How do you know when you have found Mr. Right? I like to think it is when you finally say "NO" to Mr. Wrong. I was 25 soon to be 26 years old and had reached a point in my life where I was willing to love me alone. I looked in the mirror one night late in June and said no more. I remember erasing numbers from my phone, praying and asking God to clear my head. I had finally realized that the cliche "I been there and did that", applied to me. Then...I met him, Mr. Right! A few days had passed, and I was busy with school, work, and my kids. July 4th was fast approaching, but that was the least of my concerns. Funny thing about our story is he had been there all along. We actually met at a memorial day bar be que in May.  Courtney was born and raised in Georgia. Courtney is a good ole "Country Boy", but he swears he is not country. I remember the night of transition all too well. I was sitting on my porch July 4th on a Saturday night I believe doing homework. I usually never do homework outside, but that night was different. I recall him standing across the street looking over at me while he was smoking a cigarrette. His Aunt lived across the street from me at the time. He waved at me and I called out for him to come over and open my bottle of wine.  HEY I HAD TO GET HIM TO COME OVER! He did and we sat and talked for a quick thrity minutes. The time flew by and he had to leave. I thought we would make good friends since we both stayed in Winder, and were both single. A few dates, drinks, conversations, dinners, and weeks later I agreed to be his lady on July 28, 2009.  My heart told me to take a chance with him despite our past (Some of which is questionable and only a need to know basis) . I recall sharing our desires, and my dreams since Courtney is a day by day type of man. Everything I want he wants, and vice versa. We are in love,  and cherish each others strengths despite any weakness. Our parents even get a long.   The rest is present and for the future! Thank you for taking the time to read this.
