Derrick and I met forever ago at Phil Long Ford where we both worked. You are all probably thinking, ohhhh she saw Derrick and just instantly fell in love.... well no. I thought he was a pain in the ass... hahaha. The first time I met him I told him off for spilling creamer in the work fridge (even though he doesn't even drink coffee). He did try to tell me he doesn't drink coffee, but I assumed he was just lying to get out of being in trouble. Later on, we met again at a 4th of July party at a family member's house. That is where I met Luxe and Little De. Luxe, of course, fell in love with me and I also fell in love with her. We were almost inseparable the whole party.

Once Derrick, Luxe, and Little De had to leave, Derrick picked Luxe up and she reached out to me crying and yelling, "JOOOOWWWYYYYYYYY." It was very cute. After the party I decided to find him on Facebook and add him as a friend (if you ask Derrick, he says I stalked him). He then messaged me, and we talked for a while, then he begged and begged for a date. After a day or so I finally agreed, and we went on our first date. After that first date we just never stopped hanging out with each other. AND BOOM! 7 years later (and lots of waiting on my end) we are finally doing the damn thing!
