Ken and I met online through ChristianMingle.com. He wrote to me first, but I couldn't answer right away. By the time I could respond, over one month had gone by. Thankfully, everything was in God's hands, and His timing is perfect. Ken was on a mission trip to Peru, and we spent a wonderful two-and-a-half weeks writing and getting to know each other!
Ken came home from Peru on Sept 12th (2012). I could tell he was as excited to meet me as I was to meet him - he asked me to dinner the night he got back home. We had a wonderful time, and then Ken did something that showed me that he was the one I had been searching for. You see, my budget was tight, and priorities required that I didn't have cell phone service. So imagine my surprise and gratitude when he went to his car after dinner, and brought out a cell phone for my use. "Don't worry, it has unlimited minutes, and unlimited texting. I know single moms need a cell phone, so use it as you see fit." I don't think I've ever heard anything more romantic. So after a couple more dates, when he proposed to me, I couldn't refuse! He didn't make it official until he had asked my dad, and then right there that night, he knelt down and asked for my hand in marriage! |
