and a half years ago, I never would have thought that I would be considering marriage in the next few years of my life. When I arrived to the University at Albany, it was my wish and my prayer that one day, I would find a woman with outstanding qualities. The qualities I sought after were Christian, intelligent, attractive, ambitious and self-motivated. Yes, I know it sounds like a picture-perfect, ideal, build-a-bear type of scenario. However, I figured I would eventually find this individual. In fact, I did. In the Fall of 2015, I was invited to attend a Sabbath hayride event in Fonda, NY. Upon arrival, I saw a girl crying, off by herself to the side of a house. I went to console her and was instantly dubbed. When I say dubbed, I mean imagine a person with a credit score of 400 applying for a home loan. That’s an instant reject! Nevertheless, two days later, when I attended my Organic Chemistry lecture, I recognized this same individual. She had black curly hair and was sitting by herself in the back-left part of the lecture hall. She was what I now know to be Kendra. In shock, Kendra asked if I was the guy who came up to her at the hayride. I confirmed. It was this very moment that initiated a spark and our relationship started to grow. We spent the entire of summer ’16 together and Kendra helped me every day with Organic Chemistry. During a time when I felt defeated, God gave me Kendra. She helped me for hours each day and I did very well. After that summer, I changed. I realized my God-given potential. I am the person I am today partly because Kendra was with me through the thick and thin, through the good times and the bad. And for that, I am forever grateful. Doctors say that 20/20 vision indicates the sharpness or clarity of vision at a distance. With 2020 vision, it is our desire that God will unite us now and forever more, from our wedding day forward.
