The Story of US


I never get tired of telling this story. Anthony and I met in March of 1999. He lived in Corpus Christie at the time. It was the week of spring break. He was passing through San Antonio on his way to Mexico to meet a girl. He stopped by church Sunday morning to visit his cousin. After service was over he approached me, asked my name, and asked for my phone number. I decided to give him my information. Long story short, he never made it to Mexico. He stayed in San Antonio that week. We went out every single night. By the end of the week I think we both knew that we had deep feelings for one another. We were engaged in February 2001 and were married in December 2002.
We have a beautiful relationship now, but you wouldn't have guessed it by the turmoil we created for our courtship years. Anthony and I would fight about everything and nothing. We disagreed on most everything. He talked too much, I talked too much. He said black, I said white. He said up and I said down. There was so much disagreement that we probably should have broken up. We stuck together and began to develop a deeper relationship with God. This is why I KNOW that with God NOTHING shall be impossible. The day we married everything just changed for the better (and I'm not exaggerating). I think that God helped us to realize when and how to talk and when and how to listen.
The 21st of December this year will mark 6 blessed years.
We never get tired of being together and enjoy each moment! I love him, he loves me and I couldn't imagine spending forever with anyone else.
