In May of 2020 we met by chance responding to a post on Facebook. After a casual conversation or two Thomas dm'd me his number and we began to talk on the phone realizing we had a lot more in common than we could have ever imagined. Not only were we 15 minutes from each other we went to the same elementary school and grew up in the same neighborhood as kids. Life took us in very different directions but as we both realized God has a way of making things happen in his timing and 40 years later we crossed paths and our story began. Because we were in the middle of COVID I spent a lot of my time driving out to Texas City Dike and walking along the beach or fishing off the rocks to pass the time. On one of our many phone calls he invited himself and there we were on our first date at the beach watching the sun set and it was amazing. We talked and laughed and shared stories of where we had been in life and we both knew then this relationship was different. On June 25, 2020 the decision was made that we were a couple and from that point on we were inseparable and we enjoyed every moment together. Over the years we have traveled and created so many memories with family and friends and on 12/13/2023 Thomas asked me to marry him and of course I said YES!!!!!! We can't wait to share the experience with family and friends and began the new chapter of our story!
