CF

We met back in I believe the summer of 2006 from a mutual friend .
I was at Wendys with some friends and boog and my boyfriend picked me up and we were introduced. Now if you were to ask boog what happened on our car ride to Ritas he would say I was in the backseat dickeating on all the jokes he was making, but if I recall I was just laughing at his jokes because I thought they were funny. Either way after we hung out for the first time everything just went back to normal. Until one day boog started dating one of my friends which made our relationship a little closer just because he would ask me about her and I would ask him for advice about my boyfriend/his friend.
Unfortunately some relationships have to come to an end and around the same time both of our relationships ended and we both were left single, and still friends. In between time we always stayed connected and ended up realizing we had a lot in common and hung out a lot but always with other people never alone.

We would go to concerts together ..

we would go to gatherings together ..

and I was even boogs senior prom date aww!! ..

At one point he even considered us “special friends” .. Ask boog what that means because I never got it.
But through all of this there was never any connection. It was CLEAR however that boog liked me [was never pressed or hype, but liked me] but I never really liked him nor was I attracted to him. He was just always my “big homie” shout to mal lmao.
So I went on with my life he went on with his, we both had our “hook ups” and then finally during I believe it was Christmas break, boog came over so that we could make a cake from scratch for his mom. He tells me now that he would try to find any possible way to hang out with me, so I guess this was one of those occasions.
So before this like earlier in the week my girl, my love, the only other name I’ll write about on this post KALIA BAKER!! Was trying to convince me that I should talk to boog but I was still like “NO!”
So fast forward back to boog and me in my kitchen making this nasty cake ..

something FINALLY clicks in my mind that I liked him. I remember he was sitting in the black chair furthest from you in the picture and I was at the sink which is right behind that chair and I was looking at the back of his head like "omg I cant believe I finally see it, I think I really like him". Everything since then has been history, and my kitchen is now marked as the place that I fell in love with boogey!!

My point for writing this is mainly because boog will be turning 19, on Wednesday and besides all the wonderful things that I will be doing for him I wanted to make it a point to him and everyone else, that I will ride for him and be there for him till the very end no matter what the outcome is. Being so close to each other at college is not as easy as people may think .. besides people always saying “oh you just came down here for your boyfriend” and worrying that one day someone will say “oh I saw your man with ..” it can be very hard! There’s a lot that we have to be careful of.
At the end of the day however I did not come down here to be close to him and breath down his neck, I came down here to get a good education and get an experience of a lifetime by surrounding myself with other black people that are just as focused and determined as I am and breaking down these negative stereotypes that people put on young black people every single day.

Boogey I love you soo much!! You made it another year being and doing exactly what you should be and I could not be anymore thankful or proud to be your girlfriend. You have taught me so much without even knowing it, I look up to you and love every little thing about you. If anything you are my best friend, my homie, my nigga lol over my boyfriend which is why our relationship is the way it is. Every time I think of your parents I think of us because they did exactly what we are doing right now and look at the results, perfection. No matter how annoying I may get, how many arguments we have, ANY little boy that tries to interfere, etc. I will always be yours and we will always be chasing forever .. friend or lover.


HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY!!
Get ready for Wednesday =)

Love, my
