4 years ago, on July 17, 2004 I made one of the best decision's of my life. I married my soulmate, my lover, my supporter, my bestfriend...my everything!!! I can honestly say that these four years have not been easy, no not easy at all. I still remember the day my friend told me that he was interested in me. My first thought was um no I don't think he's my type, (here's comes the 3 words everyman does not want to here) We can JUST BE FRIENDS!!! Just looking at him he was not my type(or so I thought) you know we all have that my type attitude, "my type" was light skinned with curly hair, light eyes and a whole lot taller then me. Dating someone darker than me was not an option...DID I SAY I WAS COMPLETELY COLOR STRUCK. So of course upon meeting Mr. Overton he was to dark and tooooo short! So I was really not feeling him at all, I do mean at all...
Fast forward a couple of months later...so now we have been kicking it for a while, on a friendship level of course, we did work together and saw each quite often! I started to realize that there was something different about him, something very different. I could not put my finger on it but I was definitely interested in finding out! Then I realized that he was unlike any other guy I had ever met, nice, sweet, understanding, smart, loving and the list goes on and on! I then went from wanting to be his FRIEND to wanting to be his GIRL! We started kicking it real hard then, he was doing things for me that no guy had ever done before...I remember the first time he washed my hair...WASHED MY HAIR! Or what about painting my toes, oh and the endless massages I often thought that it was to good to be true, that he had to be hiding something because there was no way a guy could be this perfect. Ok I must say that I was so wrong! After 6 years he ceases to amaze me, you know how people say "he only doing that to hook you, but once he gets in good girl all that's going to stop" THAT IS SUCH A LIE!!!! He is still doing all the little romantic things that he started doing, and I do not think he is planning to stop. This man is so amazing, as I sit here and think I can not imagine my life without him. He is everything I could have asked for and then more. He listens, he understands, he supports, he motivates, he loves, he feels, he completes me in every way possible. July 17, 2004 is the day I really married my bestfriend, no one will ever be able to take his place in my life! He is more than I could ever ask for in a friend, husband and a father to our daughter. There is no one else like him and I thank God often for giving us the LOVE that he has given us! Not everyone who has found love is as fortunate to say that they have found true love..BUT I CAN SAY THAT I HAVE! Baby you are my everything, my whole life I have dreamed about loving a man like you, God has granted me my wish, and I feel like the luckiest GIRL in the world! I can honestly say that I am PROUD TO BE MRS. MAURICE OVERTON!!!!! HAPPY 4TH ANNIVERSARY BABY, I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO MANY MANY MORE TO COME!
With Love,
Mrs. Maurice Overton
