ABOUT
Hear It From Me
I never really knew I was unprepared for marriage until five minutes after the vows were said and Adam kissed me in front of our family and friends. I have spent the last few years uncovering the truths and secrets about becoming one with another human being.
No book could inform me.
No counselor could direct me.
No momma could warn me.
No friend could advise me.
My hopes are to uncover the secrets of marriage, love, and romance. Live. Share. Learn.

WAITING
Adam was the first and last guy I ever dated. The waiting period was only as challenging as I made it. High school was killer when all the guys seemed to overlook me. But I had awesome gal pals who helped me stay fierce. #girlsquad
FOUND YOU
I met Adam through my sister and brother-in-law. We met at a Bible study three years ago and refused to speak to each other. At the time, my sister and her husband were trying to set us up. Adam and I didn't want to have anything to do with that. A year later, my sister got engaged; making me a MOH and Adam a groomsman. Knowing we were going to have to face each other, I sent an email to Adam saying something along the lines of this:
"Hey Adam! You might not remember me but I'm supposedly your future wife....want to help me with a prank?"
DATING
Adam and I started secretly dating two weeks after my sister's wedding. It was a hard season for me in the sense that I had no idea what the heck I was doing! The struggles were real. Emotions were high. And the love was oh so strong.
ENGAGED
Less than a year later, Adam decorated a park bench with rose petals and a little, black velvet box with his mother's previous wedding ring inside. With several excited and teary "yes's", I knew this guy and I were about to take one of our biggest adventures together. And I'm not talking about the wedding...
