How did we meet?

I was in 6th grade at F.S. Ervin Elementary School. My 6th grade class one day went to Camden School of Arts and Techonology for transition day. Its a day where we get to tour the middle school and meet all of our new teachers. Derrick was in one of the classes we went in! He told one of my old friends that “I was going to be his girlfriend!” Lol, fast forward to about a week later, he was on facebook doing “TBH’s” and he did mine in his inbox. Long story short, he became my boyfriend and we made it official on May 23rd, 2018!

The proposal

On December 13th, 2020, we travled to Montgomery, Al to take family Christmas pictures. I went and got my make up done that morning while Derrick and DJ was at my moms. After I made it back to my moms apartment, we started to get dressed to leave and take pictures. Everyone was acting all normal! I had no clue lol. We were getting ready to change into our second outfit for pictures which was pajamas. So, my mom said I should take an offgaurd picture of myself staring at the ceiling smiling lol. I did not think anything of it lol. So, I am standing there smiling at the ceiling. The photographer had me holding my stand for a while, I kept wondering what was going on. Then she told me “hold on, keep standing like that I have to use the restroom!” The whole time she was stalling so Derrick could get ready to propose. She finally came back and started taking my pictures and then she said “okay, turn around” when I turned around Derrick was on one knee! I was crying like a baby lol. Then I looked up and seen so many people there. Best day of my Life!!!!
