When He’s Around

My smiles widen when he's around. He stretches my lips like elastic. He pulls at my cheeks like clay. My tears dry when he's around. He soaks them up like a dry towel. He lets them run dry like the Sahara. Pain ceases when he's around. He evaporates them like a cloud. He chases them …

Life in Nigeria (Prologue)

I've always been good at adapting to new situations, and often times, new people. So it wasn't too surprising when I got to Nigeria that I instantly felt at home. No, not because my husband's family was beautifully welcoming.  Nor was it the fact that I had actually known my in-laws for several years before …

New Life

Things have been crazy to say the least. We are now officially married as of December, and it has not been easy. People tell you that all of the time, don't they? That marriage isn't easy. That you do so much learning and growing. Oh, but you do a WHOLE LOTTA failing too. You fail …

Genesis Part 2

Wow has it been a while.  My life has taken one crazy turn after another and it's been an insane roller coaster. To those of you still riding with us, we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We can't express the love and gratitude we feel for those who've stayed tuned …

Another Step

So we are in full swing, baby!!!! Woooo!!!! Yes, September is right around the corner which means in less than 4 months, I will be seeing the love of my life for the first time in my life. I know how insane that sentence sounds, but the truth is the truth. I've fallen in love …

From Rose & Saint…

Mine

His name is written loudly on my chest. Mere words can't describe us. They don't do him justice. This is a beauty indescribable. A love that is remarkable. Perfectly imperfect, it is mine. He belongs to me as I belong to him. No fear just passion. No fight just strength. And I don't care what …

God and a Saint

Given the opportunity to love, I take it. Given the chance to be loved, I take it. Given the blessing to know, I feel it. Given the gift to see, I know it. This is beautiful and I no longer fear the unknown that awaits. To live in each moment with a sword and a …

Can’t Get Enough

Damn, I can't get enough. The way he stares at me. His gaze burrows into my soul and sets me ablaze. Damn, I can't get enough. The way he smiles when I laugh like hearing it makes his day. Damn, I can't get enough. The way he stops me from talking in mid-sentence to tell …

In Focus

A manifested thought from the valleys of my mind A realized dream from the corners of my soul A sudden boom from no where scrambling my senses Don't know where to look Don't know where to go Don't know why I'm here But it doesn't matter 'cause you're here too Dizzy, we stand on an …
