It was 2004 our sophomore year in high school when I first noticed Joseph. We were in business & finance academy class, when his infectious laughter caught my attention. He was definitely the class clown, & very handsome. We would always flirt with one another. Until one day, I decided to put myself out there at our senior auction that he was a part of. I was the highest bidder & won a date with him. Sad to say, I never got my date. 13 years later in 2017, I went to a pool party that just so happened to be at his house. I saw his mom and I asked was Joseph around. If so, tell him I said "Hi". His mom goes into the house & says "Joe there is a beautiful, chocolate girl outside asking for you & you need to go outside. She is definitely wifey material ". Joseph managed to come outside hours later, playing hard to get & it has been history ever since. Although, I never got my date in high school. Years later God blessed me with my soulmate, my best friend, & most of all my husband.
