Our lives changed forever in the wee hours of a frigid morning on January 14th, 2012, in Manhattan. We were blessed to meet the “old fashioned way” in person, at a nightclub, with locked gazes, qualifying questions, followed by the bold request of a phone number. That initial spark led to our first date that next night; a movie date in Battery Park, which planted the seeds to an intimate connection that has carried us in our continued 12 year love story.
