A girl and her man

This is the title of  my new blog. As if i dont have enough already. But this is purely about Nate and I and all the stuff that comes from being love.

Oh, those are his second best. His first is the source...

I flip the channel and there is the breaking news.A plane has crashed over Nairobi's Highrise Estate. The plane owned by AIM was on its way to Kibera to take pictures...
