Greg and I first intersected paths at our young adult group at church. We ended up being in the same friend group for a bit, and one day when we all went out to eat, Greg decided he wanted to show me he was a gentleman and literally stalk me to my car (he doesn't agree). I wasn't expecting anything to happen after that, but as we hung out more, I started to get a LITTLE interested. A friend had a holiday party and I'll admit... I did think he looked handsome that day. After cracking some jokes and playfully roasting each other's ginger bread houses, Greg asked me on a date and here we are.
How Greg remembers how it all happened went like this. Through the trajectory of being swagmatic, his charisma and aura permeated her heart in this order: from the two illustrious parties, to the text, and then the first date. Mister Taylor could read the emmaculate power level of the vibes, so he proceeded with intention, action, and finesse like a G, per usual. Since then, she has yet to find what to do with herself.
My cousin, my blood brother I never had, my everything! I'll forever cherish the bond we've developed as kids, college students, and grown men out here!
Man! Started off as roommates of 5 years and ended up as brothers. We've shared & bonded so much. The journey we cultivated brought me back to church. Thank you for being a true brother!
I've known him since he was in diapers (he would say the other way around), but great mentor and ride or die... A true brother right here! One of the main reasons my faith is in tact. Thank you.
One of my main rollies! Since jumpin off the porch, we met at John Adams and became brothers since then. A person I can 100% rely on when I call, thank you for always being there..for it all!
Another jump off the porch, we met at the Word Church and were brothers ever since! My bible and business scholar I've had the pleasure of gettin it out the mud with. Thank you for building with me!
We practically lived together all our lives (haha!) We lived across the street from each other & grew up together! You're another real one I can rely on to answer. Thank you for being the same brother from young to old.
A brother from another...you'd think I'd say mother? Gotcha! From another brother! This is Joseph's cousin, we met the same time. I love the moments we've shared 1-on-1 & you are a genuine soul. Thank you for always being real and keepin it 100.
My big sis! I love the memories I have from growing up, you being such a caretaker and loving me with an authentically-you type of love. Always happy you're my sister.
My bestie of 17 years, from elementary, middle and high school to now. I miss our waiting for a ride after school, singing random songs and laughing at lunchtime days, but so happy we're here.
My lovely homegirl who gives the best hugs! I love the bond we've built over these years and our times of laughing over things that really don't be making sense to us.
My black power ranger, you've seen me (and Roy) in the struggle bus OSU years and still give the best love and support. So grateful for the friendship that blossomed since then.
My road dawg, it's only been a couple of years, but feels like a lifetime. I can always count on you for support, for encouragement and if I need backup ;D
