We met on a busy evening in the mall during the holidays. Little did we know, we both worked at opposite ends of the building for some time. Michael had stopped me to give a compliment and ask where I was from. Unbeknownst to me, he was hoping for a wife from the Middle East and when I answered otherwise, he walked away. I then passed by a store and saw him again through the window, deciding to go back in. Because I'm terribly shy, I hid behind a shelf. It was only so long before a voice cried out across the store, "Are you stalking me?!" Michael started to walk his way toward me and I could not stop laughing because I definitely was! It took a year long journey of friendship and faith for us to finally start dating. One of the craziest things for me was that I was actually supposed to be out of the country at that very time, but ended up having to push it back a semester... taking a job at the mall to save up. And the rest was "His story."
