Our Love Story

The day I met Kenny Owens, will be a day I will NEVER forget! It was in June of 2004; June 19th to be exact! I was going through a tough time in my life & needed to just get out! So...a couple of my friends/cousins & I decided to ride to, what was then, Gametime to "parking lot pimp" LOL! "Parking lot pimp" is what we did when we decided to just "chill" in the parking lot of the club and not go in! I know...sounds a little crazy...but that's what we did when I was 19 years old LOL!! First of all, I have never been the type of girl to “holla” at a dude, but this particular night, I was in rare form & was having so much fun! So, I spotted this SUPER CUTE, light-skinned dude with braids that had on a green jersey! I was determined to get “the boy in the green jersey” phone number & was not leaving Greenville until I got it!! Long story short, I got his number in the parking lot of Gametime & we became friends. We went on one date & that was it! We were just what I said…friends...no more, no less! We carried on this friendship for about three years off & on...I thought he was one of the best friends I’d ever had! We talked about EVERYTHING! In October of 2007, I ran into Kenny in his uncle’s club, Alley Gator’s. We had not talked or seen each other in a long time! I agreed to go visit him one Saturday night after that just to “chill” & that “chill” turned into something serious! I never expected it to go as far as it did, but you cannot run from true love when it finds you. We started out “talking” & made it “official” on January 18, 2008. A couple of weeks shy of our 4 year anniversary, Kenny asked me to be his wife! Another day I will NEVER forget…December 25, 2011…a very special Christmas Day!!! I wrote the following words in a poem to Kenny ("Kay") for Valentine’s Day in 2008 that sums up the love I have for the Love of My Life, my fiance: “…The key to my heart,I thought I threw away. Some how, some way you got it, And now I’m here to stay. I almost missed out…The thought brings chills over me. But timing and patience,I learned is the key. One last time, I’ve fallen in love. But this time I truly believe You’re my angel sent from above.”
Enjoy our Love Story!!!

Christmas 2011....Part II

So...Kenny had a "part II" of my Christmas gift & totally surprised me!  After exchanging gifts, he told me that he had brought some champagne and glasses for us to make a toast to my parents.  Huh???!!!  Ok...that was totally strange, even though it crossed my mind for a sec, I still didn't think he was going to propose!  I never expected him to propose on a holiday & I really did not expect him to do it in front of anybody!  So...I just said ok!  Keep in mind, it was Christmas Day & my entire family was at my house for Christmas dinner!  After the blessing of the food...Kenny made a toast to my parents AAANNNDDD.................. :)

    I am sitting here praying to God that he brings back my memory the words that I wrote to Ashley and Kay earlier on their blog, but somehow I didn’t post it right.… So, here it goes…
    Being the next to the oldest sister to Ashley and watching her grow from a baby to an adult has been such a wonderful journey… I can remember when my mother told my sister Little Bit and I that she was pregnant we were upset because we were getting ready to start High School and so, that meant we were going to have to do a lot more babysitting… We were already babysitting our middle sister Tab and now here come Ashley…We started calling her the Oops Baby…LOL. But I thank God every day for my sisters… I am sooo Thankful that he saw fit for our parents to Bless Little Bit and me with two wonderful awesome spoiled sisters (Tab & Ashley)…But never the less; I can truly say that I have the best Sisters in the world, Angela, Faith, Tab and Ashley… But right now my heart is full of happiest and joy that my baby sister (a.k.a Ashley Ann Thomas) is getting ready to start the 3rd chapter of her life. I am sooo proud of Ashley and Kay… Sun. Dec. 25, 2012 will be a day that I will never forget beside, having my baby girl Alicia… As my husband and I were driving home from Deland, FL that Sunday after church…I was soooo anxious into getting home to see my baby girl because this was our 1st Christmas Eve away from each other… And as we were driving in the rain and talking; we were about 2 hours away from home (9796 HWY 101 S Gray Court, SC) and around 4:30pm my phone rung and it was Ashley. She was crying and with a soft tender voice she said “Faye, Kay asked me to marry him” and I just begin to scream and then before I knew it I hung up the phone and cried to my husband and said “Kay ask her to marry him and I wasn’t there”…LOL… I was crying and telling my husband OMG Ashley is really getting married Ashley is getting married… And then after a few minutes later, I called Ashley back and started screaming and congratulating her all at the same time… That was one of the happiest days of my life…It was sooo funny to me…And from that moment on I think I called her about 20 times after that saying to her , “OMG Ashley you are getting married.” LOL… But Thank God for technology…I sometime wonder how did we make it in the past when there was not technology…LOL
