The song by Blink-182 I was listening to as I got ready before hopping into my car to pick up the woman that, at the time, I had no idea I would want to spend the rest of my life with. What I thought was going to be a simple coffee and conversation, turned into an evening full of laughs, stories, food, and joy all with a little help from Google translate. Lets just say my Spanish was not very good looking, and Luisa's English was a work in progress. That didn't stop us one bit; I was enamored. That first date led to many more, and it wasn't long before I had fallen madly in love with the woman who God placed in my life when I was least expecting. The dancing, the travel, the hikes- there wasn't one thing that I didn't want to experience with her. I was fascinated by her grace & poise, impressed with her values and aspirations, appreciative of her culture, floored by her beauty, & ultimately I was truly in love with my best friend. About a year and a half later, I had no doubt in my mind that Luisa was the woman I wanted to marry, so I asked, and she said yes! NUESTRA PRIMERA CITA Hermosos sentimientos llegan a mi mente al recordar nuestra primera cita, desde el momento en el que Josh me recogió, escuchando Carlos Vives (detalle que me cautivo), hasta el momento que me llevo de regreso a mi casa con la certeza de que esa no sería nuestra primera y última cita. Lo que pensamos sería un simple café y una conversación, se convirtió en una noche llena de risas, historias, comida y alegría; todo gracias al traductor de Google, pues para ese entonces mi inglés y el español de Josh aún necesitaban por mejorar. Esto no fue un impedimento para darnos cuenta la química que había entre nosotros. Esa primera cita condujo a muchas más, donde compartimos momentos únicos e inolvidables, y donde pude darme cuenta que Josh no había llegado a mi vida por simple casualidad...que Dios tenía el plan perfecto para nosotros.
