We met at Israel's Alma Mater, Miami Central High School, where he was a football coach for the 8 year old team, the Miami Junior Rockets. Brandon was on the 7 year old team then, however, Israel was coaching my nephew, Andres. We officially met at Joseph Carter Park, where the boys had a game. Israel was shy and was standing the entire time. As a friendly gesture, I invited him to sit, as it had been a very long day. Our first conversation, he wanted to see my facebook page, can you believe it? Lol. Later after the game, we met, unplanned, at a mutual friend and fellow coach's house. We realized that we had so much in common in the nerdy things we both like. We bonded over things we ae passionate about such as Marvel, DC Comics, and video games. Yes, WE ENJOY ALL OF THE SAME THINGS. Lol. We texted and talked EVERYDAY after. The following weekend was a home football game, and my nephew, Andres's birthday, October 3rd, 2015. After the game, we made a deal. Both of our high schools were playing each other. The deal was if his school wins, I take him on a date, and if my school wins, he takes me on a date. Lol. My school lost but we both were winners from that moment on.
