Richard and I 1st met back in September 2009, well let me go back and say Richard 1st saw me prior to a year ago because his cousin and wife were trying to hook us up and  showed Richard a picture of me at church. So technically Richard saw me before I saw him : ).  Anyway we met at his cousin's birthday get together September 2009. Actually I had just came there from a "friend"date that had and stopped through to see what all was going on. Everyone had spoken when I walked in except for Richard and my 1st thought was now I know I look good and you not gonna speak. But I think at that time Richard was seeing someone, so I guess that was ok. But Richard was just really quiet and didn't say much so I though whatever.  So fast forward to October 2009, us girls decided to meet up with the fellas and go to a local nightclub and have a good time. Richard of course was there and again we really didn't talk much but we danced a couple of times.  But we were standing next to each other and Richard's cousin Joe said Hey, let me take a picture of the two of you. So the picture you see of Richard and I on this page is the actually 1st picture we took together. So we didn't exchange numbers, Richard wasn't trying to get with me, so November passes and then comes December 18th 2009.  Richard's cousin and his wife were planning on going to play pool and invited a "group" of people to go. So when they picked me up from my house it was just them and Richard in the car. So I was like where is everybody else. So I think that was pretty much a set-up. So we went pack to their house to watch movies eat and just chill. So we were all talking and at the time I was talking with someone from the are code 314, so Richards cousin made a statement about leaving those 314 dudes alone and Richard chimed in and said yea you need a 618 dude, so I was like really?!? From there we started talking and we exchanged numbers right then and there and I've been with Richard everyday since then....It's funny because I look at that picture of Richard and I and we barely had a conversation and it took 2-3 months before we even exchanged numbers. But if you notice him and I did color coordinate : )
