At first it wasn't meant be

When? 2004

Where? Gary Nohs' house

The first night that we met Tony had just returned from Virginia, where he was living with his brother Nat. I was wearing my old lady clothing as Tony likes to state, my hair was in a french braid and I was wearing glasses. Obviously there was something there to make Tony notice me. So a couple of weeks after that Gary had a party and again I saw Tony. This time we got to talk more because the last time I was playing cards and he ended up leaving early. So we talked and ended the night with a kiss. A couple of days later he asked me out on a date. We went to Applebee's. It was a nice time. We got to sit down and really learn about each other. Then about a day or 2 later Tony asked me to be his girlfriend. I said that I would have to think about it. I never has a boyfriend before so I was a little nervous and a little scared. I was also having some issues with an ex and things just weren't right. So I ended up calling Tony and leaving him a message saying that right now isn't the right time and it absolutely has nothing to do with him. Sorry to say that me and Tony didn't talk for about a year and a half after that.

So a year and a half later me, Tony, Gary, Jessica and Jenna start all hanging out. I liked Tony, but I wasn't sure if he felt the same way about me anymore. So I talked with Jessica and Jenna and saw how they felt about it and they told me that he was going to say no and not to waste my time. The only thing was that I couldn't listen to them. Something inside just kept telling me that I should talk to him, but when? Me, Jessica, Tony and Troy went to a friend's wedding and Jessica brought Tony as her date. That night I realized that Tony was the guy I wanted to be with. Little to my knowledge Tony felt the same way. So about a week later we were all at a party at Jessica's house and Tony was there, but he ended up leaving. I called him at about 2 in the morning. He came and picked me up and we talked. I asked Tony how he felt about me and he told me that he never lost feelings for me, but wasn't going to get hurt again. So I asked him, would you go out with me and at that moment he was tongue tied. He couldn't speak because I took his breath away.

We have been together ever since. We have lived together since October 2006. I wouldn't change it for anything in the world. He is the man of my dreams. We have 2 puppies together. And now we are planning the rest of our lives together. I can't wait to be Mrs. Anthony Campbell
