Closer To My Dreams

On May 16, 2010, I took the biggest step my life has experienced thus far and committed myself to the love of my life. How did I do this you ask? Of course, I got engaged!!!. It was one of the biggest decisions I ever had to make but when I went before the Lord and sought his council, I know I was making the right decision with the right woman.


Being 26 years old, some would say that I have the rest of my life to get married and I should continue to play the field. I think, I have the rest of my life to build towards making my story great and what better way to do it than with my best friend by my side along for the ride. We've been through ups that have been really high and lord knows we've had some downs that have been really low. But at the end of the day, I think that's what it's all about. You cannot have a testimony without first being tested. Hey, I'm happy and I believe she is too.

I think the most surprising thing of it all was the overwhelming response of support that we gained from friends, family, and loved ones. Who knew that we all of a sudden became America's favorite couple lol. Naw, just being a little arrogant but man, what a response. I decided to be old school and ask her father and mother for her hand in marriage. I won't say they were happy to give her away to me but they definitely were very confident in my ability to love, protect, and honor her as my wife. I've been told time and time again that the Lord honors marriage so I won't lie, I'm a little bit anxious to receive his favor upon my union. I think what really matters at the end of the day though is that we're happy.

I'm Out....
