I always love to hear the stories of how two people got together. So tell me, how'd you and your hubby first lay eyes on each other? And when did you know that he was the one that you'd marry?

I had just moved back to California from my home state of Rhode Island. I knew I needed to find a new church so I went with my mom to hers. I first saw my husband on Ressurection Sunday of 1992. He was conducting the pulpit/ and preaching the Sunrise Service (this was before he started pastoring) and not knowing anything about him I knew right then I was going to marry him. A couple of Sundays later we were formally introduced. My mom would drive us to church, but because she was a Nurse, she had to work on some Sundays. Long story short... Father's day 92 mom had to work, so the pastor asked Rev Lewis (that's what I called him then) if he could give me a ride home and he was so excited to do so. Anyway, when we got to my mom's house there was a lock on her door that was locked. It had never been locked before this day, and hasn't been locked since. Rev. Lewis took me to lunch and we sat and talked for hours while we waited for my mom to come home. We learned we had so much in common until it was almost scary. Those few hours changed our lives, because July 29, 1992 we were married, and have been for fifteen years. He wanted to take me out for Mother's Day, but my mom, daughter and I had already made prior arrangements. But things worked out for the best anyhow and I can honestly say I have no regrets.

Wow, that's odd my husband and I met the same year and he told me that God said I would be his wife. 1992 was a good year. LOL

I knew the Lord hand picked my husband for me, just for the simple reason is because I wouldn't have picked him myself. My attraction was tall dark skinned men. My husband is just the opposite short and lighter than my choice. But who was I to argue with my Father. After all He does know best. And sense we both knew that God had said I was his wife and he was my husband it didn't make sense to either one of us to wait to do the legal part of it. But as we know when God is in it, everything works out right.

I met my husband at a job interview. Mercantile Credit Center. Jay was schedule for an interview at the same time as me. I arrive on sight 10 mins early, then my schedule interview, just to have a chance to look around, but that did not happen, when I arrive the lady at the front desk told me to have a seat. Jay walk took a seat right next to me, when he turn his head toward me to speek I notice something red on his lips. I turn my head toward his direction as if I was look at the painting on the wall. I just had to get anoter look at his lip, he turn and smile at me, I put my head down an smile he said what wrong, I told him I think you have something on you lips. Yes ladies it was lip stick, come to find out before he arrive for his interview his girl friend gave him a good luck kiss. As he began to wipe the lip stick off they call us both upstairs he interview with Mark and I interview with Renee. After my interview was over I started walking toward the elevators when I heard someone say hold up, it was Jay. We walk out side together I was so happy about the interview I talk so much I almost made him late for class. Renee call me and told me they decided to give me the job, I was very happy. For some reason I never forgot Jay I alway prayed that he would get the job or find him something better. A month past, I decided to go to lunch with my co- worker, on my way back from lunch I saw Jay walking inside the building. I jump up and down and said he got the job, my co-worker ask me who was I talking about, I told them never mind if I would say something you guy who think I like him or somthing. Two days later Jay class came to the mine floor, he was told he would train with Monique and Paula for the rest of the day. When I saw him walking toward me I could only smile, he said your the lady that interview at the same time I did, I said yes. Time past on Jay and I became best friend, then after about 4 or 5 month he decided he was in love with me. I would tell you more, but my husband just call, so I have to go.
