How we met - Tim & Moni

1 Corinthians 13:4-7
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

After my divorce in 1996 my son coaxed me into going out to dance. I learned how to country dance and Cajun jitter-bug. I was going out with my son and sometimes my daughter would join us. For a while no one would ask me to dance because they saw me dancing with my son all the time. We were learning and teaching each other how to dance. One night a man walked up to me and wanted to know if my husband cared if he danced with me. I said "What?" They thought that my son was my husband - hahahahahaha!!! Once they found out I was not married, men started asking me to dance all night long.

I had a few guy friends, but obviously God had someone else in mind for me. I met Tim on a Friday night, July 2000, at Cactus Canyon. I was just standing by the rail next to the dance floor when he came flying by with another woman in his arms on the dance floor. We made eye contact each time he went around. Yeah, I thought he looked pretty handsome. He was neatly dressed and he could dance, but I just didn't think that I would have a chance to meet him. The place was crowded with people. As soon as that song was over another came on, I love to dance.

I felt this tap on my shoulder and it was Tim. I just wanted to melt and there was a tingle all the way down to my toes that made them wiggle. He asked me to dance and of course I couldn't turn a great looking guy down. Most especially cause he could dance, too. We ended up dancing the whole night. He found out that I could dance pretty good, too. He smelled so good. He had a dress cowboy hat on and his shirt was neatly tucked. He asked me if I would be back the next night and told him I wasn't sure.

Well guess what I showed up Saturday night and there he was - YUM YUM!!! We danced and we danced with other people, too. No rush you know. We danced to a slow song and then he kissed me. We just were formed for each other. That night he asked me if I wasn't doing anything on Sunday if I would like to go to a pool party. Of course, I said yes. And it started. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

We went everywhere together, moved in with each other about 6 months later, and my family loved him lots. Then January 2005 we took a 2 year break from each other to work out some issues of our own. Lost touch with each other after the hurricane "Rita" in 2005. February of 2007, I found Tim on myspace and it was like we never left each other. We were so excited to hear from one another. I said a prayer and asked God if this was His will that we be together then I would be patient to let it happen. We had a date February 11, 2007, went to the Mall. We took Johnathon with us. He loves his Mr. Tim. God brought us back together. We married on July 7, 2007. We have our rocky moments still, but this time we have God in our life and we get strength from Him to carry us through.

My daddy had told me that he saw a good man in Tim and for me to treat him good.

I love Tim with all my heart and soul.
