|   | 2014 was a wonderful year for me professionally. I had a new position at work, i was traveling, meeting new people and reconnecting with old friends. Same could not be said for my personal life. My romantic life (or lack thereof) was full of dissapointment, tears, and frustration. I always though that i would be married and have kids by my 30's, not still dating and trying to find my soulmate. I decided to throw in the towel for a while. With the holidays coming up i decided i needed to focus on making memories with the people that had never left side instead of finding someone new to make memories with. The holiday season blew by and it was 2015 before we knew it. The new year had started and we gearing up for Mardi Gras. I was never a person who partied a ton for Mardi Gras. That year a coworker of mine was kind enough to invite me and a few others to the Mardi Gras party his family had every year in Carencrco. I showed up with my coworkers with ice chest and food in hand. I don't think it was 30 minutes into the fun when I was approched by Mike. He was cheesy and maybe trying to hard but no one had ever tried that hard to get my attention. He was silly and playful but i left that party without his number.....which he clarifies to anyone we tell our story too:)
Two weeks later trusty facebook was there to reconnect us! He set me a message and the rest is history. We had our first date and it was uphill from there. He ended up being my person, my partner and my soulmate. There are so many cliches that apply to him and I. The first one that comes to mind is "You will find someone when you stop looking" and I be damn if thats not exactly what happened:) Another that might pretain to us, "It's all in God's time" and true words have never been spoken. God knew what He was doing when he led us to Carencro on one of the most sinful holidays ironically! And last but not least, "All girls want to end up marrying a man like her father". Mike in so many ways reminds me of my dad but most importantly how he makes me feel safe and taken care of. I know that he will always be by my side and won't let me down, just like my daddy did for me when i was young.
This road to find each other had plenty of bumps and road blocks on the way but we are better people for our experiences. We, in that time, became the partner that each of us needed to walk the rest of this life with. So far chistmas eve of 2015 was the best day of my life to soon be replaced by our wedding day. I didn't think there were men like my Michael still left in this world and i sure didn't think i would have ended up with one like him. He wakes up every morning and choses to love me out of billions of people on the planet. Our journey has just begun and I look forward to the next journey or experiences God puts in out path! Come on April 29th!!!! |
 | | So i mean where do I begin.......I always knew i would end up with a beautiful Cajun Queen, and on Feb. 7th of 2015 I met Stephanie and the rest they say is history. Really though its not, I believe we must choose everyday to love. I am blessed that God allowed me to grow, through the hurt, the pain, the mistakes, the good times, and the bad to become the person I am today. I know that everything happens in Gods Time and according to his plan, I know that part of the reason Christine was promoted to Angel was so that she could watch over me and to Guide mine and Stephanies Path together. She gently nudged me to go to a Mardi Gras Party, and to speak with the most beautiful woman there. Unfortunately i didnt get to speak with her again for a few weeks, but once we did........ I have never felt more loved, more happy, and more hopeful than she makes me feel. She is my hope, my courage, my best friend, my heart, and most important my love. Now I just wait for the day that I am able to call her my Wife! |
