Our Love Story was
A Beach Romance Right from the beginning
They say it always happens when you least expect it.
In our case, neither one of us were looking for it
and had given up hope that true love only existed in
fairy tales or Hollywood romance movies.
I had countless relationships that never went anywhere,
and they were all missing something.
Christy had been married before for ten years to a very abusive man.
She did have two wonderful boys who were only 8 & 3 at the time.
We weren’t looking at all but the night we met had to be fate.
I had been working out of town for months and
just happen to be in town that night.
Some co-workers and I had decided to go to the bar at the hotel
they were staying at but it was really dead in there so
we decided to try Bojangles.
I had just started seeing this girl Michelle who was with us that night.
I went to the bar to get another drink and when i turned around
I noticed this really beautiful girl walking toward me and
I felt like she was looking right at me.
It was like we connected instantly
before we even spoke one word to each other!
Later on,
I was returning from the restroom and I noticed she was crying
and asked her what was wrong.
To make a long story short I boldly decided to kiss her and when I did …
It was like time stood still!!
It was literally just like the movies!!
The music stopped and everyone else around us just faded away!
The crazy thing was my girlfriend was right around the corner and
eventually I realized that and said I have to go.
The moment I said that,
and we weren’t kissing any more
it was like slowly the music faded back in
and everyone else around us started appearing again!
I didn’t even get her number that night,
but we eventually found each other again by the forces of nature.
My girlfriend at the time had found out we went out together one night,
and after numerous avoided calls and texts had rode to my house
to find Christy’s Dodge Durango sitting in the driveway with the keys in it.
This crazy girl decides to bash it with a steel pipe then got in it
and rammed it into an oak tree several times completely totaling it
after Christy had just made her first car payment!!
I told my friends at work I was done with girls
and was just going to party all the time and live the single life.
They all laughed and said me and Christy would be together in a week.
Turned out they were right!
I could not stop thinking about her
and felt so different and strong toward her
like i had never felt before!!
We went out the next weekend when I came back from out of town
and when we were together it felt like
no one else was around us like the moment
we had the first time we kissed.
I felt overwhelmed with emotion like I was going to explode!
I finally had to tell her I loved her and wanted to be together exclusively
and I was really freaked out a little because i didn’t think it was possible
to love someone so quick that we had only met like 2 weeks ago!
I told her to come out on the balcony that I needed to talk
and she thought I was going to tell her I didn’t want to see her anymore
and make her cry.
So,
when I told her how I felt she said she was so glad I told her that
because she was feeling the same thing but didn’t want to tell me first because
I would think she’s crazy!
After that night it’s like we were on a whole other level
and so connected spiritually like we had known each other our whole lives!
We would talk to each other and say the exact same thing at the same time
and then laugh about it together at the same time too.
It happened so much it kind of freaked us out a little.
We moved in together after only seeing each other for a month,
the boys embraced me with open arms,
we dated for a couple years.
Her favorite place to go escape would be the beach
and listen to the ocean waves crashing.
I had planned for a while to ask her to marry me
and decided there would be no better place than the beach!!
First,
I had to ask her sons, our sons, if I could marry their mom?
I showed them the ring and it was our secret.
They were so excited. I asked Aaron, our oldest,
to be my best man.
I wanted to surprise her when I asked her
and played it off like we were going to do a weekend getaway
to the beach since we had done that before in the past.
What I had envisioned in my head was we would walk on the beach
right close to the water and
she would see this beautiful shell in the sand and open it
and there would be her engagement ring and me on one knee
asking for her hand in marriage.
So I saved enough money and bought her the ring and started planning.
I went to our local oyster restaurant and talked to the manager
and told them what I was planning to do,
so they gave me 2 oyster shell haves and wished me good luck.
I cleaned them up the best i could and put the ring inside
and glued the shells together.
When we got to the beach I threw some trash in the trash
can so i could discretely slip the shell in my pocket.
I was a nervous wreck trying to figure out how this was going to play out
and when I reached in my pocket I felt the 2 shell halves had fallen apart
and I could not feel the ring in my pocket!
My heart instantly fell and all I could think was
I must have thrown it in the trash can by accident!
I was just about to start running for the trash can when I finally felt the ring
and then had to piece it all back together with one hand in my pocket
while trying to act normal!
So I said,
let’s sit down and watch the waves.
I set it out beside me and stood up and said whats that and pointed to it.
She ran behind me and said “I don’t know but I’m not touching it!!
So
I decided to pick it up and opened it and got on one knee
and I was so nervous
I was stuttering and asked her to marry me.
She said no you’re not!!
I guess she couldn’t believe I was asking her.
And she didn’t say anything for a minute
and I said is that a yes?
and she was like of course I will marry you!!
I thought you would never ask!!
So,
we started planning and decided to set the date six months later!
We originally thought about having a casual beach wedding
but decided to have a traditional church wedding
and her daddy to walk her down the aisle because
he did not do that with her first marriage.
She didn’t have a wedding;
she knew it was not her forever.
Our kids were by our sides,
with family & friends.
I have always been a firm believer in God
and putting him first in everything we do.
So I requested that my uncle Titus who is a very powerful man of God
to marry us and I had a lot of respect for this man!!
So,
we have been married almost ten years now
and they have really been the best years of our lives!!
We based our marriage on God and prayer and always doing things together
as a family and always talking things out without going to bed angry.
We have been through a lot of tough times financially and spiritually
and no matter how hard it gets we always come together
and figure things out and it brings us even closer!
Almost 2 years ago,
Christy’s wonderful baby brother Robert decided to buy us both plane tickets
to come with him to Maui!
The experience we had while there was life changing!
Everything is so beautiful its like a dream you never want to wake up from!!
We both fell in love with the Aloha spirit
and the true meaning and way of life here!
We have 2 wonderful boys Aaron (20) and Kyle (15)
and 2 beautiful angels
that were both born in Gods arms Christian Makayla and Jadon Kai.
Christy had a very special connection with Makayla
when we were here last
and I have some amazing pix.

A Luv Story Blessing – Born on the Beach.
When you least expect it … expect it
😉
And so it was, with Divine resonance, that True Love was found.
When it seemed like only in a Hollywood movie
Could such a miracle of Love manifest.
But the drama of a Hollywood movie would indeed unfold
with the total wreck of Christy’s brand-new truck…
Hope ya had “jaded girlfriend insurance” :-O
In true Hollywood romance form,
The ultra-romantic Jason had heaps of drama
setting up the right moment to ask the big question…
and nearly losing the ring
:-O
It all adds up to a block buster romance including…
Living Happily ever after!
And so, it is here on this beach, like it was when Jason first proposed…
That we gather in this oasis of beauty
Alive with the Spirits of nature and all the personal angels
that watch over us from just beyond the vail of our perception…
yet are Always Already Alright and in our Hearts and Souls
as we celebrate the beauty of Love.
