We met through mutual friends one night at Avery's college apartment in October 2012. We talked a little and left as friends. A few weeks later, me and some friends came to hang out for North Carolina A&T's homecoming festivities. During the weekend we got closer, Avery expressed his interest, and we spent some time getting to know each other. Even though we exchanged numbers, it would not be until February 2013 when we would actually connect again. We had a great conversation at a party and the rest was history! We began dating, which gradually led to us officially becoming a couple July 2013. 9 years later here we are!
JaPeera and I first met through mutual friends. A buddy of mine was dating her roommate at the time and he thought she and I should meet. When she and I met she saw the potential, but I was not her favorite. I was a young man in his 20's having a great time and she did not think a relationship was my focus. She had no idea, but I knew she would love me forever. After a few hiccups or as I like to say "getting to know each other" she decided to give herself a chance at happiness. After several years and multiple states later, we have finally reached the next level in our relationship. I thank each of you for being a part in witnessing the next step in our loving journey!
