Our story began as friends who fell in love. My first impression of him was that he was tall, handsome, respectful, and funny. His first impression of me was that I was cute, caring, down to Earth, and smart. Fast forward to our first date, we went to the movies and grabbed a bite to eat. I think we both hated the movie but enjoyed our time spent together. At the end of our date, I felt happy, and I knew this would be the start of something great.

After several months of dating, I was introduced to my bonus son, Keithan Provost. It was a pleasure to finally meet him. He has been a joy in my life ever since. In 2021, we welcomed a baby boy, Keenan Provost, who added joy and laughter to our family.

On Saturday, February 25, 2023, my life changed forever. All day, I prepared for what I thought was an anniversary party for Ronald’s cousin and her husband. However, to my surprise, it was my very own surprise 40th birthday party, but the night didn’t end there. I was eventually asked to sit and watch a PowerPoint presentation, which concluded with Ronald on one knee asking me to marry him. After crying a river, I answered a definite “Yes” as he placed the gorgeous ring on my finger. I thank God every day for allowing us to cross paths. Our journey was not typical, and some could argue it was a bit out of order. We took risks and put a lot of faith in each other and the unknown future. However, our journey and story have led us to choose a future together forever.
