Whenever someone has asked me before of ‘how we met,’I’m not always sure where to begin, because from the start, he was someone I felt especially close to and made our two short years feel like a lifetime, something I’m so grateful to say about him. I remember, still during the Covid-19 pandemic, my mom, Erika, and Daveron would do letter writing for service with the friends, and they hit it off. She’d tell me about him from time to time, and spoke highly of him. She’d tell me SO much eventually I had to tune her out; I avoided all boy topics with her! Until one day, I think it was one of the first days back in field service, I remember watching him go door to door and hearing all the friends talk about him, how amazing he was and so down to earth, when we first locked eyes (quite literally) something told me he was going to be an important person in my life, and he really is. maybe my mom was onto something there, can’t wait to tell my mom I married this crazy man.💙
So I’m out in field service (first time after the pandemic). I land a door, get a return visit, get some nice encouragement from the group I was out with. Then I saw Monika😂. We did more than lock eyes, we later became friends. It’s interesting because at the time, I never thought I’d be ready for this next chapter in life. As we got to know one another more; I really admired her personality, independence and determination to still enjoy life. Despite where she came from or what circumstances held her in place she always seemed positive and optimistic. More importantly the fact that she loves Jehovah more than I do, she encourages and motivates me to do better and to enjoy life in ways I couldn’t imagine for myself. These first few years have been great, I’m excited for eternity with her.
