Sometimes going through images I find one I've overlooked. https://www.instagram.com/p/CgAkvWXpG3h/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We be out here doing stuff... I mentioned waiting for what you want and need in a relationship. Here's a prime example: This dude has been friend since I was 9 y/o (54 now). He told me: I want someone that's a Cancer like me: better yet, I want them to have the SAME BIRTHDAY! I said: "good luck 🤞". Sometimes... don't listen to your friends (they might be on stupid day). Well, just know this is his wife and we was out there celebrating THEY BIRTHDAY 🥳 Declare what you want, write it down (post it up) and work on yourself preparing to receive that thing (relationship, dream, business, passion, etc) #lawofattraction #gotit #keepdreaming https://www.instagram.com/p/CfuD-DGJJs3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We be out here doing stuff... She says I make her laugh That was one of the things on her list I needed to be with someone that gave me freedom to be me - and then appreciate my genuine self ✅ I suppose it matters to know what you need and want, put that in your prayers and into the Universe and begin to draw on those cords #vision #wifeynow #mygirl #hebefunny (at Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfsdS05rpHI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We be out here just doing stuff... The joy that I have rollin' with a girl: my Shorty. She had us out here going to other places and cities on the mad getaway. But then... if you're reading this and sending us good vibes - then peep out her finished ring set. Got it finally set and placed on her hand (according to her very specific specifications). In love and in life it adds "magic" to the process when you're focused and specific - it helps more if you write it down. But nevertheless, keep dreaming. #wifey #thisisus #havingfun #goingplaces #traveling (at Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfmgQtSPsI5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We be out here doing stuff... That day in 2022 we posted up in front of our FIRST place together (she literally wasn't sharing a house with me UNTIL we were married)! And held to it. I was impressed. I think we've been there not quite three months and other more opportunities are on the horizon (part of the Vision/Plan); with a Vision, the people prosper. #vision #favor #thisisus #wifeynow #standards #lady #conviction (at Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfZ0EO9v6as/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We be out here doing stuff... I don't think we gone be hiking too much until Winter... it's HOT this year! But when we do go, how refreshing and challenging. The time we spend and the images that's created (Shorty got her own gear and BRAND new CAMERA BAG: Mamiya c330 w/TLR 80mm lens) Until Winter, I think 🤔 it's gonna be mid-week Salsa Dance Lessons.... #wifeynow #myshorty #doingus https://www.instagram.com/p/CfZyZAgvSL8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We be out here doing stuff... I came to her with Purpose and Vision; and now we're executing the Plan [for us]. I have to say - she gave me a legit opportunity (I asked for it). Our desires for Love matched. Our dreams for the future: compatible. We never diminished one another's goals and dreams. Personally, I'm better with her . Today, I celebrate Life: New Life. We get a fresh Mercy daily. And our Love routines make our days right. p.s. I keep posting her face and that smile and talking like this because (like the Mother's of the Church used to say): you don't know like I know what the Lord has done for me! #wifeynow #happyaf #peacematters https://www.instagram.com/p/CfXSBdivsx-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We be out here doing stuff... That on time after Church and we stopped by a nearby city; and then I saw the light - stop right there (and miraculously she indulges me) This is where I document us; tell our story back to us through images. We all have these tools (some of us have better ones... iPhone 13 Pro Max w/the Flux Capacitor wifey). But take pictures and have fun with it.

We be out here doing stuff... After having a way busy week: necessary family functions, work, guest at the house (which we love), individual appointments, work meetings and new duties at work... we met up Sunday evening to connect/re-connect, try a new restaurant, see each other's face alone and get realigned for the coming week. ....because Life can make us miss each other AND AND AND Love is Intentional. And because the professional photographer/IT dude couldn't get his phone camera to work and she did, this is the smile 😁 and clowning I get! Wouldn't change a thing. #wifeynow #stillhavingfun #thefoodwasgood #intentionallove #consciouseffort https://www.instagram.com/p/CfTBSaJOYqt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We be out here doing stuff... This is one of those days after Church. Worship is important to us. We need Him! Entering into a relationship (marriage) requires him to bring a vision: a vision for life and ministry (service). It answers the core questions: what are we doing and why; where are we going and how do we get there? These questions brings up other healthy dynamics - but this is the core. And this is why we do what we do: we lift Him, serve Him and put Him at the center. #worshipHim #wifeynow #doing-us (at Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfP2s6uJYzk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We be out here doing stuff... Finally! I been getting beach ready for my Hot Boy Summer for years. And now I'm ready.

We be out here doing stuff... We set up the house to be a home - we Love what we're building (it's a cozy home), but often we'll roll out and post up just to watch the cinematic drama of the setting Sun. A bench, the Ocean, the Sun equals cheap date and Free Therapy. #wifeynow #goldenhour #sunset (at The Ocean) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfJ6ZFhpcxK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
