His Love!

It seems fitting, but I think I should talk about the Love that I am going to marry! After all it is the reason why I'm getting married.

His name is LeVell Charles McClain III.

Some of you that know me might be asking yourself 

a series of questions about his last name and mine.
Those of you that don't already know.
My last name is McClain also and NO we are not married, yet!  We just happen to have the same last name. How perfect is that. I don't have to go through the process and change my name!! YAY!!!

LeVell and I met June 10, 2008 on Facebook. We actually started communicating because of our last name.  So you can say our last name brought us together. We talked here and there until about June 2010. We exchanged phone numbers and started communication on the phone. Around the 10th of October we met for the first time. I remember it like it was yesterday. Hanging out at his Sister's, meeting his family, talking, listening and just really being in the moment. And when it was time for me to go, he opened my door and kissed me on my forehead. 

My heart melted. I knew at that moment that I really really wanted to know more about this guy. I know this sounds crazy, but within a week I had fallen madly in love with him. I remember praying to God one night and I specifically asked God for guidance and direction. See I was dating others and seeing other people. I was scared. I wanted to be loved so much. I had already been through so much. A 5 year relationship that ended up in scandal (lol) and out of that hurt I fell for a mutual acquaintance. We helped each other heal our hearts, but our disappointment we never got to be a couple. Then I became the "Other Woman" and found myself falling for him (no bueno). Seeing another, who I later found out had a WIFE and child! I was so in the dark. smh. And the one I thought was it for me, ended up being a NIGHTMARE. It was fun when it started until I realized he did not want what I wanted. We were definitely not meant to me. There was countless others I met and ran from. I was soooo lost. I wanted someone to be into me. Love me. Was that sooo much to ask??

The day LeVell walked into my life. He was in love with just ME. He has held my hand, kissed me, walked on the outside of me when we walked on the sidewalk, opened my door, helped me down from the stairs, picked me up when I've tripped (literally), carried the groceries, walked with me, met my family and even supported me when all he wanted to do is stay home.  He has been at my side always. But why I love him so is because he loves me 24/7. Every moment of the day and when we are away from each other he misses me just as much as I miss him. Did I say it already.. He Loves Me.

I can not tell you how good LOVE feels. When you know you've got it. When you lay in it's arms at night and you fit perfectly. When you know that's your spot and no one else can take it. It's awesome and every day it gets better and better. It is soooo great to be in Love with such a great guy. My heart skips all the time.

We have so much fun together. There is never a dull moment with the two of us. We're happy folks. Now don't get me wrong. We have out disagreements and arguments. We've gotten angry and didn't want to talk to one another, but after a while the anger goes away and we're back to being us. The best thing we do is communicate with each other. We understand there are things he won't understand and there are things that I won't understand.We get it, but we talk it out regardless. We've even spent time talking about if we could cheat on each other... yeah it's very enlightened. We are open and honest about our feelings. He's the first and only Man I have been totally open and honest with. I couldn't hide a thing from him. It even getting hard not to show him my wedding dress LOL. Eventually I tell him everything just as much as he tells me everything. 

So when he got on one knee and asked with his voice shaking if I Stacy McClain would be with him for the rest of our lives I knew it was yes. On Saturday, December 17, 2011 I felt like my life started all over again. He wants to marry me? Have you ever thought about that statement. How profound that a man makes the choice and chooses you. WOW... That's the best feeling any woman can feel. It's amazing to know that someone loves that much. Ladies when you find that one, you know it. Trust your hearts. Follow them. There is nothing more amazing then love. I share it every day with him and as the guys at work tell me, I've become a different persons because of it. They say they like me more since post LeVell. They're too cute.

First Christmas 2010 in Watts, California

Looking past this year. It has had it's ups and downs. I've learned a lot about him and me. I believe we've grown closer. As we get ready for the New Year and five months to go for our wedding I know if we do it together nothing can stop us.  

So to all you single women and  men out there my words to you are... there is someone out there for you. Maybe you shouldn't be looking so hard. Have fun and enjoy life. When you stop looking things have a way of showing up on your doorstep. Take your time. Getting married at 38 is not so bad. So it took me longer than my mother or my sister or my best friend. So what. That's what God wanted me to do. I wasn't ready and now I am. 

When your ready it will happen too. 

Sweet Talk & Love
