It's all kind of a blur with how we crossed paths but the year was 2016 with a message in the DM and meeting at the bowling alley in Cleveland. 2016 was a year of cat and mouse and figuring out the paths that would lead us to each other. June 9, 2017 a "HEY STRANGER" message in the DM came right on time, we were both newly single. On June 10th (my 27th birthday) it's like I came to Cleveland and never went back home. Even on days I was in Greenville, I was mentally still in Cleveland video chatting every chance we could and talking until we fell asleep. It was puppy love, like we were high school kids again. After a month of dating, Jamaal was introduced to AJ. AJ instantly fell in love with Jamaal and Jamaal in love with AJ. Genesis being the oldest and very outspoken approved and that sealed the deal. At the very moment I knew I could love him forever. THE PROPOSAL It happened on January 3, 2020, during our normal Friday routine of going to his parents house so I could hang with my homegirl (his mother). Jamaal convinced me we need to go have a drink at our favorite spot then go over there, which I later found out was his excuse to get me to put clothes on. Before saying our good nights to head home, Jamaal got down on one knee and I thought he was joking. If you know us then you would understand Jamaal plays too much and I'm extremely goofy. I didn't give him a chance to ask the question before falling out over the floor. It was the perfect proposal.
