Artina

I am Artina (Tina) and on August 23, 2014 I will be marrying my true best friend. We have been together for 7 years. However, we have been friends for about 9 years, he was my little brother mentor and during the course of that time he spent a lot of time with my babies as well. His time with them left such an impact that my eldest, then 5 year old hinted at the idea for us to date. We were in Marshalls and she said "Mom look at this make up Tina and Tony." my response was “Good job reading." Her rebuttal "Mom you get it Tina and Tony. Don’t you think Tony is cute?" I laughed it off. That evening during one of our regular friend movie nights I mentioned my daughters hint. We both laughed it off and here we are years later through an amazing friendship and even better love, ups and downs, and the building of a family dynamic I couldn’t even have dreamed of.
