Summer was coming to an end and my cousin invited me to come with her to her school's open house. If you guys grew up with us, you knew when you saw one of us you saw all of us! And even more funny, even though we all went to different schools, you couldn't tell us that we didn't belong at Pembroke Pines Charter! We were by the basketball court and everyone kept saying this name "Barry". I heard of him because he was the new kid around school but I never physically seen nor met him before. An old friend came up to me and was like, "Come on, you have to meet Barry!" In my head I was like 'oh goddd, here we go just another girl about to stroke his ego' but I was like oh to hell with it and decided to follow her. As soon as we walked onto the court, all I saw was a light skin boy sitting there dribbling the ball. The first thing that vomited out of my mouth was, "oh so youuu'reeeeee Barry.." and all he said was "yea" and walked away. LMAO I WANTED TO DIE!! Instantly I was like "Oh wow, this kid is such an asshole!" *Fast forward - the next 2 years we started going on dates. One night when we were inside of the arcade at Muvico waiting to get picked up by our parents, we were playing the motorcycle game where Barry took a moment and said, "we've been talking for awhile now and I was wondering..will you be my girlfriend?" Instantly I said "yes". When we got into our parent's car, we both sent the text message "6.7.08" at the same time and knew we found something special <3
Barry had been shopping for the perfect ring but just couldn't think of the "perfect time" to ask. His sister, Tiffany, gave him the idea to pop the question during our 2nd child's gender reveal. Everyone who we loved would be there, Meilani will be able to witness daddy going down on one knee, and it was already going to be such a special day why not add a proposal into the mix?! The countdown starting from 10 began, the blue smoke made its way to the sky, and that was the moment for Barry. He made one of his speeches that we all know he's good for and then shifted the speech onto me and dropped down on one knee. It was an immediate yes with tears & what did everyone say at the end? "FINALLYYYY!!"
