We met in 2009 at work and we began to have a conversation one day after work. That conversation turned into several conversations. We had a strong connection and it was obvious that it was there. I knew then that he was the one for me but our timing wasn't right. In 2015 he sent me email stating that he wanted to take me to a concert. I didn't believe him at the time but as the date got closer he confirmed the concert time and we went on a date to see Erkyah Badu. He also planned another concert for us in June to see Eric Benet. I knew then he was serious and this was the beginning of our relationship.

Earlier in the year Brandon told me to clear my schedule because we were going to Memphis to celebrate his frat brother's birthday. He told me to make sure to get my nails and hair done. He also told me that we would be leaving on August 30. I asked Brandon what I needed to pack and he said a swim suit, something in case we go out and some casual clothes. That night I was packing my clothes and some options but I really wasn't worried about it since we were going to Memphis. I pack my regular snack bag when I go on road trip as well. That morning I end up changing bags and packing a couple more items. I pack one swimsuit since we were just swimming in the pool at the hotel. Brandon arrived and we were running behind schedule to get the rental car from the airport. He said that we might have to park in front of the airport and I started to wonder why would we do that? We end up parking the car and he told me to leave my snack bag and get my suitcase because we have to catch a flight!! I was surprised and at the same time I was trying to figure out where we were going. He made sure to tell the lady not to tell me as we checked in our bags. Our flight was running behind so when I looked it wasn't showing the flight information anymore. We got on the plane and he said do you want me to tell you where we are going. I said yes. He said we're going to Houston, TX. I was excited because that's better than Memphis. Once we got to Houston he said I lied we got to catch another flight. I was full of excitement and when we got on the plane he let me know that we were going to Miami!! He also surprised me with tickets to Jay Z and Beyonce concert. He was full of surprises and I didn't not know that he had one more surprise waiting for me.

Brandon told me that we were going to go out to eat tonight. I ask him what time and how I should dress. He told me to dress nice but not too dressy. We get dress and we head to Italian restaurant. We sat over by the window where we could see the water. It was a beautiful view. We ate and the waiter asked us if we wanted dessert. I was full but I told the waiter sure but we could share. It started to rain so we had to move because the rain was getting on us. We move to a bigger table but we sat close to one another. The waiter came with the dessert and as he set it on a table Brandon gave me a sheet of paper. The paper was title The Things I Love about you. He asked me to read it and so I did. When I got done reading the letter the dessert was in front of me that said Will you marry me? He was down on one knee with the ring case open and he ask Will I marry him? Of course I said YES!!! He surprise me. This was the best weekend!! The best surprise for last. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in Arkansas!!!
