Happy Anninversary


Hey family I am finally back. Monday was the 2 year anniversary for me & my wife Stephani (picture on the left). Although we have 25 (maybb more) years of a relationship this 2 year mark is very significant to us.

There are not enough words to put into description just how POWERFUL this QUEEN is. Now don't get me wrong we do go through but she has "STAYING POWER" bar none.

She has watched me and been there for me in some of my best moments and some of my worse moments and her caliber of woman is really a rare find.

We met when we were 15 through a mutual friend. Actually he was a guy I worked with on a summer job and she was the young lady he tried to hit on but for whatever reason didn't want to follow through. So he asked me if I wanted to meet her and after much reluctance I said yes.

After talking for about a week on the phone (could have been longer) we finally decided to meet. She asked me to meet her after cheerleader practice. That's right...brother was going to meet a cheerleader. She cheered for McKinley Tech (cheep plug for the school) and I was hyped about that. But I was not prepared for what I was about to encounter. I remember it as if it was yesterday.

I showed up to the school and took a seat on the bleachers. On the field were a bunch on girls in their cheerleading uniforms practicing and I didn't know which one was her. After practice this young lady was walking toward where I was sitting. As she got closer it got brighter because she had a glow in her skin. For real!!! She spoke and instantly I was in love. We have been through so much together and even during our individual moments of growth we never lost contact with each other.

My grandmother always said she was the one for me and I am so glad she had the opportunity to see us become parents and get married. As challenging as my personal life has been and is right now I still have to give her props for just putting up with me.

This time last year we were in Miami but this year I was unable to take her anywhere (due to the job situation) but I know that time will come. Anyway I want to say HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to Mrs. Stephani Frazier-Crawford. You are truly a GREAT Woman and I thank you for enriching, enhancing, complimenting and improving my life.

Once again there are not enough words for me to express my appreciation for you. So please accept my Thanks as a small token.
