Life Brand New

Disenchanted with relationships, I met my wife backstage after a performance. She was beautiful, in a leopard dress and cowboy boots, my kryptonite! She had a sweet, sassy demeaner. A career woman, who had her own life and a strong Christian faith. I found her refreshing, and not like anyone I had ever known. Drawn to each other, we began to wonder what life together might look like. She let me know very early on that she was the marrying kind. I realized a woman like her doesn’t come along very often.
