It certainly caught me off guard when Rondall came into my life. Here I was, falling in love with someone who lived all the way across the state yet continued to woo me with his compassion and charm.

At first, we tried a long-distance relationship that resulted in late-night Skype conversations and empty gas tanks. We were desperate to see each other, and soon decided we needed to merge our two different lives.

I am honored that Rondall sacrificed his time, family and resources to move to Tampa with me and build a life on Florida's west coast. We've built our own little world together - complete with three cats, many hiking adventures, cozy nights in and dreams of the future. We bring out the best in eacher. Him, a little bit of discipline and me, a little bit of lightheardness. We're better together, and that's all that matters.

Now, I have the joy of locking-in Rondall as my husband. I can't wait to build upon our foundation and see our love story come larger and larger into life! The future holds so much in store for us, and I can't thank God enough for plucking him out of the universe and placing him into my life where he fits like a glove.
