We were introduced by a mutual friend in the Spring of 2009. If either of us had believed in love at first sight, we might have reconsidered the meaning of our stomach-flipping reactions but at the time, we chalked it up to just meeting a babe. One day, 5 years later, we decided to hike from the Mohonk Preserve to the Smiley Top Lookout, scrambling through the lemon squeeze to get there. In the midst of helping each other over a cascade of rocks, we held hands and in that moment, felt an overwhelming sense of energy and love.
