Our first date took place in Westport, KC on a weekend when I was in town visiting for another wedding. We had a great time, stopping by a few local bars and even bumping into a few friends. The evening ended at Up-Down bar/arcade, but the weekend did not. I asked Andrea to attend the wedding reception the following night with me, and she accepted. It was there that she got to meet a handful of family and family friends, and they hit it off great. This was also the first time she vetoed one of my 2am Casino trips, but was certainly not the last. After that, we stayed in touch, and I made an effort to make a trip back to Kansas City at least once per month. Some time later, Andrea made the difficult decision to leave Kansas City and come join me in Midland, TX. After living there for about a year, she was offered a great job... back in Kansas City. We moved back in 2022, and are still living here to this day, but with the addition of our perfect son, David Joseph Berry II. I think I speak for Andrea, myself, and both families when I say we couldn't be happier with how things turned out, and we are really looking forward to our future together. We are very thankful to be surrounded by such wonderful and supporting friends and family, and look forward to sharing the rest of our lives with you all!
