I met James about 4 yrs ago when I needed some work done on the house my Ex & I were selling. A year and a 1/2 later I returned to Orlando, divorced, and asked God to help me find His purpose in my life...which was help launch a Singles Life Group at our church. James was one of the first members to join this group.
We enjoyed many of the same things and found a new friendship. For many months we became best friends and enjoyed our time together until one day, through the approval of those in the group, we started dating...the rest is history.
He proposed right after the ball drop on New Years 1/1/06. He went down to one knee and asked me if "I could do him a favor and marry him". I was in shock ,for what seemed a lifetime, and forgotten to answer him...of course I said "YES!"
