On March 14th, 2011 my then boyfriend returned home from a 6 month deployment. I won the First Kiss Raffle and my honey was the first off the ship to get his kiss. We were reunited, we kissed and we hugged...he handed me a rose and then...he got down on one knee and proposed. I immediately said yes. I said yes to the man I loved and waited for.
On March 17th, 2011 Joshua M. Miller and I got married in a little chapel. It was the day I said "I DO" to the love of my life, my companion, my best friend, my soulmate, my love, my other half...my heart. It was the day I said "I DO" to the man God has blessed me with.
My hubby and I did not meet in a bar or at some random place. We met online on a free dating web service. Yes, we met online. Am I ashamed? Absolutely not. I was not the type to go clubbing or bar hopping. It was hard for me to meet any potentials. So a friend of mine suggested online dating. I exchanged messages with a few and met up with two individuals...those did not pan out of course. Then I get a message from a cute white boy. LOL. We messaged back and forth. We exchanged messages via the website, then moved to personal emails then to phone numbers. We texted back and forth. His first email was sent to me on May 23, 2010. I still have the email! HAHAHA. We finally met up to see a movie...Prince of Persia. I cannot recall the exact date it was sometime in May...the movie just came out. I went with my cousins and brother. He was late and ended up sitting away from us. After the movie we walked out of the theatre and I walked right passed him. I tend to walk with my head down...bad habit. I turned to look for him and he came walking up to me. At first I was turned off by his appearance...I know....I was so lame. It wasn't his face of course...it was his clothes! LOL! We talked briefly and then parted ways. At first I wasn't going to pursue anything...I just wanted to be friends...especially after the major fails from the previous dates...I didn't want anymore disappointments. I used the appearance of clothes as an excuse...I was not only nervous but scared to be hurt. But then... my darling twin aunties said to give him a chance and that he could be totally different from the others.
He knew how I felt and he said that we would be going out as friends...I went for it.
On June 06, 2010 we had our very first date! It was the most amazingly wonderful first date I have ever been on. At the time he could not drive his car because he didn't have his plates. So I picked him up after I went to church with my Mother. He was wearing an orange aged Christian Camp tshirt and denim shorts. We gave each other a hug and I had him drive us to our first date. We picked up food from El Zarape and then walked over to the near by park and sat at a bench and table. We ate and talked for hours. We had great conversations and talked about everything and anything. We had so much in common. He sat in front of me and he just had the most beautiful green/brown eyes. After hours of endless talking we had to leave. He did not try to hold my hand or make any kind of move. He was a complete gentlemen. He drove us back to his apartment complex and then when before we parted ways...we hugged and I gave him a kiss on the cheek. At first I wasn't sure if that was okay so I asked if it was...of course he said yes.
After that date...I knew there would be something more with him. He gave me butterflies.
On June 14, 2010 over the phone he asked me to be exclusive. Joshua became my boyfriend on that day.
Three months together was amazing! On September 11th, 2010 he left for a 6 month deployment. It was hard to say bye to him...I cried as he walked away from me. I knew that we would make it through those 6 months. We sent emails to each other, I sent video messages and I sent him a care package. He called when he could and towards the end of the deployment he sent me video messages. My love for him grew and grew.
We made it!!
When he came home...our life together began.
I cannot live without him. He is my everything...my world, my heart, and my soul.
Our love story was already written for us by God, He was just waiting for us to make our way to each other.
Now we are expecting our first baby...
GOD IS MORE THAN GOOD...HE IS AMAZING!
I LOVE MY HUSBAND <3
