The Chase VI: Final Destination






Nice title right?  That sounds like a title for a movie.  I'm intrigued myself, like I don't know what direction this is heading.  If you follow my work here, then you know that I've been talking about The Chase for years now.  It's been a continuous adventure with many twist and turns.  I won't say that it's been fun.  It has been an eye opening experience.  When I met Alishia, I wasn't looking for anything.  I had talked myself into the bachelor's lifestyle.  Our story will never get old because it sounds unbelievable.  But it's true.  We weren't supposed to be together.  But we were.  I wasn't ready when she came into my life.  There is really no way to know when that life changer comes along to flip your world upside down.  Of course my wife the date of our first date.  Me, I don't have a clue.  It was a day and it was a date.  That's about all I can give you.  Who knew that date would lead to one of the best things to ever happen to me.  The connection is undeniable.  People see us in public and they think we are just acting.  The way we are in public is the way we are at home.  We love being around each other and it's organic.  Nothing is forced.  It did take a minute to get there.  That comfort level we have now took work to get to.  Our own existence as Mr. and Mrs. Freeman was its own experience.  We are truly newlyweds and we have just enjoying our time together.  I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love to make her happy, unless it has something to do with snap chat.  I truly have a beautiful wife.  She has this new obsession with makeup, but she was fine without it.  When we go out, she gets looks and I have no insecurity because I know she is crazy about me.  Showing her off has become my new hobby as she is dressing like a super star more often.  I always thought she should show off, but it took her going on vacation to let people know that she is a star.  Enough about the physical.  She is my inspiration and the reason that I am stepping out of my comfort zone more.  If I had her fearlessness, I could conquer so much more.  Watching her and getting to know her, you realize that her family is so important to her foundation.  Her heart is too big measure and makes me want more out of my own ambitions.  I like to just watch her interact with people.  She is that social butterfly while I watch before diving in around people.  At times we're opposite, as well as compatible.  It's an oxymoron I know, but it's true.  She accepted my daughter as her own and they get along so well that at times I'm taken aback by it.  There is no one else that I even considered marrying seriously.  Sometimes you just know.  Our families have known each other for years in a totally different city that Alishia and I have never been together in.  Our union was destined to happen.  I spent the past two weekends with her family and they took me in just like I've always been around.  I even got an award just for marrying Alishia.  I'm not sure if that's a good thing, but it happened.  I appreciate it and I acknowledge what it means.  My wife has her flaws as well as I.  Our strengths and weaknesses play off each other so well that we have a perfect union.  I'm looking forward to what is coming next.  The first thing she told me was that we were getting married.  It was a joke that become reality.  I'm thankful for her everyday.  I don't show it well, but I do adore my wife.  I'll never be good enough for her, but I'm better for what she brings to me daily.  Now if I could only get that stomach to grow.
