34 okay Kendra and Lamont have been married now for eight years they met in college Kendra was very taken aback by Lamont now Lamont was a type of person to where is when she first met him see she wasn't sure if he was someone that she would necessarily see herself marrying because Lamont was known for being a player he was a basketball player while in college he went to school on the full scholarship this is out in Chicago they went to school out in Chicago okay and that's where they lived after the longest before moving to Oklahoma yeah what's going on with my hair hold on baby let me

got community ding-a-ling no girl no I want someone who is not like that and eventually will want to settle down and her best friend was like girl you always talking about getting married we in college we're at a frat party live a little Kendra was a quote-unquote good girl you know she went to church every Sunday and she didn't drink she didn't smoke and she was in school for interior interior design okay she always wanted to move to the bigger cities like up on the east coast and be a designer for the celebrities or even out in LA we're gonna go to LA girl cuz pow maybe there anyway y'all so they're many college and he like I said we're gonna go fast forward many college she fell in love with him and that be it so one other thing I want to mitching and their life before they get got married he let her know that he was all about building wealth which is why he wanted to be a stockbroker and that's what he eventually did he became a stockbroker for one of the major firms out in Chicago and he made a lot of money that is until he started gambling um Lamont used to do a little bit of gambling online while in college but it went another level when he started to making money big money he was making good money as a stockbroker and also Kendra her hopes and dreams were to eventually start her own design company have her own company where she was designing parties and eventually houses and stuff like that you know what I mean so this is how Kendra found out found out about Lamont's addiction and how bad he had gotten she said work and and again she said work and all of a sudden she sees someone getting her car together and she's like what is going on and at the time she dropped she drove a newer BMW and she went outside because one of the co-workers like I'm Kendra you ain't gonna want to go outside there's someone putting your your car up to get towed and she's like no that doesn't sound right so Kendra goes outside and sure enough there's someone putting her and the man was like ma'am um I've been tasked to come out here to pick up your car for non-payment she's like non-payment that doesn't sound right let me go ahead and put my get my husband on the on the phone didn't leave my car alone he said man I have a job to do so he went ahead and told her car Kendra was devastated and shocked she's like this has to be wrong so she gives Lamont a call at work and he's busy busy right so he said we'll talk about it later baby go talk about it I'll figure it out right she gets home and she's like what's going on Lamont why is my why was my car being towed and he's like you know it has to be misunderstanding I'll get it figure out so Lamont basically told her he would figure it out but really he didn't Kendra soon find out that Lamont was losing a lot of money they were getting further and further into credit card credit card debt they lost all of their vehicles they had to downsize to a smaller home and she felt a certain type of way because he lied to her about it and he's like I'm so sorry you know I didn't know it would it would get this bad and she's like well how bad is it how bad are we and he finally admitted that they were a quarter of a million in depth and she was like I cannot believe this on top of that they were having infertility issues Kendra was fairly young well girl what the heck is going on I see my child out here playing these loud ass kids child this is my child real quick in between is this is so funny my neighbor's grandbaby is over her so much that my neighbor was like why does she have a southern accent I don't know why your grandbaby have a southern accent I don't know where she could get it from and between all of this they were trying to have a baby they were trying to get pregnant and so Kendra at the time was 26 years old and she was fine you know she should be able to you know get pregnant so they went to go check get checked out Lamont sperm count was fine there was nothing wrong with him and what the doctors infertility specialist were thinking was that she was just so stressed and stressed out and so they tried month at the month at the month finally after almost a year of trying to get pregnant Kendra gets pregnant she's ecstatic unfortunately within the second month she loses her baby she is devastated doing this time Lamont is steadily they're going into depth he also ended up having an affair with someone that he met online and he met this person in one of the gambling sites and they started talking and this was like an ongoing affair for like a couple of months and so he ended up admitting it to Kendra because she she was in the dark she was in the dark on a lot of stuff y'all and so because he just kept it a secret he didn't he Lamont was or is a type of man to wear he feels like he can fix it but instead of fixing things he makes it work so you know one of those type of people instead of coming clean he lies to try to cover it because he wants to keep up the appearances that everything is fine everything is okay by the time she found out they were so far down the hole there was no line there was no way he could lie his way out of this okay so he had to come clean they ended up going to therapy okay they they did like a year long worth of therapy and cuz Kendra was done she was ready to go this is Chris again my neighbor Chris with his loud ass car hold on y'all she was like I'm over it she was ready to move in with her parents and be done after the loss of their baby so that happened they went through a year of therapy he begged and pleaded with her said that things will be okay they went through the therapy now we are three or four years after all of that has happened and Lamont went to they did couples therapy but he also got help for his addiction for his gambling addiction now Lamont has this great idea of moving to Oklahoma to his family's old farmhouse and to start his own stock company there whatever you want to call it you know cuz it's a small town and he figured he could get some clients and the other neighboring cities and he can go into business for himself and so finally she agreed to do it so they're making plans to go and this is when Kendra notices that something's off with her body and so after taking four or five pregnancy tests and finally making an appointment to see her doctor she finds out that she is pregnant she's ecstatic but she's also nervous because she's considered high risk not only that but they're in the middle of considering a move to another city and that's stressful okay so she shares the good news for her husband Lamont and he's ecstatic he's happy he's always want to be a father well overdue so at this point you guys this makes Kendra 30 years old and Lamont like I said is 33 34 years old okay so they decide to hold off to doing anything until she gets past or 14 16 weeks okay and so once they're past that they're gonna pack everything up and move out to Oklahoma okay so she get past it y'all she gets up to 16 weeks and that's when they decide to move down to this small little time in Oklahoma now Lamont has family that lives in this city he has his uncle and his aunt and he has a couple of cousins that live out there or country people a couple of cousins like four or five cousins that live out there right so they go ahead and they have already seen the house you know they already flew out there previously to see what it looks like and Kendra thinks is beautiful it sits on an acre of land and she has so many great ideas on how to decorate the house it has a beautiful wraparound porch and all of that so let me give you all descriptions of what these people look like okay so Kendra stands at about five foot six she wears a size 12 so mama she's plush okay she's fair-skinned and she has dimples okay Lamont is chocolate and Lamont is tall because he's to play basketball he stands at about six five actually that's how tall he is and he has broad shoulders and he is athletic built of course so Lamont looks like yeah what is that basketball player let me say who Lamont looks like he looks like that but basketball player that song on the mask on on the math singer let me look up his name y'all and Kendra looks like a blue contrail for a skinning person blue contrail Victor Olodipo I know I am really jacking up his name so that's what he looks like y'all not he's not cute but he's not you know what I mean like y'all look not everybody in these stories gonna be fine as hell not everybody gonna be a Paul she's this what it is some people gonna be average looking and Lamont is average looking now Kendra is pretty as hell she's very pretty with those cute especially with those dimples she's cute okay so alright y'all so Kendra's pregnant they have decided to move down to Oklahoma so they are laying in bed and it's the night before they are moving and the night before they're leaving and so she's tossing and turning in bed Lamont rose over and he's like are you okay is it is it the baby she's like no it is not it's not that I'm just I'm a little bit nervous and he says I know you are honey but look I promise you once we get there you're gonna love it you know my aunt is great and she could show you around town you know possibly introduce you to some new clients and you can get started work there and she's like yeah but I'm not sure if I want to dive into work right now especially with the move and being pregnant I just really want to take my time and he's like yeah it's it's whatever you want to do honey just I don't want you to have to worry about anything and that's when he squeezes her and they fall asleep okay so y'all they end up moving and everything goes great it's planned it's a fairly large form house and like I said it sits on an acre of land so Lamont knows a little bit about forming and he knows how to get around and do some stuff but Kendra can't really help him as much much because again she's pregnant and you know with her being high-risk she just needs to be careful so they need to hire some help to help around not only with helping them around the house you know to get things settled in but also around the form because the form is old that goes ahead and starts asking people around and that's when his aunt was like my friend nephew to help you he's really good with stuff like this now his aunt you guys it's crotchety she ain't one of those nice southern aunts she's always suspicious of everyone she judges everybody she don't she doesn't care who it is so his aunt is what could be a good crotchety petty name for an older aunt but a old name Aunt Ella aunt Ella so Aunt Ella is not your traditional or maybe it is a traditional you judging people yeah that's part of her she's passive-aggressive and but she absolutely adores Kendra and she loves the fact that they have moved it there and that Lamont is back now aunt Ella helped to raise Lamont her sister passed with cancer now he never knew his father and so his mom he was he was always with his mother and she unfortunately passed away from breast cancer at a young age okay it's always on Ella and so aunt Ella was is basically his mother okay so she's like oh baby you don't have to worry about that I can go ahead and get my friends nephew they help you borrow he's real good with stuff around here he helps a lot of other people around in this town so I'll have her to give you a call to give you his number okay so he's like cool so they're getting settled in and this is now the first week that they're there so Kendra's in the in the kitchen she's unpacking and that's when she sits down and she's rubbing her bait and she's rubbing her belly and she's like oh I'm just so tired she's like you know what I don't think I can cook anything tonight honey he's like don't worry about that we can order a pizza we can order in and we'll be fine so they order a pizza so for the first time in a long time Kendra is absolutely happy as she's nervous but she's pregnant with their first baby and they don't know the sex by the way you guys and so one of the things she definitely wants to do once they can get this person to come in and help them unpack and with the farm is that she wants to get started on decorating the house and definitely decorating the nursery she cannot wait to go get fabrics and do all of that okay you guys so a couple of days go by and Kendra now has to go to the grocery store she let Lamont know who's in his office working on something that she's gonna hatch the grocery store and pick up a couple of groceries now they have hired the man Byron and so they're very happy about that so she's on her way to the grocery store girl like a big little wiggly so I don't know what they have a little big little wiggly grocery store and she doesn't get a cart or a buggy she gets one of the handheld you know what she probably shouldn't do but she has a few things to get so she's okay right she's walking around looking at some stuff and when she turns to corner she bumps into someone and of course the person in front of her is not watching either so she runs into this person doesn't even see who it is the items in her little carrying in cart come flying out onto the ground and she's like oh my god I'm so sorry so she gets down and she gets it and she hears to the person that she ran into who is a man says oh I'm so sorry let me help you with that no no no let me help you so he reaches down to get it so she her head is down so she's picking on her stuff up you know like a couple of things and she gets them she's like it's okay I just I'm so sorry I and when she gets up y'all she stops talking full stop because this young man is beautiful this guy looks like the actor that plays on Queen sugar what's his name Kofi yeah a Lamont is chocolate but this man is blue black and he is beautiful look like he has been sculpted by God's honey he's again I know you okay are you okay I'm so sorry I didn't see you she's like you know I it's okay I should be watching where I'm going considering I'm walking two people here he's a yeah yeah I see that so what are you do and he smiles and girl beautiful white tea that's like I'm actually doing me he's a oh I'm a baby and she's like yeah so he's like I don't think I've ever seen you in town before she's like how do you know he's like I think I would have noticed someone like you and that's what she looked at him he said well what I'm trying to say is that I would have noticed you with your little belly she kind of laugh and she's like well actually my husband and I just moved here from Chicago he's like oh that's nice well I won't hold you up any longer take care okay no no no I'm sorry again so she's like okay and so he walks off she goes y'all she's like she walks off and yeah she says to her so I have mercy honey she doesn't know if it's the pregnancy hormone hormones or what so she gets her stuff and she checks out as she checking out she could see the guy that she went into chicken not to he has broad shoulders now he's a little bit shorter than my mom like my month six five this guy's probably six two six three okay but he looks like Kofi y'all what is he is he I can feel it I can feel the rice I can feel the cheekbones he's gonna he's gonna he's gonna in good name he's from Ghana so um can't just feeling a little flush so she needs to take her ass home so she gets a little bitty groceries and she goes home and that's where you know I was like hey honey how's how was the grocery store it was fine I got everything and she's a cute little grocery store he's okay well just to let you know I got a call from the guy that my aunt told me to consider her and he should be here within the next hour so she got okay that's cool so you know Kendra starts putting a stuff away and that's when she heads upstairs and she starts unboxing and she's sharing up within an hour she can hear voices downstairs when she makes her way downstairs and she walks into the living room that's when she hears her husband introduce her and say well hey here's my beautiful wife right now I'm Kendra I want you to meet Byron Byron this is Kendra and Byron turns around and Kendra is a little shocked it is the handsome young man that she met at the grocery store all right y'all that's part one of gray skies
