We don’t know how many times our lives have crossed paths, but God knew we were meant for each other. It all started the night of the Marine Corps Birthday Ball in 2008; Monica was wearing that black dress and her eyes were popping. Which lead to many weekend gatherings with friends at Monica’s house and making lots of unforgettable memories. Joe carried her up the stairs at that time and she has since carried him to a better place. The Corps took Joe away cross country from DC to CA, Afghanistan, and to Japan but they remained friends through it all, our connection is truly special. We now realize that God had bigger plans for us. Joe reconnected thru Instagram messenger on 11/11/2018 with an innocent enough message of “Hey, how’s everything” while he was in AZ and from there on their story as one began. Joe said, “I love you”, Monica said “Your drunk” then she said, “I love you”. Here we are now with Gods Plan in place: Us, our kids - JayCee, Jayden, Aleah & Nicolas, our fur baby Diesel, our home, and our life forever.
