I am a 38 year old single mom (won't be able to say that much longer!). I found the love of my life online and although it is a quick engagement, I am beyond sure that this is what God is calling us to. My fiance is 39 and has a son (same age as mine, 8) and a daughter (6). I can't wait to see what God brings out of our union!

Happily married 🎉
