Separately, they both made a commitment to deepen their Christian walk. Rob sought out a spiritual mentor and Monique joined a small group from church. Unknown to either of them, the same man was leading and nurturing both of them…. From August 2018 to now, Rob and I have had the privilege to grow together and experience many firsts. We come from different backgrounds, different states, well to be honest different everything! In learning one another, we have developed a deep connection due to the many extensive conversations we had to understand how each other ticks. I have shown him that nerdy science stuff can be cool. He has shown me how to relax and have fun. What brought us and what keeps us together is our love of the Lord, our love for one another and food. I love to cook and bake and he loves to eat. We have spent many hours together just hanging out in the kitchen, talking, goofing off, learning, just having quality time. That is ACTUALLY, where he proposed! “Rob is my comic relief and my calming force” “Monique is my blessing from GOD period.” We are very thankful that God directed us towards one another and that we were smart enough to get out of our own ways and chose each other!
