Our Story
I met him while he was working... A friend of mine and I had went to Jamaica for my last springbreak of undergrad. We decided to go to Jamaica because we got the trip so cheap. So we went to Breezes Runaway Bay. One morning while eating breakfast I looked up and saw what seemed like the only guy who had not already offered to marry me or breed me. LOL! He was working so hard and not even paying attention to me, so I took out my camera and started snapping pictures of him. He noticed smiled and continued his work. He didn't stop to talk to me or anything, so I was like that is that. Never talked to him again.
The last day of my trip, my friend and I decided to take a walk on the beach where we were meeting some friends. He happened to be there. We talked (he acted like he wanted nothing more than a conversation) and at the end of the conversation, he asked me for my email address so we could keep in contact.
We emailed each other sometimes, not often at first. I went to Jamaica many many times (4 times in one year). But not until over a year later did we share our first kiss. It was beautiful and I had known for a long time that I loved this man. We kissed, we talked, we laughed... Another half year would pass until we made it official.
I often ask him why he waited so long and moved so slow and he says, god sent me to him, but I wasn't ready so he waited until the time was right and it has been right everyday since.
He claims I was his from the first day we met...I think he is right!
I started a nonprofit in Jamaica called JamReads International, Inc. and he helps with organizing, planning, etc. I know it's love, he works for free to put smiles on the kids faces just for me.
