I (Ashley) had saw Donald at a church conference. He was worshipping God and it instantly drew my attention. On the last day of the conference they do baptisms. I saw Donald, unidentified at the time, with the standard all black on so I decided to stay for baptisms so that I could learn his name. I confided in my mentor at the time about this mysterious man. Several weeks passed and my mentor arranged for us to meet in a private and very informal way. Donald was apart of a church small group and, unbeknownst to him at the time, I joined to meet him. I could say the rest is history but as history would have it, he was dating someone. He eventually became my client and we started serving on a team together. He became single and took all the time in the world to “work on his self ”. He didn’t ask me out until he saw me talking to another guy. He asked me out that very same day and we’ve been inseparable since.
We met in July at a Union groups event. We exchanged information and stayed in contact loosely. We really started communicating that December. We joined the same dream team. Ummm, at some point, I was sick. I caught a bug, and she shared some of her remedies. I got better and then we started serving (at church) some more. We talked tomorrow more and got to know each other and like interests started growing, grew over that time. Ummm we had a really good like conversation one night and you know, I knew I was interested for sure, but I was going to take it easy. And then later the same month, we're in our relationship series, at church and I heard a message that prompted me to ask her on a date, and I did, and here we are.
