Let’s take it alllll the way back to 2003 at Southport High School. I walked into my first day of school dreading my freshman year. I was terrified, I didn’t know a soul. I sat in my firstu period class full of anxiety, until a tall, well dressed, curve scented man approached me and introduced himself. “Hey I’m Tony” from that moment on he tormented me for the next 3 years by loving me only as a friend. We were best friends, but in my head he was already my man. Lol ladies Ykwim! I was always open with my feelings towards Antonio back then. It was me singing before Jacques “ future babymomma” lol. I even asked him to Prom,but of course he went with friends. Prom was the first spark of interest in that way for him towards me, He had never seen me out of my daily Tomboy wear. Or practice clothes. So it shifted our relationship. He definitely showed more interest after that. But the timing was not in our favor and we had a big disagreement to the point of not speaking for years. He went on to graduate in 2006, then I in 2007. Summer of 2007 I was in the Christian Park neighborhood and tony just so happened to be driving in front on me. He noticed it was me and parked his car in the middle of the street and made his way to my window. He asked me on a date and gave me his number, but as much as I loved him I just knew he wasn’t ready for me. I was 18 and he was 19. So I never called him. And I never went on that date. And I never spoke to him again until I seen him at Walmart while I was pregnant with Addison, 5 years later in March of 2012. I looked a hot mess, while of course he was fine as ever. During that time we both got into relationships. I birthed Jordan in 08, graduated college in 2010, then had Addison in 12.

Around 2012/13 I go to pickup my kids from their babysitters house(a highschool friend) and Tony was there. She was a close friend of mine in Highschool so she knew my love for him and instantly informed me he was inside. Of course, I stayed behind and refused to go inside. At that point I was respecting my own relationship with my children’s father. But it sparked my interest in knowing that Tony was single. Let’s fast forward to 2014 when I decided to get clean and all the magic happens. You see I was at the lowest of lows when I unblocked Tony on Facebook and sent him a friend request after all those years. I was around 45 days clean and I was still detoxing off one of the hardest drugs to come up off of, methadone. I didn’t know God back then, but he knew me and he spoke to me in ways I can’t describe. Tony came into my life that day and never looked back. He knew my predicament, he knew my story. All besides the drugs and detox, that was a personal battle he would learn alittle later on down the road. With Gods timing I had my best friend back. We ended up dating for a year and have soooo many first memories together. It’s a beautiful thing when Gods plan works out Yk? When we found out we were pregnant with London, I was bawling because look at God! I honestly didn’t think Tony could have kids, because he didn’t have any. Thankfully that was just him being responsible. Our baby London Raine Chambers was born March 13,2016 and then 4 years later here came Nova Skye Chambers on April 22, 2020. As much as we would’ve liked to try again for a boy, there were just too many complications with Novas pregnancy and birth to risk it. So our family is now complete. We’ve been blessed beyond measure to have each other and walk through this life together. God is so good. Following the birth of Nova came our engagement which was August 13th, 2021. Tony, the children, and myself were all cleaning up and doing our chores when he said “there’s some kittens in the backyard, I just seen them” so if you know me then you know I love kittens. So I bolt out the door and take off to the back, where I find a large heart made out of rose petals. The kids all formed around, then Tony dropped to his knee and gave his speech. I was shocked! I instantly started crying and said YES! We’ve tried to plan the wedding many times, but in Gods timing I’ve learned that it’s all when he decides. So before I could even get married God led me to his light. He knew that before I could ever be a wife I had to learn his ways. Tony and I were both so stuck in our sinful toxic behaviors towards one another, that we were missing the true beauty of what our relationship could be. Fruitful
