Do you remember the 21st night of September? (I forever will) Love was changin' the minds of pretenders While chasin' the clouds away Kyle came into my life from the dating app Upward, a Christian app, back in December. NYE he asked me out on a first date. We decided on 1/2/2024, went for Mexican! I went into it not sure what to expect and the date indifferent, hoping for a second date but also not sure how I felt. By the end of January, after seeing each other every Tuesday that month along with other days sprinkled in I knew I wanted more. Valentine’s Day was the day I started considering myself his girlfriend. We made it “official” a month later even though we were already basically inseparable. April involved some amazing conversations about God and making sure He is at the center of our relationship. Kyle and I align on our views and beliefs and love of God! Back in July 2023 I prayed and asked God to have the person I was meant to marry bring me yellow roses (my moms favorite) well one night in late April he showed with a dozen yellow roses. He had NO idea about that pray. Once he met the kids we both knew this was the relationship that we had both prayed for. Kyle brings so much love and happiness to our family. Pretty sure most of the time Lucy prefers him over me! The kids and I were used to being on our own and had a routine, more and more over the summer Kyle was included in our routines and when he was gone for the Detroit sale the kids and I felt his absence, he is my other half and completes this family. Last night, the 21st of September 2024 he asked me to marry him and with happy tearful eyes I said yes!!!!!! We then danced to September and he informed me he had one last surprise… in walked my dad!!!!! He is the most thoughtful man, I am so grateful that God gave me another chance at love! Kyle not only talked to my dad but also asked Brandon for permission to join the family officially.
