We were both working. Well he had just finished a job for the night. I was talking about going to the Xscape concert when he jumped in my conversation and said, I'll go with you." I started laughing (per usual) and waved him off. He proceeded, "I will." He went on and minutes later he called me over to him and told me he was serious and asked for my number. I responded, No, I'll call you." Needless to say, one phone call later and a call back resulted in this beautiful essence of life.

Marvin is always the one who is so thoughtful of others. We were all preparing to eat Christmas dinner at my parents' house. I had fixed about two plates before people started wanting this and wanting that. I took Marvin his plate and said, "They are beginning to worry me now." I proceeded to fix my plate and as I was getting the last topping (pineapples) for my salad, Marvin called my name. I looked to my right because I knew had just left him in the sunroom. Then, I turned all the way around and there he was on one knee asking the most powerful words ever, "Sheawanna, will you marry me?" I startled for seconds and looked at the ring and then at him. Within seconds, I reached up to hug him with tears of joy. The word "YES" came floating out of my mouth and we were engaged! We are so excited to celebrate this new beginning in our lives with you.
