Part 2: The Beginning...

The Beginning...

THEN... that day arrives.

"He's Everything" "She's all that and more than I could've ever desired or hoped for!" "His Smile" "Her Eyes!" "Our stories, our likes, Oh my gosh...we are with the wrong person."

A double date that changed us inside and out. A date to remember for sure. "I wonder if you knew I was looking at you that way?" "I want to know more and wish I could tell you..." " I want someone like that, the look, the personality, and more. You have it all in one!"

Who would've thought that night (a night she debated weather she'd go at all), through laughter, conversation, questions after questions, desiring to know more that they would realize they were with the worng person and wanted to meet someone like they'd both saw tonight in one another. Not wanting to go, never knowing if they'd ever meet again, said their good byes and walked away in the rain. As they laid their heads down on this night, it was different. A sense of wanting and deserving of more out of life and the relationship they were in. Realizing they were just walking through the motions and daily routines of life. A love that we knew exsisted, couldn't find, and nearly gave up searching for it.

Several months had past and God opened a door for their paths to cross. The emails were business and not pleasure, although in the back of our minds, we wondered the "what ifs" but respected each other and never made a move or shared those thoughts. The smiles never left our faces, butterflies were within, never an akward moment as time passed by.

One night, she was bold, took a chance to share her thoughts, just in case there was something there realizing that we had something worth risking for sure! Later he expressed "if you return from Cancun single, I would make it offical!" and he did! Took her to the Sundial Restaraunt in Atlanta and asked if she'd be his girlfriend.

From that moment we have shared a love that is hard to express in words. A love that is shared not only in private but in public as well. Not ashamed of what we have but also an inspiration and looked at by the outside world. A love not taken forgranted yet blessed for sure. Even though we found love quickly, know that time stood still many moments along the way. A special love between two people! We knew what we were looking for, knew when we found it, and went after it. A love story so rare and true! Amazing, despite what others assumed around us. We knew what we felt that day! Soulmates that were destined to meet, if not that day, then in the days ahead. For our inner circle of friends and acquaintences was unreal.

The songs that were written about love, movies made to give people hope of finding such love, and fantasies that unraveled before our very eyes. They were written about us and our story. One so unique but to be shared. One to inspire others, the years we waited, how time stood still the day we met, the day we took a risk, the night we shared how we felt about each other, and how our love gave two people a purpose and new desire for life!

Later...

He said... "You remember that day you said, where have you been Hiding all these years and I told you I wasn't hiding, I had been waiting! Well, I've been waiting the past 6 months to tell you how I really feel about you and how my love has grown. I love you and want you to be my wife, Will you marry me?!"

He Bought a Ring,Then He proposed,We hope she said "Yes".So we can plan a wedding, And Beverly can finally rest,Congradulations Brandy and Wes!"

"A Love Worth Waiting For!""

I would rather have one day with you, feeling the way I do right now, then to never know what it felt like to be IN LOVE!"

Part 1: Have you ever been IN LOVE???

Have You Ever Been In Love...Where do you begin when you've waited a lifetime for someone to come into your life? To be your companion, friend, and soulmate. Someone who makes you feel needed, desired, and wanted in every way. Fulfilling a void one didn't know exsisted. You finally tell yourself this person doesn't exsist and that you will never find Mr. or Mrs. Right. You're settled in your ways, excepting that life is what it is. Telling yourself the next person who comes in your life is it for you. You get tired of waiting, sick of explaining why you haven't settled down in other peoples eyes or giving in to societies way of thinking as to how your life should go.

The tears, the prayers, the thoughts, dreams, hopes, goals and so much more rests on this Unknown person that has yet to waltz into your life. You have looked in every direction, sitting down at every restraunt, seeking people and prospects of being the one. Waiters and waitresses? College students? Classmates? Co-workers? In the stores? At Church? Events around town? Family Gatherings? Asking yourself, Is he or she the one? Giving a look here or there hoping for some response out of someone who may be looking in return. Awaiting an oportunity, an open door, invite, date, something, anything at this point. The clock is ticking. Time is of the essense. A desire to have a relationship, a partner, a companion, and fall in love! Have purpose other than the normal daily routine of the last umteen years of being alone or with the wrong one. As if we were wasting someone else's time here on Earth rather than actually being with this person you've desired your whole life to be with, yet never seen their face or met them in person.

Are you willing to Settle or be IN LOVE?

Then you ask yourself...When that day comes, how will you know He or she is the one? What does this person look like? What will you say? Will this person just knock on the door and say "I am the one you've been waiting for all your life?" Will this person pick me out of the crowd and say, "Your it for me?" Many thoughts of who this person is and where they are hiding continue to consume your mind. Waiting is the most God aweful experience that has been known to any human being. It's as if you feel it's there, it's close by, you feel and know this love and person is out there but can't touch or see them. It's just miserable without this unknown love that you've longed for. People try to encourage you, set you up on blind dates, tell you that your expectations are set too high and that nobody is perfect. It's as if they are saying settle for whatever is there before you, just as they did. Except for the fact that they have Their Stories and you want your own. You are dying inside and so tired of looking.
