Whew! That escalated quickly. In May of 2015, Ronald and I were introduced through a mutual friend, Mark Artrip, who also happens to be my pastor. Every Sunday for a couple of weeks before we met, Mark would remind me that he wanted me to meet this guy who may be my future husband (he is literally a professional matchmaker or should be). After about three weeks I agreed to meeting this mystery guy at the Artrip's house to casually hang out. Let's just say the minute I walked in the door and Ronald gave me a big hug, the rest was history. That was last May. As I sit to write this I cannot believe a year has gone by and I soon will call Ronald my beloved husband. The only thing I can say is truly how amazing God is, and how He truly had a plan for Ronald and I that neither of us had the slightest idea of. Ronald has been one of the greatest signs of mercy and grace that the Lord has shown me. We are so blessed with this gift of love and cannot wait to embark on this journey of life together. We cannot express how excited we are to celebrate the gift of marriage with each of you in August.
