It seems all my life I’ve been in some form of waiting. When I was younger I couldn’t wait to grow up. As you get older, you wait for school decisions, job choices, but one that sticks out the most is love. From the time I was 13 I can remember having such a strong desire to be a wife and mom. However I wanted to save my heart for my future husband by loving Jesus and waiting for His timing. This has been the longest wait of my life. As a 31 year old female and seeing everyone around you getting married and having kids waiting is hard. Im glad I was patient- was I perfectly patient? No- but I didn’t settle. I dug deep into serving, counseling, and going back to school to get my masters. It was a time of lonely waiting but busy schedule.
Then one day, as I finished my last graduate class, I got an app on my phone called Hinge. On June 28th, sweet James Robb slid into my life. I remember his gentle and kind smile, and big brown eyes. I decided to like his profile- and he sent me a message. We communicated on the app in paragraphs just talking back and forth and it wasn’t long before, in his words “ he slid into my dms” on instagram. He asked for my number, and called me. We talked for hours with so much to talk about. He made me laugh and feel all the butterflies.
On July 5th we went on our first date to Pinewood social. We sat down and 2 hours later realized we had talked so much we forgot to order. We ordered an appetizer to be kind to our waitress and then decided to go to Top Golf. Since James loves golfing- this was right up his alley. We just continued to talk and have the best time. We ended the night at a Mexican restaurant and after a 6 hour first date- we spent the next few weeks inseparable.
James asked me to be his girlfriend on July 14th, and every moment with him since then has been the sweetest. He is incredibly fun, loves to laugh, the hardest working man I know, selfless, and loves hard!
On December 30, 2023 at Arrington Vineyard, James asked me to spend the rest of my life with him. I said yes, obviously.

Jesus is incredibly faithful and cares about the details of our dreams and heart. My whole life I’ve waited and prayed for my future husband, specifically that he would love Jesus, be kind, love his family, love kids, be hard working, be sensitive but logical. Jesus has answered all of these things in James. I would wait all over again, to know I would get to love James Herbert Robb III. He is my biggest blessing from Jesus.
