2 years prior to meeting Christian, I made a quick decision to give up living on my own and move in with two friends Claudia and Lauren. It was a hard decision at the time, feeling as though I was moving backwards in life, when in reality it set me up for my future. When both my roommates decided to leave San Diego, I helped plan their going away parties. Claudia's was set for October 14th, a day we will always remember, because it was the day that changed our lives. Christian and Claudia have been friends for years while both living in San Diego, I remember hearing his name multiple times, but even while living with Claudia, we never met. Christian was late to the going away party, (a few bars in, and a champagne breakfast late) but he made it. We still don't agree on the place we met ( he thinks Moonshine, I think Bootlegger) but we both agree that a NASA hat and a dance floor was involved. As Christian tells it, the next day he asked Claudia " Where have you been hiding your roommate" and he looked me up on Facebook. Having given him my number the night before, he waited the appropriate 3 days to call and ask for a Date. Our first date was nice, yet a little awkward. We both left the date feeling unsure how it went. Christian thought he blew it, and I thought he was not interested. That Sunday, on a whim I decided to invite him to watch the Patriots game with me and some friends, and he accepted. After the game we went to a Thai restaurant right next door and had a heart to heart about our life, our pasts, and our hopes for our future. After dinner, like a gentleman, Christian walked me home and a goodnight kiss on a downtown street corner sealed our fate!
