The One He Kept for Me...

Today I celebrate my husband, Pierre Brown! The one God decided could do it... Do what you ask? Well, that's a small question with a BIG answer. Guess I'll start from the beginning... May 22, 2009 when we met while at Starz with mutual friends. He decided that you were the one that could push past my bitter, angry spirit...the one that could be patient and restore my hope in relationships...the one that could tolerate my stern demeanor and aggressive tone...the one that could embrace my strong will and independence. Pierre, thank you for all you've been since the day we met! 


 Most females dream about their 'Superman' as a little girl. Some decide they want that guy that's just like their daddy in their quest for love, while others figure it out along the way like I did. Every guy isn't suppose to be the love of your life, they're just apart of the preparation for your destiny. Ladies, be patient, discerning, and prayerful in deciding on a mate. Young girls, focus on what's important during your adolescents... Goals, dreams, standards, and morals. Please don't confuse infatuation or lust with love. Don't get tied up in your teen years on how cute he is! Is he smart? Does he attend church regularly? How does he treat his parents? If you're attempting to date, that's what should be important. Does he have goals and is he working towards them? And please don't give up your " hot-pocket"! 

 Even in college, be mindful of the guys you meet. Are they looking for a relationship, another boo, or just 'the girl to kick it with'? In the relationships that don't last, they didn't last on purpose. Maybe due to immaturity, selfish intentions, and/or bad timing, you invest time only to find that it just wasn't meant to be... That's okay. Doesn't make you or the guy a bad person, just necessary for growth. When love comes... pure, unconditional, lasting, crazy, fun, overwhelming, stupid, silly Love... You will know! All of my relationships aided in my abilities to become a wife, the wife Pierre needs. With prayer as the foundation, Pierre and I grew together. From a very innocent place of laughs, quality time, game nights, eating out, and consistent conversation. Here we are 3 years, and 2 months after meeting, celebrating our FIRST WEDDING ANNIVERSARY today... Woot, woot!! Praise God! Marriage isn't easy. It takes prayer, true commitment, patience, devotion, and hard work. Every day may not be easy, but the many sweet days make it all worth it! Boobie, it's a blessing to have your shoulders to lean on, your chest to rest in, and your unconditional love to bask in. I love you, I'm grateful to be the muse of your obsession, and I'm looking forward to the rest of our lives together. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!
