Meeting My Husband

I never thought I would find my husband in college, let alone at a club!

The night we met, we didn’t plan on going out, but our friends convinced us to join. At this moment in our lives, we were focusing on personal growth and loving ourselves.

My friends pointed out that Dante was staring at me from across the room, so I approached him to dance and exchange numbers. We talked about our similarities, such as being college athletes, what we want in a relationship, and having kids.

So I let him take me home!

Was this Gods Plan?

On the ride home from the club, the song God’s Plan by Drake played on the radio for the first time. I know the lyrics don’t match this situation, but I found it a sign that Dante might be the one.

When I got home, I ran and told my friends that I was pretty sure I found my husband.

We went on our first date a couple of days later to glow in the dark putt-putt golf.

I felt SO comfortable with Dante that I farted in front of him on the first date. Sorry to break it to you fellas, we do it too!

I was so confident that Dante was the one. I mean, I invited him on my spring break trip to Mexico after five days of knowing him. “That’s crazy!” is what my mom said. Especially since she hadn’t met him yet, it was out of the ordinary for me, but it felt right.

Baecation!

We had such a great time in Mexico and only grew as a couple. From our late-night talks by the ocean to dancing all night under the stars, our love flourished.

At this time, we weren’t officially dating, but I knew he would be asking me soon. Sure enough, come Valentine’s Day 2018, he asked me to be his girlfriend.

Growing up, people would say my standards were too high for a husband. Dante sure proved them wrong!

What I want to leave with you today is, don’t lower your standards for anyone. There is someone out there who checks all your boxes and will love you unconditionally for being you!
