How we met

I had moved to Houston, TX from a small town in Louisiana in 2003. Being that I was going through some tough times, a divorce, and had 2 minor children, I wasnt interested in a relationship with anyone or dating. I was trying to learn my way around, work, and provide stability for my son and daughter. This would be the first time they'd be without their father. Needless to say, 9 mts later I was VERY lonely. I went out hoping to meet someone and I was very disappointed in what the "nightlife" had to offer. Guys were very rude and interested solely in "hooking up". I was walking with a girlfriend to my car and she fell. Then I looked up and saw him. He was with his brother. He must've just came in from work cause he had on a beanie hat, and work clothes. LOL Not attractive. Needless to say, the rest is history. We've been together 4 years, and have a 10 month old daughter. I am his right hand, and he is my left. He fulfills me. I'm very happy.

One evening, he asked if I was tired at work. Of course for him, I'll be energized. He wanted me to pick out the engagement ring because he wanted to make sure it was something I'd love to wear. Thus, the wedding planning has begun.
