Her side: I have known Leon for a very long time. I always had a secret crush on him. I knew he was always a good guy and that he had good intentions but I wanted to make sure I was ready in my life for something that would last forever. We kept in contact throughout years keeping our friendship. Our first date Leon wanted to take me to a paint night. We met up and the paint night had been cancelled. Leon was not giving up he arranged another painting for later that day and we hung out at a restaurant and just talked. By our third date I was already head over heels playing cool and he made his intentions known and I was ready to make my fairy tale begin. Amaya was just as happy as he won her over with Moana pillows and blankets. From there we just never separated and everyday is a better adventure than the day before. Everyday I grow as a women to add to his life. His side: It's been an adventure for sure, and one that keeps on getting better. The best part is that it's just the beginning. Renee is one of the most unique individuals I've met; her smile, character and personality. Had my eye on her for a while, crushing from a distance. One vacation, two vacations and a trip later I'm on the prowl. It wasn't long after finding out more about "who" she was inside that I decided to pursue. Saw the potential that I was missing. After some prayer, some assessing and some overthinking, 18 months later I decided to take that step. The next decision was made. Liked it, put a ring on it. Amaya quickly became one of my best friends. The challenge of becoming the favorite "parent" was on. Still don't quite have the championship belt yet...working on it. Nonetheless, I am happy to say I now get to join with Renee and Amaya to build an exciting future with God leading me to lead our new family to continue this exciting adventure!
