Zoo, Dinner, Target
Day 6 We had plans to get picked up around 9-ish…. I called to let him know we’d fallen behind but he was just as understanding as always…came over to pick us up and got to meet a few family members who immediately sent text messages asking how long I had known him and where […]
Honesty and Communication, Always
Day 5 We both kept thinking of each other all night. He let me know he was falling for me. And I got scared again. I mean, come on, it’s the 5th day of your relationship. FIFTH DAY. How in the world can you possibly be thinking this man is on his way to being […]
Fireworks
Day 4 We had plans to see each other, but no idea what to do until a friend suggested we head over to the last home game of the local minor league baseball team. We chatted back and forth and he said he may or may not have a surprise for me. I saw this […]
Four Hours at McDonald’s
Day 3 We had a date set for McDonald’s already but still sent many messages on KIK throughout the day. Small talk, quick messages here and there. He was a bit newer to the area and had driven very far out the way and I wanted to call him but realized we had never exchanged […]

I’m Getting Married!!! Yes, I meant to write this beautiful, detailed post of our trip to Canada, the Proposal and and everything but time and procrastination has got the better of me and I haven’t been able to. But I will, just not right now. I have a ton of cleaning to get to but […]
Sad Eyes
Sometimes, if I concentrate real hard, I can hear him talking. His thick Nigerian accent, hard to understand to others, was a joy to my ears; the years of living in America never took that away from him. Sometimes, if I stare at his photos, I can feel his presence, like the king he was, […]
Just Checking In 3-19
It’s been almost a year, seriously, where does the time go. Well, in this past year, what has changed? I suppose there are two major changes in my life with many smaller ones. My step-father was killed in an automobile accident in the early morning of August 1st, 2007 and although he wasn’t my favorite […]
