Breezi’s Story
I met Khaleel in my first quarter at Cal Poly. He was in my class with a bunch of other athletes. I remember being on crutches from my knee surgery and a skinny boy with a half grown in beard offered to help me up the stairs one day. And of course, me being me, I said, “NO THANKS!” and stubbornly got myself up the stairs. I ended up showing up to class late that day due to the crutches slowing me down. The professor called me out on it and Khaleel said, “you could have just let me help you.” That is when he caught my eye.
Months went on and we were friendly but that was it. It was not until the night of January 16, 2016. I went to a party with my basketball team at the football house (shoutout 860 Del Rio). About 30 minutes into the party, Khaleel bluntly came up to me and said, “I just want to let you know I will marry you one day.”
***Please see the picture to the right that my teammate took for the exact moment this happened***
I remember thinking that this was a funny joke but after major persistence on his part (and the help of the entire football team and women’s basketball team), I decided to go on a date with him. The rest was history :)
Khaleel’s Story
In my first class of my first quarter at Cal Poly I saw this tall bleach blonde girl walk in with a bedazzled hat, belt buckle, and bootcut jeans… “I didn’t know Hannah Montana went to Cal Poly” I joked to one of my teammates as he too was drooling over her.
Months later, as she began to assimilate to the California lifestyle; dressed in a Lululemon workout fit & Rainbow flip flops; she delivered a PowerPoint presentation talking about her values, family, and goals. While every other girl in the class talked about superficial interests and passions, Breezi unknowingly was delivering her closing arguments on why she would be the one for me.
Her best and final pitch, however; came a few weeks later while I was playing pickup basketball at the rec with J Shead. In walks miss Hannah Montana, in full practice attire with the look of a killer in her eye: “I’m on next with you two,” she commanded to me and Jaylen with venom in her voice (iykyk)…12 points, a couple of steals, and a pair of “he can’t f**king guard me” and “he’s too soft!”s later, we were 3-0 and I was sold that I found my future wife…
…The rest was history
