The day we meet

I am sure that most of you do not realize how we meet. Well here is the initial story. I was working at Cato with Shifonda and things between me and Marcus had diminished. We had broken up and I was sick. I would go to work and we would talk for hours about the current situation. She would let me know that everything would be alright and to put my faith in GOD. That my son and I would be ok. Things happen in life and every turn there is another road. She encouraged me to no dwell on the things in life that can’t be changed.

She was having a family reunion at her aunt and uncles house and said that me and J were welcome to come. I told her that I was going to stay at the house and she said that I would do better out of the house. She didn’t take no for an answer and came by the house the next day insisting that I get dressed and bring J over for a day among other kids.

I went and put clothes on and decided to come with. (Trust me she wasn’t leaving) We got to her aunt and uncles house (Cory’s parents) and I get out of the car and walk up with her. That is when I saw the “boys” for the very first time. Eldrick, Perez, Cobi, Cory and Bill were all standing together. They turned and saw me….. Next thing I know they were all asking Shifonda who I was and making sure that I wasn’t related.

Throughout the day they all trickled up and spoke…..

But that day lead to sooooo much more

My MOH

What can I say about my MOH (maid of honor) I have known her for my entire lifetime. She has taken me on adventure after adventure after adventure. She has shown me things that I never thought I would see. She has been there for me in times that I thought nobody was around. She has taught me the right and wrong things to do. But through it all she has loved me like no other. When I realized that our wedding was really happening. One of the first things on my mind was bridal party. Who do I want to share my special day with???? I began thinking of the few women in my life and how special they are too me. The enitre time I knew that she would be my MOH. I remember the day that I asked her. My aunt called me saying that she was crying. Yall know me I was like "Crying" Really? LOL She said that she was so touched that I would honor her with this gift. But I feel that I am the one who is honored to have her in my life. She is not only my maid of honor, she is my sister from another mister. She is one of my best friends in the entire world. She is my cousin. I love you Cokes........

What is the definition of a soul mate? When you Google it there are several different sites that define a soul mate as someone you have a natural and deep affinity with. Others sites believe that your soul mate is someone who God choose for you. So my question to you is do you believe in the possibility of a soul mate? What is a soul mate to you? To me I have met my soul mate. We can finish each others sentences, we can feel when there is something wrong and we are apart. I can look into his eyes and see what he is thinking. I can touch him and feel what he is feeling. When we meet our eyes meet from across the yard, and I knew that I had to be in his life forever. If you ask him he will say the same. We are like any other relationship, we argue, we fight, we disagree. So with all this being said, it makes me wonder, is a soul mate someone who you have an instant connection with or can two people be around each other long enough to where they can feel the same things? All I do know is that he is mine and I am his.

 

How he makes me feel.......

For those of you who have yet to see my ring............here it is. :)

Family

So I come from a very small family (especially when compared to his) My family consist of ME. My mom. My 2 aunts. My Cousin. & My Uncle. Oh and all of our four legged friends that outweight the humans. LOL Literally. Well his family is Him. His Mom & Dad & Sister & Brother in law & Niece and Nephew. Then there are the cousins. (please forgive if i miss some) the ones i call the "boys" Eldrick. Cobi. Perez. Jeremy (bill). Jason. Edwin. Then there are the girls cousins. (again here we go) Netta. Shifonda. Kamitra. Lawiess. Money. Tink. Kim. Simon. Shiney. Renee. Dreka. Tori. Falon. Contika. T. Tabitha. ahh who am I fooling there are too many to remember. Then the aunts and Uncles. G & Nona. B. Mary & Martha. Ola. Pardy. Deborha. Carolyn. well you get the idea. So I am going from a family that always got together at all holidays to a family that is so big that we go from house to house trying to show love on holidays. But I must say that even though I am not yet officially family. His family won't let me feel that way. They have accepted me and my son from day one. ( I think they accepted him first) lol but they have been great. I already feel like a Kinsey woman. And I can't wait to be....... :)

I must say that in all that we have gone thru I would like to give a very special thank you to his parents and his sister. They have always made me feel that I can come to them with anything and have always helped me and him get thru some ruff times. I can't wait to make it official. I love you all.

I want birdcage center pieces and have thought seeing that there are going to be at least 19/20 tables we would do 10 cages and 10 votive centerpieces. I am so very excited and have been working with Simply Devine Events on decor.

We come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.

My dress

So I have gone round and round with what I want to wear on my wedding day. I have tried on about 30 or so dresses when I finally listened to my heart and went with me original idea. I want lace. I have always been a fan of lace and feel that it is a simple elegant look that can be dressy or can be plain. So I don't have any pictures (other then the memories) of me in the dress. I don't want anyone to see me till that day but here is the dress that I have chosen. Its the Allure 8634 in the multi color gold silver and ivory. My mom is the only one that has seen me in it. It brought her to tears. I walked around the bridal shop not wanting to take it off. If I could I would be wearing it now...... can't wait for yall to see me in it.
