Hold my beer Nicholas Sparks. A Paolo's love story: patron and a waitress. If it wasn't for the Philadelphia Eagles, Bud Light, and me not using my college degree, we probably would never have met. We shared common interest in sports...well...I listened to him talk about the Eagles. He listened to me talk about...a little bit of everything; tolerating my ideas and tangents no matter how ridiculous they were. And if you know me, I can be completely ridiculous. We figured things out together. We laugh every day and it's my favorite thing about *us*. We've shared 4 addresses, traveled to 5 countries, 2 dogs and a graveyard of houseplants. It seems like a blink of an eye we're getting ready to celebrate 10 years together getting married in Portugal. My hope for us is that we always keep our eyes on the next adventure...and I can't wait to share this one with all of you- our family and close friends <3.
