Hey guys and gals! It’s been forever & a day since I posted on my blog. 🤦🏻‍♀
I know, I know – my bad y’all! I thought it would be good to do a story time and spill some tea. 🍵
​So go ahead and grab some snacks and a drink & let’s get started!

So last you heard I was single again. 💃🏻 After being in a long-term relationship (married) – dating was the last thing on my mind. Love was completely out of the question. I was too focused on my healing and my beautiful girls. The only love that I needed was from them and I was perfectly content with that; my heart was full. 

I was focused on making sure my girls were being the least possibly affected from the divorce. I was focused on getting healthy again and beating cancer’s ass. I didn’t think just anyone could handle all that baggage and I definitely didn’t want to invest in anyone only to be left alone in the fight again. So, I just did my own thing and enjoyed having my kid’s company all to myself. I ignored the texts/messages/calls from guys for months. I wasn’t interested in having any kind of male attention – I didn’t want it and I definitely didn’t need it. 💁🏻‍♀️

Fast forward to a few more months and I ended up reconnecting with an old friend. I met him back in 2012 – he was baby daddy’s friend – they still are kind of. Lol. Anyways me and him have always had really good communication and a solid friendship – nothing more. We were originally supposed to go out to the movies and watch “The Joker” together but I ended up not being able to go last minute – mom life. Unfortunately, I didn’t have his number so I wasn’t able to let him know until he was already there. Poor guy had drove almost an hour for nothing…. We agreed to hangout on another occasion and went out for some tacos. 🌮 We ended up talking all night long – mostly him – until sunrise the next morning.

The following day we decided to go out with the kids and make it a family thing. There was only a brief moment that we were “alone” and that was when we were buying cotton candy. That night everything changed for me, I felt butterflies 🦋 (well more like a whole freaking zoo). This was new for me I hadn’t felt that way for anyone before. I thought my heart was going to burst out of my chest that night. Lol. We had a great time that night, it’s a night that I know he and I will both look back to as the years go by and remember. When it came time to leave my girls didn’t want to and his kids weren’t too happy with the idea either. It felt normal – meant to be – but I had to go because the kids had school 🏫 the following day. But I knew this was the beginning of our love story. As we like to say and joke around now, “stupid pumpkin patch”. Lol

Valentine’s Day came around and he asked me to be his date. ♥️ I obviously said yes and this became our first official date. He had taken me to the mall the day before V-Day & bought me two different outfits to choose from. He also made sure I had my nails done (mani & pedi). We went downtown to eat dinner and enjoyed each other’s company. I remember a woman going up to our table and asking how long we had been married for. Lol. Everyone would just be staring at us I guess because it was so evident that what we had was so pure… That night in the parking lot as we were waiting on valet to bring us the car, I whispered in his ear and asked him to be my boyfriend. He whispered back yes and we sealed it with a kiss. 💋 Later that night we had deep conversations about our fears due to our past relationships and decided we were both worth the risk. We looked into each other’s eyes and said “I Love You”. I’ll never forget the feeling I got when whenever he told me…. We spent the rest of the night together soaking it all in. It was an amazing first date to say the least. 

A few weeks after he told my mom that we had decided to start dating and were taking things slow… Then the whole COVID-19 pandemic started and it made it difficult to see each other. There were moments when I thought things weren’t going to work out due to certain circumstances but we decided to hold onto each other and keep pushing through. Almost no one knew we were dating and it was nice to have him all to myself. Not that we were hiding but we just wanted to make sure we were going be in a committed relationship or at least headed that way before even dropping hints here and there. 😉 We are now in a point where we don’t mind sharing the details, obviously. Lol

It’s been a couple of months and I’m so happy with him. I now know what it’s like to be loved in sickness and in health. It’s amazing to have the genuine love and support from the person you love. It’s amazing for someone to love you for who you are and not what you look like or what you can do for them but simply for being you. It’s amazing to have someone encourage you to improve in all areas of your life without taking away the essence of who you are. I am so incredibly blessed and grateful to have this man by my side.

Babe, thank you for showing me what love is.
I look forward to a lifetime with you.
I’m so in love with you.

I would go through hell and back all over again if it led me back to you. You are the most incredible human being I’ve ever met. You have the most beautiful and caring heart. You are intelligent and wise beyond your years. You are my best friend , my shoulder to lean/cry on, my better half and my soulmate. I’d choose you over and over again 1000 times. I’m not sure what I did to deserve you but I’m grateful I get to call you mine.

​I love you.

P.s, it’s official. ♥️
