This wonderful man was already my best friend in Newport. When I returned from leave in San Diego that August, his red-bearded smile at the airport should have been a clue - it was about to become something more. It was a week or so later that Carlton asked if I would be his girl. My immediate response was "Okay, but don't waste my time, buddy" then I smiled and blushed I'm sure, and he was at ease.
He took my hand and we kissed, in the cover of moonlight on Newport's Cliff Walk. I knew then that I could really love this man. With counseling from our Pastor and support from family and friends we moved quickly into marriage. The rest is history... Every day as my husband, best friend, and now fantastic new father, Carlton proves even more to be the man God intended for me to marry, and I am eternally grateful.
