This is the story of a lovely lady with tree kids (does this sound like the Brady Bunch?) who met a loving caring man with five kids......To begin this part of my writing lets go back few years when I was about twenty-two, worked at the University in Lima, Peru, South America, single, nice figure (no kids...), and was full of life (I still feel the same). I have a good family, friends and a beautiful home. My sisters settled in Mesa, Arizona and invited me to go visit them and go to school. We met a nice LDS family who introduced us to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. They sent Spanish speaking missionaries to teach us about the church and the first day we attended church we went in blue jeans (like the Catholic church). We were wondering why everyone was looking at us so strange...
After few months we made the most important decision that changed our lives forever and became members of the Church. As we attended the University Ward, we met fantastic and fun people. We had parties at our house every week with permission of the Bishop (sometimes he/his family attended).
As things happen in life, I got divorced and decided to search for my eternal companion. As Craig indicated we found each other online and on the first date I felt nervous but comfortable. We had few more dates and started to know him better but I wanted to wait for while to give more time to our relationship. He is very sweet, calm and very polite, has good parents and family and has a big heart and loves his kids so much. At this time I just wanted to give myself and my kids more time and we separated for a while. Few years later we reconnected again and the loving feeling started to grow back. I had the soft voice in my heart that told me that this was the time and he was the man that I would share my life for eternity. Craig is a sweet little kid in a man's body, funny, smart and kind, caring for others and very loving. He is my best friend. He makes me laugh so hard that I have to run to the bathroom fast or in other occasions I run out of breath. I do respect him as a Priesthood holder, because I believe he has the authority to guide me and my family and protect and love us as his own. Every time I learn new things from him, his sense of humor, his loving touch, his soft voice gives me calm in my heart. I just can't imagine living another life. We complement and respect each other all the time and we are still getting to know each other. I believe this is the beginning of a eternal marriage. I would like to grow older with him and see my grandchildren around us, getting to know them better. I believe I have been blessed (sometimes we have to go through a lot pain in life to realize how much we have learned and count our blessings) to have my kids and found Craig in my life.
I love you Craig.
