How We Met

The story is different for both of us, which we will continue to laugh about forever. Initially, we ended up coming into the same circle of friends between two different apartments. The "Turnberry crew" and the "Blu crew" would spend time hanging out at the apartment pools or at the local bars. I remember Ricky from a late night at the Turnberry pool, post a Ricky night at the casino. Ricky remembers me from meeting up for drinks at The Bulldog as I ranted on about how I make my homemade laundry detergent! It took two years of what turned out to be the most incredible friendship for me to finally realize that I had the same feelings for Ricky as he did for me!
