Amidst the scent of gasoline, two unfamiliar individuals coincidentally met on a typical winter evening at a nearby gas station. Ray initiated a conversation with a rather cheesy line, "Can I pump your gas?" For those who know me, you are well aware that my response was far from pleasant, lol. But nonetheless, we decided to exchange numbers. We would have long conversations on the phone, getting to know each other deeply even before our first date.

Although we have completely different personalities, lol, we complement each other well... discovering that where I lack, he excels and vice versa. Together we uncovered a shared connection rooted in faith, resilience, a thirst for adventure, and a deep appreciation for life's simple joys.

We've faced challenges, but we conquered every one…TOGETHER and against all odds our bond grew stronger and now we stand on the verge of marriage, demonstrating that genuine love surpasses all boundaries.

The key is simple...KEEP GOD FIRST!!!
