Giz and I met on the party line and Myspace. 😂 We talked on the phone for months. One day Lixee, one of my bridesmaids, invited me to her bday Luau. 🌴 I invited Giz and he asked his cousin Bobby, one of his groomsmen, if he could borrow his car. Thank God Bobby let him use it cause we finally met on May 9th, 2009. We went to the Luau and had a great time. We all thought Giz was the coolest guy cause he introduced us to Pandora. 🎼 My older brother Jeff (RIP) was at the party and gave Giz the green light to stay the night cause we had been drinking. (No i didnt give it up, I made him wait almost a year! 💁🏻‍♀️) When I woke up in the morning, I left to use the restroom and as I'm walking back Giz let out the gnarliest and wettest fart. He wasn’t embarrassed at all. 🤦🏻‍♀️ That really broke the ice, lol. We got ready to have breakfast and this is where I got to know the real Gizmo! We were eating at a diner in Coronado San Diego, I thought out loud, “I wonder if they accept debit here”? Gizmo yells out to our server from, ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE ROOM, “HEY YO YO SERVER!!! YALL TAKE DEBIT HERE?” The whole restaurant stared at us. I was so emabrrassed but he had no shame. I then realized Giz was special. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Fast forward, we’ve been togther since the day we met. We chose May 9th as our wedding date cause it’s our 11 year anniversary! We have two precious children Adriela and Brandon. This is our love story. Life hasn’t been perfect but we’re perfect for each other!

This very day we were visiting San Diego cause I was a bridesmaid and was having brunch for my cousin's, Michelle now one of my bridesmaid 🖤, bridal get together. Giz picked me up and decided to take a trip down memory lane. He drove to the very place we first met (Paradise Hills). Then we drove to every house we used to live together sharing memories. 💕 After driving all around San Diego, we went to Sunset Cliffs. We got out, walked a bit, and he stood behind me to watch the sunset. I felt him step back so I turned around and saw Giz on one knee. I assumed he dropped something so I bent down and started to help him look for whatever he dropped. 🤦🏻‍♀️ He was so nervous. He started crying and proposed. 💍 Of course I said YES! As soon as we hugged we look up and 40-50 people who were either tourist, locals jogging, or people hanging out all started clapping and congratulating us! Apparently they all knew what he was about to do. 🖤
