I knew that this time for come.....I prayed for her and her husband to be.  I asked God to prepare the man that would become her husband.  Well, that time has come and I sure hope God heard my prayers cause TJ Hill will have his hands full.  Lol.  They met almost 6 years ago, I guess 8 years ago now.  Nothing was between them but Samantha went to Rocky Mount for her best friend's wedding and Love was in the air.  I remember her coming home and all she could talk about was "TJ".  She told me and her BGF that she was going to marry him.  Then a few months later they found out they were expecting a blessing the following year in March.  Talk about a hard time....Samantha was so sick, and we didn't even know if she was going to get to keep the baby.  But she got better, like 7 months into the pregnancy.  About 4 months in she found out that Lillianna was going to be born with a cleft lip, didn't know if the pallet would be involved or not.  No matter, that baby was so loved and wanted.  The night that she was born was the night that my little girl became a woman.  She changed the instant she saw Lillianna.  Love was all around.

TJ is a great daddy and he works hard to take care of both of them. He finally bought the ring and popped the question on July 10th on top of a mountain.  We couldn't do it on flat land, oh no....let's climb up two miles on the side of a mountain.  Ok, two hours later I made it to the top just so I could see him ask her.  Thought I was going to die.  But it was so worth it and she was so surprised.  I loved it.  The trip down the mountain was just as hard....I told Phil to go on and leave me...I could be food for the bears.  Really!!!!

Anyway, this weekend Samantha, Dana, and I are back up in the mountains looking for wedding venues.  She wants to get married in the mountains.  We live at the beach, people love getting married at the beach but not my girl.  She wants the mountains.  So here we are.  Hope we find just the right place.  Stay tuned for all the fun.
