Motherland Moments to Mexico Memories

I’ll never forget receiving a call from my cousin Jeanlanette: while getting my nails done. I typically never answer my phone while getting my nails done but seeing her name pop up made me feel like I had to answer because she’s forever going to call you but also always forgetting to do so. So I answer and she says Mudders (childhood nickname) what you up to. My response was getting my nails done. She says you’re always getting your nails done. I said every two weeks, lol. She proceeded to say I won’t keep you but I have this nice young man doing an internship at my job and I think you should let him take you out. Oh yea, and you’re on speaker phone. So with little to no hesitation I said, I trust your judgement you can give him my number. I must say our first date was hands down the best first date I had ever been on. We went to Painting with a Twist and I was fashionably late. Upon arrival I was greeted by others statinh “the birthday girl is here.” I wasbery confused but clarified that it was only our first date. Another women respond saying if this is only your first date: I can tell you now that he’s a keeper. However, once I was seated I discovered there was a gift bag waiting for me. I didn’t even open it right away because I had to catch up on my painting and even helped Ray with his along the way.
