Jason and Patience met in August of 2014. Patience was one of Jason's foster children's teacher. After a few months, smiles and winks were exchanged. Jason asked Patience one evening if she had written his phone number down off of some paperwork for the school. She told him, "I have your number." To which he replied, "In case you ever want to use it." That weekend they met for drinks and he asked her out. October 4th, Sea Food Festival Weekend, Jason and Patience went to the beach for a stroll. They talked and laughed and listened to the music from the Festival. It was PERFECT! That night, under the moonlight and to the sound of the crashing waves, they shared their first KISS! IT WAS PERFECT! The date ended at Waffle House with a shared piece of Pie and coffee! PERFECT! They continued to see each other and soon made it official to see only each other. In May 2015, Under the same beautiful moon, on the same sandy beach, listening to the same crashing waves... He told her, "I love you!" to which she said, "You stole my line! I love you too!" IT WAS PERFECT! They went through happy times together, the high school graduation of both of Patience's children. College enrollments, and chorus concerts. PERFECT They went through sad times, the loss of family pets and the heart breaking loss of Jason's mother. Definitely NOT perfect! They went through the frustrating times , Hurricane Florence and the destruction and construction of Patience's house. Again, NOT Perfect. But they did everything together, as a team, as partners, helping each other, holding one another's hand and being there for each other! IT WAS PERFECT! Then on February 14th , Jason took Patience to the beach. Their Beach! With their moon, their waves, their sand! And in the moon light, on one knee, with the most PERFECT ring.... He asked the MOST PERFECT question! AND SHE SAID YES! IT IS PERFECT! And today together, they are planning, smiling, laughing and are excited to GET MARRIED! PERFECT
