Christian and I met on a sort-of blind date, but we were not paired together. When I first moved back out to California, I settled in Carlsbad and began working as a nanny for a local family. The kids I was nannying for had friends who also had a nanny. That girl and I became friends and she invited me to go swing dancing with some of her friends. I agreed, but little did I know, she had planned to bring the guy she was seeing and for him to bring a date for me. I show up for swing dancing and meet Christian, my friend's date, and my "date" couldn't make it. I ended up being the third wheel on their date! She graciously let me steal Christian for a couple dances and I couldn't stop laughing when I was with him. At the end of the night, he offered me his phone number so he could introduce me (for real this time) to some of his friends. About a month went by before I heard from him again and he invited me to hang out. I agreed, but I wasn't sure if he was available or not. The first question I asked him was, "are you still seeing that girl..?" As soon as he said no, I knew I wanted him to be mine. After that first date, we couldn't stop seeing each other and the rest is history!
