How We Met

12/29/2018

I always love telling this story! Two days after studying and working abroad in the Czech Republic I met my very own European here in the states. I guess I needed a piece of Europe with me forever. As fate may have it, Nikita and I both swiped right on Bumble and immediately started talking. Two days later we went on our first date. One that we were both so nervous for but did not know why. I remember Nikita was so nervous and shocked that I actually wanted to talk and learn about him that on the drive to the restaurant he thought a flashing yellow light was a stop! I just looked at him and said what are you doing! From there we laughed and enjoyed each others company so much that we decided to see an impromptu movie. That of which Nikita kept talking. I was like what is with this guy! So while he was talking about how his babushka knitted him hats during winter, I cut him off and kissed him. I then said "if you don't shut up there will be no more kisses for you". I know bold, but hey it worked! And the rest is history.
