Our journey began at the lively roller-skating rink, where the music was loud, and the laughter infectious. Nick, with a smirk and a smooth line, approached me, saying, "I don't want to bother you, I just want to be a Fan." It was unexpected, to say the least, but his charm was undeniable. My feet ached from all the roller skating, and he didn't miss a beat, offering to give them a soothing rub. It was quirky, but oddly endearing.

However, despite the initial spark, I vanished, ghosting him for two weeks. But Nick wasn't one to give up easily. He persisted, his determination shining through in his attempts to win me over. His idea for our first date? Indoor skydiving. It was unconventional, to say the least, but there was something about his audacity that made me smile.

Nick's boldness didn't end there. He introduced himself to my brothers Tommy and Deandre, as my future boyfriend, earning a few raised eyebrows and chuckles. But there was something about his confidence that I couldn't shake.

As we parted ways that night, Nick surprised me yet again. With a simple "Forget it," he turned around and kissed me, our first kiss igniting a spark between us that couldn't be denied. Despite his dislike for long drives, Nick would travel 45 minutes each way just to see me, bringing us closer with each passing moment.

Nights spent at each other's houses became the norm, deepening our connection. And then, on my 25th birthday, Nick pulled off the ultimate surprise. Renting an AirBnB, he gathered all my friends and family, culminating in a proposal that left me speechless. Of course, I said yes.

Now, as we look toward the future, our beautiful daughter, Xurelia, a testament to our love and commitment, fills our lives with joy. We're excited to continue growing our family together, each passing moment a reminder of the love and adventure that brought us together in the first place.
