Our Story...

Our Story is one rooted in deep friendship, respect and a connection that overwhelms us every time we discover how much a like we truly are.    Any doubts about destiny and true love, which has always been a belief only realized in soap operas and movies, in my opinion, finally became a reality when Steve and I took a leap and began a journey that was sealed with a wedding that was not only magical, but surreal.

 

We walked away not only loving each other more, but realizing that true love is real, not imagined and can only be experienced if you truly know, understand , respect and accept each other for who they are, and not for what they may or may not have.  We don’t regret our past, but embrace it as our life journey made us who we are today.  It led us to each other, to happiness and to a blended family that enjoys having new sisters, a new brother with adoring parents.

 

This magical journey began in June 2007 when I accepted a job at the Latin American Community Center.  Steve who is the I.T. Director was one of the first staff members I came into contact with.  We immediately hit it off as friends.    He was very curious and friendly and I was very serious with a cold exterior that he ignored and slowly warmed.    We were always the first ones to arrive.   He would announce his presence by making his signature “coquí” sound.  That was his way of saying good morning - I’m ready for my morning conversation and cup of coffee.   During those moments we would talk about our family, our problems and our dreams.  Steve always had a way of making my bad days happy and my good days even happier.  Starting our work day together, in hindsight, was therapeutic; we developed a friendship based on mutual respect and admiration.  

 

As we progressed through our own personal lives and realizing that those situations were no longer viable, I made a firm decision to stay single, reclaim my identity and take control of my life without any interference from any member of the opposite sex. Yes, I had my blinders on, but Steve was always there saying “what about me?”   I never wanted to have that type of relationship with him, but my daughter Sophia and his daughter Gabby saw what I refused to believe, we belong together. It was their persistence that made me realize, I should at least give it a try.

 

With the blinders removed and securely thrown away, living in a new home filled with happiness, love and,  of course it includes, all the drama that goes with raising four kids, we always remind each other that we love each other no matter what.  It’s a mantra that always reignites our passion. 

 

I go to sleep each night cherishing that I’m married to Steve and that each and every day is filled with dreams come true.    We can’t wait to live through the next phase of this exhilarating journey we call love, life and happiness.
